The Rockies as Tanks

by Russ on May 20, 2007 6:15 PM MDT in News

We all want the Rockies to be like an Abrams tank:

This is an XM1 Abrams, the experimental model back in the late '70's. The Abrams tank is the main tank of the US Army and is a hell of a vehicle.

On the other hand, the Rockies are more like an Italian M 15/42 Medium Tank from World War II:

It looks good, but it's an Italian tank. You can't really expect much out of it.

I like that comparison.

See: signature.

On the bright side: I have something to complete consume my life until December! By then it will be over and I'll start hoping again and god only knows what will happen then!

Never mind.

I go up and down about the Rockies.

Sometimes I'm sure that we're a better team than our record indicates, and that we've just been unluckily shafted to end up at our current less-than-stellar 18-26 doldrums. On these days, I'm sure that the key producers will get it in gear and we'll be fine for a while -- maybe not great, but fine.

Other days, I'm sure that we're just a horrible team that should have lost far more than we have. It goes back and forth. Unfortunately, I'm still addicted to them, and therefore will continue to torture myself all summer by watching them. However, no matter the situation, I never root for the Rockies to lose. (They do that enough already). And so it may take a terrible toll on my mental state, and I'll be absolutely crushed on a number of given days, but hey. I may be happy too. I just have to take this thing one day at a time and hope it doesn't kill me along the way...

Go Rockies!

Damn.
