Well, that was exciting. If you had four hours and 40 minutes of free time last night, I hope you spent it watching the Padres-Rockies play-in game. First Colorado was up 3-0, then San Diego got up 5-3 thanks to an Adrian Gonzalez grand slam, then the Rox chipped away until they had a 6-5 lead, then it got tied up and they went to extra innings. Without getting into the details too much, most of the runs were scored as a direct result of outfielders playing Little League defense — bad routes, poor hand-eye coordination.
Extra innings, yadda yadda, Pads get a two-run homer in the 13th from Scott Hairston and send out Trevor Hoffmann to save the game. Back-to-back doubles from Kaz Matsui and Troy Tulowitzki, followed by a Matt Holliday triple, tied the game. Then Holliday tried to score on a shallow flyout to right field, and he missed the plate on his slide but got called safe. It was the wrong call, but whatever. At least somebody finally ended the game.
Then the Rockies celebrated with Coors Light, which ensured that nobody got drunk. The End.

4.2% of total crap
CSI: Colorado might want to run a black light over that hat.
I would have demanded Keystone Regular
Michael Barrett! Thanks for dumping that douche Cubbies!
What, no banquet beer? I guess they are athletes.

Hope nobody who wants to watch these games has a job.
Don't worry – nobody wants to watch these games
My only hope is that JI-JIM THOME is watching, seeing as how he left the Indians for a chance to win with the Phillies. How's that working out ya' corn fed douche bag?
I can personally attest that a suitcase of Coors Light, when consumed 4 at-a-time through a 25 foot beer bong, will get you hammered.
Tap the rockies, indeed.
did anyone notice the dude behind home plate last nite who had his little dog at the game? it really freaked me out. it was a big, fat dude with this little, 6-pound dog, and it looked like the dog had a sweater or maybe a dog baseball jersey on.
who brings their fucking dog to a baseball game? how did he get the dog in? is he a part owner of the team or something? how does someone who would bring a dog to a baseball game get tickets directly behind home plate? my mind is filled with questions.
They celebrated by pour Coor's light on themselves? Ha…Way to piss on that win Rockies.
I would've called Holliday out…rather dramatically.–Enrico
Gah!
What the hell was Bud thinking? Walk the bases full you moron! Haven't you been watching Trevor this year?
Holiday was out. Not that it matters, the next batter would have hammered a quintuple off that overrated sack of shit Hoffman.
Aaaaaaaaand STILL waiting for Rockies bukkake.
Isn't Kaz Matsui on the team?
Ok, ok, ok…being at the game last night I can say it was the greatest thing I ever saw. That being sadi there are a few things.
One is those game times are fucking outrageous. Absolute bullshit.
Two, the guy with the dog is always there, but it might be a lady. But when your that fucking obese whats the difference.
And last, Try Tulowitski for ROY. Hands down.
I am looking at my World Series tickets right now and have a strange feeling they will never be scanned by a nice, elderly gate attendent.
The home run-double, the safe call, blah, blah, blah. Did anyone else notice the Miracle in the Outfield? Wheelchair-bound in the seventh and standing up on her own two feet in the eighth? Coors Field is the new Lourdes!
Welcome to the post-season Todd Helton.
if you only make the wild card, they dont even give you champagne.you get shitty light beer.
Trevor Hoffman, he can never save games in huge situations. I called this when he came in in the 13th.
@ RBD, I saw that lying bitch! She used her handicapped status to get those choice seats and then she was running around out there. Between that bitch and the fucking homo with the rat dog behind the plate, it was like the Baseball Twilight Zone last night.
I was there! After Holliday was called safe all hell broke loose and a streaker ran onto the field and got shoestring tackled by security, hilarious. When Hairston hit that home run in the top of the 13th, you could have heard a pin drop in the stadium. Holliday may have been out, but Atkins home run should have counted. Umps blew that one as well, might as well make up for it.
Note: Coors light is used after every game to shower with
