Rocktober Day is the New Black

“Rocktober” is out. “Rocktober Day” is in:May 1 is called May Day. I move that October 1 be called “Rocktober Day.”

Wwith the win today, the Rockies are just 4-5 on October 1, but look closer. All five losses came from losing teams – all four wins came by virtue of winning teams. More importantly, three of those wins represent the only three times this franchise has clinched a playoff berth. All three clinches came on October 1 at Coors Field. Really – it’s Rocktober Day.

The Rocktober Day Parade will spart promptly at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
