Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Rockies 4, Cubs 2 Post-game thread....

Okay, so I lied and apparently the fix wasn't as smooth as they made it out to be. Teaches me for being a corporate stooge and just rehashing the company line. At any rate, the good news is that the Rockies actually won the game this afternoon, Aaron Cook assessed our problem and then  took things into his own hands with eight solid to keep the bullpen off the field and two hits of his own to keep the offense rolling. What a guy.

Anyway, Scott Podsednik also looked sharp in relief of Willy Taveras with three hits, and Chris Iannetta hit his first homerun of the season. Matt Holliday doubled to start our two run eighth inning rally, and Ryan Spilborghs finished it with a run scoring single to give the Rockies their final margin.

In separate news, the Jamey Carroll trade was finally finalized, and the player to be named later turns out to be the player to be named right from the get go. Sean Smith comes full circle from being the reported player by Ringolsby to being pulled from the table, to being back on the table and shipped to Colorado.

Cook breezed through

the game from inning three to inning seven. Getting eight innings out of him today was huge since the bullpen got a rest. And Fuentes, well, more of that stuff would be great.

Cook’s outing today = Great
Fuentes’ outing today = Much needed
Colorado’s Bullpen The Last Week = Not so good
SB Nation’s Ridiculous Constant Downtime = Worse than our Bullpen

Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!

Cook

was amazing. He’s become my favorite pitcher on the team to watch. If this keeps up, he’s going to have a great season. Fuentes was good, too; one could tell he was excited to be back in that role. The offense was a mixed bag, as usual.

I'm just glad

For two things: One, the Row is back up and (hopefully) running in it’s normal state; two, the Rox snap their skid, with Cook apparently doing stellar work and giving the pen a much needed break. I’ll have to get the full report tomorrow from my boss who left work early to go to the game. (Bosses have the best perks.)

I have to admit I was in detox mode last and earlier today when the Row was down. Not getting my Rockies fix had a very negative effect on my state of mind. (dogs, I loved your comment in the Thursday Morning Rockpile post. Cracked me up.) Here’s hoping the “hardware” issue has been resolved!
