Merry Christmas to all my Row buddies. Hope y'all have a great holiday season and we all have a

1st place year in 2010.

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. ~Rogers Hornsby

That is a wonderful present!

Merry Christmas to everyone on the row! I hope your stockings are all full of RH backup hitting infielders, quality bullpen mates, and lots and lots of plenty for the new year.

Colorado Rockies, first in entertainment, first in fandom, and next year, first in the National League West.

Merry Christmas all!

I just got an awesome present: my Dad said he’s going to fly me into Colorado to go see a Rockies game at Coors! My first time at Coors! Ever! :D

Impossible not to have positive thoughts.

I want Sam Deduno to pitch already.

Merry Christmas Rowbots!

Hope everyone is well, warm, and has a wonderful day! It’s a White Christmas here in the Denver area. Makes we wish for spring, and by extension Rockies baseball. Here’s to a NL West Crown in 2010!

That's the true harbinger of spring, not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of a bat on a ball. ~Bill Veeck

My girlfriend got me the BEST present EVER!!!!!

She made me a scrapbook with all of our pictures from when we first started dating aww :D And then at the back of the book, she had TICKETS FOR US TO GO SEE ROCKIES VS. GIANTS RIGHT BY THE ROCKIES DUGOUT!!!!!!!!! I’ve never gone to a Rockies game ever, never seen a basketball or football game… My family just can’t afford anything like that. This will be the first time I’ve ever seen a professional sport in person so it’s gonna be freaking awesome =] It’s on August 30, 2010…at AT&T. If any Rowbots wants to get tickets to that game, that’d be awesome! I dunno… but I’m already really anxious.

On a side note, she also got me a BABW of the Colorado Rockies :) It was awesome…AH!

Merry Christmas, folks

Got the World Series DVD Collection from my folks – all the Series films from 1943 to 2008. Pretty sweet gifts. Any suggestions on what to do with the disk that contains the 2007 Series? Not really sure I’ll ever be up for watching that one.

however I got that one umpire book that was recommended to us, and I got a book about the unwritten laws of baseball. Also a leatherman, some new mitten/gloves, and some other nice things.

For the first time in several years, I didn’t get anything Rockies-related…probably because I spend too much on Rox memorabilia/apparel during the season.
