Game #159: Penny vs. Kim

by Russ Oates on Sep 28, 2006 1:47 PM MDT in Rockpile

It's been an awful season series against the Dodgers, and it doesn't get any easier today with Penny on the mound.

Right now I'm in between classes, but need to finish some reading. So that's about it.

Go Rockies!

Take that Brad Penny!

I heart Matt Holliday.

IBB for Iannetta

Somehow I doubt they'd do that for Ardoin.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 1:24 PM MDT reply actions

Aargh.

I don't heart James Loney.

Rockies going backwards?

Vin Scully was just talking about how it seemed like the Rockies had gone backwards from last season, despite having 7 more wins than they did the year before.

I thought the dean of MLB voices was losing his mind... but he quickly clarified his remarks by saying that it probably only seemed that way because of the dominance the Dodgers have had over the Rox this year. Which is pretty much indisputable.

God, I hate the Dodgers.

Me too,

We better turn things around against this team next season. I can't stand blue things right now.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 2:15 PM MDT up reply actions

Baker can do no wrong

3 for 3 after the RBI infield single...he's now batting .392 (20 for 51) on the year.

And as I type this, Tulowitzki comes through with an RBI single. I'm really liking the way our young core of hitters (Tulo, Baker, Iannetta) has played this September, and it definitely gives reason for optimism in 2007.

Way to go, Vinny

I think Vinny could be 90 years old and still be able to get around on a fastball. Thanks for one more memory, "El Matador"

Woohoo Vinny!

Eight to seven now. That's a nice little way to close out his career at Coors. A homerun would have been nicer, but I'll take it.

Of course, we'd be tied now if "do no wrong Baker" hadn't gotten stranded so far off second :P

kidding Drew.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 2:40 PM MDT reply actions

Indeed

I take full responsibility for that run not scoring.

I just thought I'd throw this out there

I don't like it when we play the Dodgers.

I do, however, like it when we show signs of not having rolled over and playing dead immediately.

Also, Matt Holliday is still a manbeast.

Go Rox!

Wow, this is fun.

C'mon guys, do something. We got our big boys (Garrett and Matt) coming up. Let's blow this thing open. I don't like the Dodgers, true. But I like the Giants even less.

I agree. I hate the Giants

I also hate the Diamondbacks, but I think I just strongly dislike the Dodgers.

YAYYY!!!!

Tie game! This is good. This is very good! Go Matt!

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 2:47 PM MDT reply actions

err. go Garrett first.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 2:49 PM MDT up reply actions

U-Ball

to make first start Sunday.

Apparently we're going through them all

Until we find one who actually got it.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 3:03 PM MDT up reply actions

Ugh

Why is Mike Venafro pretending to pitch for my team?

by Rox Fan in TN on Sep 28, 2006 3:04 PM MDT up reply actions

So seriously

Did they just quit using the humidor or something? This looks like one of those old-school Coors Field games. 10-10 in the fifth... sheesh.

by Rox Fan in TN on Sep 28, 2006 3:05 PM MDT reply actions

End of season, the budget's already spent

Couldn't pay the electric bills apparently.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 3:07 PM MDT up reply actions

Mr. I'll Figure You Out by Process of Elimination

can't purge hitters at the plate. Anything else new (besides Jimenez's start Sunday)?

by Russ Oates on Sep 28, 2006 3:06 PM MDT reply actions

If we had all of them pitch,

I might recognize him by his ineptitude.

This just in:

I don't like James Loney. 7 ribbie... jeez...

Great. Now I'm crying because of the hugs

For Vinny. We better win this thing.

It was encouraging, however

to see Sully get two walks. Maybe he has been reading Purple Row?

by Rox Fan in TN on Sep 28, 2006 3:14 PM MDT reply actions

I'm wondering if he just felt pressure from

Salazar, who's been the epitome of plate discipline since his call-up.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 3:16 PM MDT up reply actions

Speaking of plate discipline.

Iannetta gets on with the free pass yet again. His OBP is ticking up to where we'd expect it to be given his minor league performance.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 3:21 PM MDT reply actions

Haha! Ray King! Haha!

by Russ Oates on Sep 28, 2006 3:26 PM MDT reply actions

Forget what I said in the next thread down

Bullpen help is also a pretty big concern for the offseason. I get the point now.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 3:33 PM MDT reply actions

Ugh

Naturally, we can count on King and Mesa to take us out of the game.

by Rox Fan in TN on Sep 28, 2006 3:35 PM MDT reply actions

16-10

What a game.

by malakian on Sep 28, 2006 3:39 PM MDT reply actions

This is ridiculous

The Fat Duo of Terror puts us behind the eight-ball and utterly fails to stop His Highness James Loney, he of the 97 career AB. I really do think they turned off the humidor.

But he's got great professionalism

And teaches the kids so much about keeping games close. Clearly Jose is somebody we need next season.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 3:40 PM MDT reply actions

Vin Scully, please stop

Quit with the no pitching, no winning in Coors thing. Please.

by Rox Girl on Sep 28, 2006 3:44 PM MDT reply actions

Mark Hendrickson took a walk

That's a really bad thing.

Russ

Another football score

17-10... sheesh.

by Rox Fan in TN on Sep 28, 2006 3:51 PM MDT reply actions

I must admit

I'm getting a sort of vicious thrill out of this. Teams bitch about the high-scoring games. We get the humidor, they bitch about that. Well, now, welcome back to Old Coors Field. Have fun burning through your bullpen and inflating everyone's ERAs.

by Silverblood on Sep 28, 2006 3:59 PM MDT reply actions

Yes, that's a small satisfaction

I also got a vicious thrill out of watching Jeff Kent screw up that play which Spilly scored on. But I think what I really want is for the Rockies to come back next season and beat the Dodgers every damn game they play them.
