Sweeping the Cubs for the Last Homestand of 2012

Last BP of the season

This was the last home series for the Rockies in the rough 2012 season.  I actually found time to go to all the games so I was at Coors a lot this week. This was weird because it had been pretty empty for the past games but because it was the Cubs it was more full than normal.

The first game was pretty cloudy but I hung out with Rachel, EB, Rox Addict, Jared, and Jersey Geoff. This was another busy game where I did not get many photos because 1. it was cold and 2. it started to rain.

It was a rain out game but they got in 6 ½ innings and so the Rockies walked way this one wet but with a score of 10-5.

The second game was the same way cold and wet but they ended up playing the rest of the game and Jared and I were able to sit second row above the dugout which were sweet seats! The Rockies Walked away with this one dryer than the night before with a shutout win of 6-0.

The last game of the season was a day game and it as packed downtown! I ended up going down very early to hang with friends and to see if anyone would stop! Some of the guys did stop which was awesome! Coach Dauer, Andrew Brown, Eric Young Jr., and Josh Outman. The two guys of the morning though were Matt Belisle and Dexter Fowler. They both pulled up and got out of their cars and walked over to all of us and told us thank you for all the support this season along with signing some autographs and just being class acts. This meant more to me than anything this season, for two guys to get out of their cars and just say thanks was more than any of us could have asked for!

The game was a good game and I ended up sitting with Jersey Geoff. It was pretty packed and so finding a seat was kind of complicated but I ended up in the 4th row which I couldn’t complain.

  The Rockies ended up sweeping the Cubs with 7-5 win. Great way to end the last home series that is for sure!

O ya JP Hit a homerun to put the Rockies up and he was the player of the game!

After the game all the guys walk around and throw out Promotional items from the season and I actually ended up with Baby Bulls hat! Awesome to make connections with a player and to have him throw me his hat was amazing!

Thanks to Mike who took this when Baby Bull was giving me the horns!

 After we stood out back to watch the guys drive out and then went to Fodo’s and the Chop House for dinner!

It was a bad season but great season for interactions! I still at least one more post for this season but look for posts in the off-season! I’ looking to interact with some of the players and see what they are up to in the off-season!
