I don’t even know what to say. It was one of the most amazing games I have ever seen live. The Rockies battled back to beat the Marlins 18-17. The Rox were down 9 at one point and the only time the teams were tied was before the game had started and the bottom of the ninth. It was the greatest comeback in Rockies history. 

I seriously don’t think I can do this justice. If you are reading this then try and find a highlight reel, start with Sportscenter (I would have said Baseball Tonight but we are in the West and they won’t have it on because the game went too late). I will give you a little tidbit though: the Rockies had six homeruns and the Marlins had 22 hits. Combined, the teams had 35 runs on 43 hits. It was truly amazing.

 I was at the game tonight and I didn’t just see an amazing game. I was lucky enough to be able to sit with George Brett for an inning, which for my family is like meeting God. My brother is named Brett for a reason, and he was sitting right in front of me. He came down to our seats just to say hi to my mom who has had a fantasy her whole life of watching a baseball game with Brett. Then if that wasn’t good enough, my dad and I were on our annual walk around the stadium- while the fans move from left field and the rockpile to the field for the fireworks- and I saw Ubaldo Jimenez walking around. We stopped and said hi. Then finally the fireworks, which couldn’t even compare to the fireworks in the bats tonight. 

The Rockies will go for a third win against the Marlins tomorrow, and hopefully the third one is the charm and it won’t have to be won in a walk off situation. 

ROCKSTAR of the game: GARRETT ATKINS (he is always forgotten and tonight he went five for six)
