All Hail the Rally Rake!

It's the second week of July and the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, the AAA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, are leading the PCL Pacific North division by 5.5 games. It should be more but the Sox just dropped 3 straight to the Portland Beavers (Heh heh heh. He said Portland.). This is a team that hasn't won fu*k all since forever (Hey Rockies! Thanks for suckin') and are now poised to make a run for the playoffs. They question is why this team? Why now?

Enter the Rally Rake. The bullpen crew, namely Ryan Speier, Damian Moss and Kurt Birkins, started worshiping a groundskeepers rake, treating it with reverence and the love it needed, and the rake, like all things magic, is paying them back with victories and the blood of their vanquished.

Now just start taking the damn thing on roadtrips and all will be well in the world.
