Look at that guy

If someone would have told me back in April that the Rockies would come out of nowhere, win the N.L. Wild Card and sweep their way into the World Series while winning 21 out of their last 22....I would have kicked that person in the teeth.

The Rockies are usually just that team that sits there and really doesn't do anything. They're not really bad, but they're usually not very good either. They'll show up, have 3 to 4 guys that put up nice offensive numbers and fuel us with plenty of jokes when it comes to the pitching staff. Pretty tame, but then this happened.

If you tell me that you had any idea that this would happen, you're either a blatant liar or you need to be giving me lottery numbers. Either way, this Rockies run is one of the most bizarre and most amazing things I've ever seen while following sports.

I don't follow the Rockies much, I'll admit that. Matt Holliday is probably my favorite player that's not on the Atlanta Braves and I have been following his career for a while now. This is what I've said about Holliday after the home-run derby a few months ago...

Personally, I was rooting for Matt Holliday who I probably have some sort of man-crush on. I've said it before, I'd spoon with a disease infested Grizzly Bear if it meant getting Holliday on the Braves.

So yes, you can imagine that I'm genuinely happy for him that he won the NLCS MVP and even though I don't follow this team a lot, I'm genuinely happy for them as a group as well. They just seem like good guys to root for and I guess that a lot of people wouldn't mind seeing them win it all right now.

But speaking of awesome, just look at that mascot right there. He's probably the coolest mascot I've ever seen and I would rank him even higher than this guy.

I mean, he's got so many things going in his favor. He's a dinosaur, which is already pretty bossy...he's purple, he wears kick ass sneakers and his body seems to be covered with colorful M&M type candy. How is that not the coolest thing you'll see all day?
