I swear, other than Todd Helton and ex-Met Kaz Matsui, I never heard of anyone on this team until the playoffs. Now they're bullying their way through the postseason and I'm almost glad the Mets didn't make it because Colorado would've killed them. I do recall that the Rockies swept both the Mets and the Yankees during the regular season so they've been pretty good, but who knew they were this good?
I like the run that the Colorado Rockies are on and they'll definitely add some much-needed juice to the World Series if they make it there. But as a longtime Mets fan, the idea of ex-Met bust Kaz Matsui playing on the top stage in baseball in the same season that my Mets suffered the greatest collapse ever, just fills me with hurt, anger and great envy.
There's two things that'll help me get over the hurt from the Mets historic collapse: another Yankees first-round exit (Go Indians!) and the Rockies taking out Jimmy Rollins' Phillies. So far the Rockies are keeping their end of the deal.
