The most exciting thing to happen almost ever was the magnificent run by the Colorado Rockies this season. I would have been content with the pummeling we handed over to the Yankees in the middle of the summer. But that wasn't good enough for them, they had to go all fancy and demolish all competition in the last month of the regular season. 'Twas awesome!
Is it any wonder that by the time we got to the World Series in OCTOBER that we were pooped? I think it is a much more honorable thing to have won our own title, the National League Championships, rather than the "big one."
I never realized before how silly the World Series was. It's just the All-Star Game minus the rest of the all-stars. It's cool, and way to go if you win but it doesn't really illustrate what you've done over the rest of the season. We played the Red Sox. Big deal. I have nothing invested in beating the Red Sox aside from beating the Red Sox. Now, beating the Diamondbacks, that's exciting. Those are our brothers. The Red Sox are the weird, rich, hulking cousins that we only see once a year.
So, basically, it's a disappointment that we did so dismally in the series. But as the banner in my hut will show, I am exceedingly proud of the boys for winning the one that counts. We are the 2007 National League Champions, and we deserve it! We Rock!
