Wednesday afternoon, the Rockies pulled off an incredible rally, turning an early 10-1 deficit into a 12-10 victory. Nine runs equals the biggest comeback in franchise history, and the fans, as you can imagine, are having a grand old time:

Time and a place. Time and a place. The Rockies are there now. After a march on Atlanta, the next move is an anabasis to the playoffs.
