Party in ... Colorado

I’m a firm believer in cheesy sayings like, “Practice like you play”, “If you look good you’ll play good”, and “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail” just to name a few.

So was I surprised when Troy Tulowitzki only hit the ball to the warning track in the 9^th inning of a tie ballgame?

Nope.

Okay, here’s why.

Tulo is one of the classiest players in MLB. He and players like Evan Longoria are going to be the faces of the game for many years to come. And at home in Colorado he is going to be following in the footsteps of Todd Helton as the downright leader of the team and the face of the franchise. Not only is his image great but he has game. He has a canon situated on his right shoulder and, as we saw last year, the power to hit off the nastiest throwers in the game. He is a team player and player you can build a team around.

But... when your walk-up song is Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus I don’t expect much.

Da Da Dadada Da Da Da Da TuNO!!!!!
