What Should Have Happened in Colorado

The Rockies and Padres played Monday night for a chance to be in the major league playoffs. Joe Koshansky blew the ballgame for the Rockies striking out to end the bottom of the ninth. The Padres ended up winning the ballgame in extras - thanks to Koshansky. The Rockies played 162 games in the regular season and 1 playoff game for nothing - thanks to Koshansky.

This should end a career which most would consider dismal by almost any measurement. He went 1 for 11 in 16 games (.091), while striking out more than a third of the time, are not numbers that will put you in the hall of fame. That does not include his K to ruin the Rockies' season.

You will not see Joe Morgan mistaking him for Adam LaRoche anytime in the near future on Sunday Night Baseball. You will have kids ordering Happy Meals from Koshansky mistaking him for LaRoche at his new occupation in the McDonald's located in Chantilly, Virginia. Its going to be good living in the parent's basement again right off of I-66.

We bid you adieu Koshansky; and when you are buffing the wax off of my car while making $9 an hour at your weekend job at the Simoniz Car Wash do not expect a tip because you are a pathetic loser who did nothing for an organization that wasted a sixth round pick and $40,000 on a half ass prospect.
