The Phillies’ stunning, come-from-behind, 10-inning, 6-5 victory over the mighty Astros in Friday’s Game 1 of the World Series got me dreaming.
If the 87-win Phillies can do it, why not the Rockies? Pinch yourself, the miracle of Rocktober actually happened. The 2007 wild-card team got hot at just the right time, won Game 163, and rode their magic carpet all the way to the World Series.
But that was 15 years ago and a return trip to the Fall Classic seems light-years away now. I’m tempted to call this column impossible dreaming, but let’s try to stay positive and call it wishful dreaming.
