The Full Roster. Kevin Millwood, Jhoulys Chacin and Edgmer Escalona. Those were the three Rockies on the 25 man roster not to see any action in the 13 inning battle.
The At Bat. Helton vs. Guerra. Down 6-4 and after falling behind 1-2 and three point five gazillion pitches later, Todd Helton came through in the bottom of the twelfth with the hit that saved the game. Somebody was just mentioning the other day that Helton's doubles weren't memorable. Let double #553 be forever seared into your collective memories, Rockies fans, as one worth bringing up.
The Redemption. Helton's double would have tied the game, and the subsequent Eliezer groundout to score Troy Tulowitzki would have won it had Dexter Fowler not made a poor decision to dive for a catch on a Trent Oeltjen drive in the first half of the inning. Already down 5-4, Oeltjen's inside the park HR gave the Dodgers that 6-4 lead. So, in the 13th inning, after a Mark Ellis double, Fowler came up with a chance to make amends.
Amends were made. The Rockies won 7-6. The best game of the season? Perhaps? Was anybody able to see it? Only a few hearty souls.

yeah he did
Drilled it into straightaway center and Kemp kicked it away and had to chase it. I honestly think he could’ve gone the distance on that.

Oh man, it was a good game.
Helton cast a spell that hypnotized all of us and that pitcher with AB.
I hope everyone that was one that bench or on base. Watch this, this is how you have patience and good things will come if you wait. I hope they all learned a lesson. GOod things come to those who wait for it.

This isn't too bad of an injury. Just weird.
I wasn’t too sold on him coming to the majors this season anyway. Despite his obvious awesomeness, he has has some efficiency issues which might have hurt him when he got to this level so early. It’ll be nice to have our guys work with him for a while before he gets here.

Todd Helton's at bat today is just one of many, many reasons why baseball is the greatest game we've got
Only baseball can extend the drama in the most exciting portion of the game like that.

Funny story
last year I was working on a project at school and went out to my car to turn on the Rox game and I got another game so I switched it to 630. I then sent my dad a text simply stating “I hate the Broncos.” His response, was not a question as to why or agreeing with me but instead the text I got back was: “630khow”.

That is how it works this time of year. The Broncos contract overrides all other sports contracts KOA has, period. Online, it is seamless to listeners, but is is VERY apparent here in Denver.

I have now been to three
of the four Rockies walk-offs this year. I would rather not go to any more (because we win before the 9th) but if they are going to happen let me be at the game.

Sounds like a heck of a game. Wish it had been on TV.

I saw it all
and there were about 3 times where i almost left. i had things to do. places to be, because i didn’t expect it to go 5 hours!!! The sun was hot, wife was bored. But i have a rule that i don’t leave games. ever. Thank God. My wife’s favorite player is Dexter, so everyone left happy.

Does anyone think
Helton can get 45 more hits this season?

That would be the 2400 hit marker

And I want to be at that game (2500 as well but that's next year)

Once again, I think we need to take at some type of helmets for pitchers. This kid was very lucky
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO DROP UBALDO AND NICASIO FROM MY FANTASY LEAGUE? I'VE HAD UBALDO SINCE 2008.
Self taught and falling in love with this game is very easy to do, you can never hate it, and that is something that not one person can take away from anybody. The love of baseball and OUR COLORADO ROCKIES.
Wood bats would help a lot at the younger levels

Aww, man.
I was looking forward to a late-night crazy post-blown save loss thread like last year.
Oh well.
This year sucks.

OK, it's official
Third straight game I’ve attended in person that came up with us having a walk-off win.
Went and saw WhiteSox in June — walk off win!
Went and saw Braves in July — walk off win!
Saw this game — walk-off win!
Maybe I’m charmed. (Note: I don’t actually believe this)
Also, the game lasted so long that I had 7 Mike’s Hard Lemonades (had a bit of a drinking competition with a friend…don’t worry, we had a DD), and walked away sober. Broke, but sober.
