Rockies reach playoffs(Rockies to add more chapters to storybook year)

Gee...what a great game. A day off and the early rise today really paid off. It lasts almost 5 hours(broadcasting from 7:30 to 12:30). At the last minute, I almost gave up hope when I watched Hairston strike a two-run homer in the beginning of 13th inning. The worst was no body out. But something was happening so fast and so soon, the unknown momentum spread quickly through the bottom of 13th inning....and we started to celebrate to exhaustion...

Jamey Carroll's sacrifice fly in the 13th inning capped a three-run rally as the Rockies shocked the Padres to win the National League Wild Card. Colorado added a memorable chapter to its frantic finish, in which it won 14 of its last 15 games to reach the postseason for the first time since 1995.
