I'm the biggest Rockies fan ever

Why am I the biggest Rockies fan?

1.) I wore green from August to mid-September as a good luck charm for Troy Tulowitzki so he could get Rookie of the Year.

2.) On Troy's birthday, October 10, I made all of my friends know it was his b-day and we celebrated.

3.) My friends and I voted that Ryan Spilborghs had the best facial hair for the 2007 season.

4.) I have a huge purple ring that everyone has kissed for good luck.

5.) During the NLDS I begged all of my teachers to let us watch the game and when Kaz hit his grand slam we all screamed "go Rox" through the hallway.

6.) My phone ring tone is a bunch of my friends screaming "go Rockies".

7.) I'm 8-0 when I go to their games, including the Saturday 29th game against the Diamondbacks when my favorite player hit his only grand slam.

8.) My desktop screen is a picture of Tulo.

9.) During the Padres game I had volleyball practice so I begged my coach to bring a radio and we listened to the game. I was the only one that understood the game and I was jumping around like a fool. Everyone thought I was crazy.

10.) My school agenda and locker are decorated with articles and pictures of the Rockies.

11.) My friends and I created a "Go Rockies" handshake.

12.) I have a Rox binder with a collection of pictures, articles, and the 2008 schedule.

13.) I bruised my toe and it turned purple, so everyone around me told me that only a true Rockies fan would get their toe bruised and have it turn purple.

14.) My homepage is coloradorockies.com on my computer and I check the headlines everyday.

15.) During spring training I would sneak a laptop at school to check the box score. Otherwise teachers would check for me to keep me posted because they know how much I love the Rockies.

16.) The pictures on my Ipod are of the Rockies during their latest game.

17.) My IM screen name is 2lo_rox( tulo, Rockies)

18.) During April fools day my friends snuck into my locker, moved all my stuff, including Rockies decorations, to a different locker and the only thing left was a picture of Tulo with red x's all over his face, and the words "Tulo has been terminated".

19.) Knowing what a big Rockies fan I am, my Social Studies teacher told me I was aloud to leave his class to go to a game.

20.) The sign I have made for opening day asks Tulo if I can ride in his Maserati.

21.) I got and NL Champs hat but they only come in one size fits all, which was too big for my head, so I sewed the hat in three places so I wouldn't have to return it, I love it so much.

22.) A play list on my iPod includes most of the Rockies' walk-up songs. The play list is called walk-up songs.

23.) I wrote and essay in school that compared and contrasted Clint Barmes and Jeff Baker for the second base job. Obviously we know who got the job, neither of them.
