i'm watching the game on mlb.tv

It's simple

The Rockies are the pedophiles and a West Coast road trip is Chris Hansen.

awful at bat by helton

despite the number of pitches he saw... kept trying to pull pull pull on everything away. so what happens when seanez comes inside? what a shocker.

by avsfan4ever33 on Aug 19, 2007 12:22 AM MDT reply actions

Has ALWAYS been a strikeout pitcher. Coming into this season, he's averaged over a strikeout per inning for his 15-year career (471 K's, 446 IP) and is on a similar pace this year. He's always had an oustanding arm.

loaded the bases the bats have gone completely silent. Frustrating.

by Knepster on Aug 19, 2007 12:39 AM MDT reply actions

never done this before

but honestly, if they lose this... i'm going to take a break from following the team. i guess i take them pretty seriously. maybe too seriously. i'll need some time to regain perspective.

at the same time, i have to be honest with myself. i talk big now, but win or lose, i'll probably be right back here tomorrow.

stupid rockies. just get good already.

I wonder

if Seanez will go for a third inning or if the Dodgers will turn to their last pitcher in the pen, Saito?

He didn't pitch

last inning either.

this is sour grapes

but i'm telling you- maybe not later this year, maybe not next year, but at SOME point, the dbacks are due for HORRIBLE luck in close games. it's going to be like, 2010, and they're going to lose 20 straight one run games. and i will be the first person to remind their fans that they had it coming ever since 2007.

Rockies have

Carroll and Torrealba left on the bench, with Corpas and Ortiz in the pen.

I know Saito is the only one left in the Dodger pen, not sure about their bench.

we need more.

anyone notice that older pitchers tend to pitch around holliday more? i don't know about hernandez specifically, but it seems like anyone who might have faced helton back in the late 90s or early 00s refuses to believe that (although i still love him) he's a shadow of his former self. younger guys tend to go after him more.
