Wow playoff baseball two days earlier (okay so it was actually a regular season game) but come on a one game winner take all game. Just look below:
A nailbiter till the bitter end. A perfect Game 163 for your inner baseball fan...for a Roxs fan well let's just say it was nerve racking. It is funny the sporting events I remember most. Most of them are baseball. The first world series I remember is the 1978 when the Yankees beat the Dodgers, then in 1982 during school our teachers let us watch the Braves and Cardinals NL playoff game, then a big break and the 1991 Braves/Twins series (greatest world series ever!), and then the 2004 Red Sox world championship. Of course the Roxs first and only playoff visit in 1995 against the Braves. New memories for 2007!
Odds for this year's world series winner for the Roxs is 8:1 along with the Angels with the D-backs at 10:1! Not much love for the Roxs. Even the baseball "experts" seem to say the Roxs had no chance at the start of the season (10%!). Basically winning the last 13 of 14 games (see above, yikes 12 more wins then expected). Of course we live in the no man land that is the Mountain Time Zone...but no national ESPN games and basically a no name line up. Hopefully that will end with this little playoff appearance.
