Now bear in mind that I am not a baseball fan (though my Dad is a HUGE fan) and the only game I've ever attended in my whole life is the one my father and I went to in April when I got free tickets from work.

It's still pretty cool our Denver ball team had to go to a wildcard playoff with the San Diego Padres yesterday to determine which team would go to the playoffs. Imagine my surprise when I went to the web site last night about 9:45 pm to get the results of the game only to find the game that started at 5:30 still going in OT extra innings (there, is that better, Ash?) with the score tied at 6! Ultimately the game went 13 innings with the Rockies finally pulling it out 9-8. How's that for excitement for Denver's Rockies Fans?

Now the team is in the playoffs for the first time in many years. Go Rockies!

Just a heads up that things are going to be wonky as I get my Pink October theme back up. Silly me thought I had backed up my theme right before I changed it for Blogathon, but I neglected to grab the style sheet. D'oh. Fortunately, I have a backup from last April, I just need to mesh the right hex color codes in. Be patient. I also promise this theme will not be here for the whole next year.

UPDATE: OK, we are officially PINK for October! The only problems remaining are those that I've always been too lazy to fix (like my comments sidebar). The whole purpose obviously is to bring awareness that October is National Breast Cancer month and to promote education about the disease itself. Head over to the Pink for October site for details and to sign up (once they fix the submission form). Of course, you can still go pink without signing up for the site.
