Final Thoughts - Rockies four, Giants three

Mmmm, tasty G-men!

Matt Holliday is finally living up to the hype, I agree that it's got to do with going back home and getting healthy in OK, he must have worked on something while he was down there. Which leads me to another thing I've been meaning to say about Shawn Chacon, what finally convinced me his time as a Rockie needed to end was the whole whining about rehab thing, instead of using it as an opportunity to work with Bob McClure and step his game up a notch. If he truly felt he was above improving himself, than we weren't going to ever get a better version of him. Anyway, Holliday is starting to warm up on the road and his status as part of our future becomes a little clearer to me with each sweet swing of his bat cracking the horsehide.

Aaron Miles is finally playing his true role, pinch hitting utility guy, and the Rockies are starting to win again, go figure. Welcome Gen R!

The thing with Holliday
is that he'll hit that homerun and then come up next time and ground out on the first dang pitch!  That's what I love about Hawpe, his approach at the plate keeps him out of poor road situations because he has patience.  There is still a chance that Holliday could take the Garrett Anderson career path and suceed without being terribly patient, but he better keep roping doubles and homers in all parks, because that lack of patience could catch up to him.
