Fav Blog

My favorite blog is mlb.com/blogs. But I really like Todd Helton's.

He has been doing his blog since his team made the playoffs. The blog has been about what he has been going through, how excited he is to play, how the fans make a big impact, and the winning streak the team is on. It is always fun to watch a team win on television, but to read what a player goes through and know his actual feelings is even more awesome.

Here are some examples:

Wow. A 2-1 win and we’re going on to meet Arizona in the National League
Championship Series.
To get where we’ve always wanted to go, I knew we had
to win at least one of these close, low-scoring games. I’ve watched the playoffs
on TV for years. You always have close games like this in the postseason.


I want to talk about the more than 50,000 fans that helped us. I hope
they're loud and crazy and I hope they enjoy themselves, because we're going to
be playing hard and enjoying ourselves.

There's going to be a lot
of anticipation in the stadium. But when you get into that whole atmosphere, you
really have to calm down.


Seeing the fans, seeing the look in my teammates’ eyes, knowing that we
actually set goals that we were able to accomplish -- that’s the unthinkable, to
come back from where we were at, most people would just pack it up and make
plans for the offseason. We kept battling. Now we’re celebrating.
