Goodbye, Rockies

by prettyinpurple on Sep 30, 2010 6:32 PM MDT

The last game at Coors Field.

"We say thank you to the best fans in baseball!"

(teary eyes)

"You're welcome"

Bye, Cargo

Goodbye, field.

Goodbye, big screen.

Goodbye, Helton Burger Shack.

Goodbye, guys.

Bye.

"Oh, wow!"

Goodbye, Jeff Francis.

Ryan Spilborghs is a nice guy,

Ryan Spilborghs says goodbye.

Goodbye, flags.

Goodbye, hotdog stand.

Goodbye, concourse.

"I don't wanna leave."

Goodbye, crazy fans.

"Closed for the season, visit next spring."

Goodbye, the Player.

Goodbye, Coors Field.

Goodbye, 20th Street.

Goodbye.

(turns music on)

"Here without you I feel helpless

Sorry, I had to go away
Tomorrow's just another day
Without you here, I'll have to say
Hold on to love

How's your day? Do you miss me?
Right now, I've only a minute
I called to say, well, I'm so sorry
And once again I feel helpless

God forbid, we'd be apart
How close or shall I ask how far
Are we until the demise
Of this helplessness

Sorry, I had to go away
Tomorrow's just another day
Without you here, I'll have to say
Hold on to love, hold on to love
Hold on to love, yeah

~Third day, How's Your Head?"

Goodbye, Rockies! I'll be counting, and waiting for Opening Day...

Next Year....

WOW

PIP, that is so good. I feel that way every time when I leave the park. I look at everything and say bye, since I don’t know how long it will be before I get back to another. Another year in the book at home, but there will be more. Hopefully with better results, as I’m sure as all of the PR folks and OUR Colorado Rockies want. Can’t wait for Opening Day. I’m planning on being there. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Never been to an Opening Day, 2011-I’ll be there with the other 50,000 screaming ROX fans.

Thanks

I did cry during the movie they played before the game, and the “lasts” were so sad…
the last national anthem, the last 7th inning stretch, the last time I’d hear Tulos song, even though I hate it.

This is R year!
Uh, yeah, about that...

Sad close to Coors Field on Wednesday

Went to the game which was pretty exciting, but finished on the wrong side of the scorecard. Most of the players really thanked the fans especillay Francis, Spilly and Jim Tracy. I even saw them thanking the grounds crew….nice! I saw that character in the taco hat….where do you get one of those?

thanks for the post! There is always next year!

Enough of this mediocrity...win the NL West title!

A sad song started playing on my iTunes

when I began reading this post, and the combination of the two made me cry my eyes out.

Great post!

Transcend, if only briefly.
