Saunders: Hey Rockies fans, adopt the Guardians as your playoff team

Hey, disgruntled Rockies fans, looking for a team to adopt for the playoffs?

Check out the Cleveland Guardians, the club that gives baseball fans who don’t live on the East Coast or in Los Angeles a reason to hope and a reason to cheer.

On Saturday afternoon, the Guardians beat Tampa Bay, 1-0, in Game 2 of the American League wild-card series, sweeping the Rays out of the playoffs with a walk-off home run by Oscar Gonzalez in the 15th inning.

Gonzalez, a 24-year-old outfielder who uses the theme song from “SpongeBob Squarepants” as his walk-up music, was the only player in the game with more than one hit.
