i never will forget those nights, i wonder if it was a dream
One week ago tonight I couldn't sleep because of the anticipation of clinching the division. And I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight for a whole different reason.
I refuse to use the frowny-face paperbag icon that I'm sure many of you are familiar with and associate phantom_hpuff with. The Rockies flat-out outplayed us, they were better. And being a fan isn't about being proud of your team only when they're the best. It's about pointing to them when they lose, when they break your heart, and being able to say "yes, these are my boys and I love them"
These are my boys and I love them.
I would've rather seem them lose Game 5 in Philly than in Denver, in front of real fans. How sad is it that two expansion teams play in the NLCS and two teams with loyal, long-suffering fanbases have no choice but to wait till next year. I'm sure there are hardcore Rockies fans and Dbacks fans out there in Arizona and Colorado (and for true Rockies fans, what a blessing this team has been). I'm also sure that 3/4th of the people in attendance there at Coors Field tonight know less about the Rockies than I do.
All I know is that one of these years I'll be crying on the last game of their season, and it won't be because they lost.
It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
which makes me smile inside
so I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
surprise, surprise, surprise
