It's Rocktober in Colorado!

I think Coloradoans are one of the biggest bunch of sports fans out there.  It doesn't matter which sport it is we cheer them on.  In pro sports there is our hockey team, the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets in basketball, the Denver Broncos for football, the Colorado Rockies in baseball and our newest team, the Rapids, our professional soccer team.  We definitely have the college football teams covered as well.  Perhaps we don't have quite as big of a showing for other college sports or minor league play. We pretty much root for all of our teams year ‘round, but especially when we are having a good season.

Speaking of good seasons, our Colorado Rockies are having their best season in history!  After a great finish to the regular season landing them in a tie for the wild card spot they clinched the wild card spot in an exciting win over San Diego.  The first round of the play offs turned into a sweep.  The Phillies are out of it and the Rockies are facing the Diamondbacks in the next round. 

Typically baseball is too slow paced for me.  Not enough action.  I prefer hockey or football.  Even basketball is better.  But with the excitement of the Rockies play and the enthusiasm of all the fans I have been sucked into the playoff buzz.  It is no longer October in Colorado, it's Rocktober!

Hopefully we can get through the rest of the games without snow delays!  :)
