PrintColorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants, Apr 28, 2008 8:15 PM MDT
Last season, the turnaround began with a sweep of the Giants at McCovey Cove. Right now, we're looking up at San Fran in the standings. I want to be looking down on them again by the weekend. Actually, as far down as possible. The bleeding has to stop here.
Go Rockies.

Yay, baseball!
I’m heading off to the ballpark in a few minutes—I’m excited. Tonight is when the offense needs to get going. Tomorrow they’ll be up against Lincecum and the weather is supposed to be colder and foggy, so it’s more likely to be a pitcher’s duel.
Okay, off to meet my friend at Willy Mays Plaza. Go Rockies!
No Zito
Not as a starter, at least. Giants moved him to the bullpen. Too bad. If the Rox hitters could get healthy against anyone, it would probably be Zito. Oh, well. Maybe we’ll get a shot at The World’s Most Expensive Relief Pitcher.
My daughter says she wants to marry Taylor Bucholz.
But I'm not sure about the beard.

So
how we gonna lose tonite?
Scott Podsenik for center field 08
We will
take a 3-0 lead into the fifth, when Morales blows up and gives up 7 runs. We will battle it back to make it 7-6 going into the top of the ninth, load the base with no outs, followed by a strikeout and a game ending GIDP.
Thank god for baseball season.
Gotta get better
Starting tonight. I’m interested to see if Tulo is in the lineup tonight, because lets face it, if he were anyone else right now he wouldn’t be playing too much. Maybe even down in Springs.
Cain is winless in his last ten starts
and getting 1.5 runs of support per game. Wow. Go Giants offense.
But that offense
might just be good enough to win tonight!

so that means
its gonna be 0-0 heading to the 22 inning

I hate late start times
But maybe San Francisco is the town to end the losing streak. Go Rockies!

And a late start time
to you is?

These 10pm starts are killing me
Are the Rockies ever coming to the east coast?
Philly at the end of May.
That’s so far away.

But obviously I sympathsize with our east coast viewers.

Bad luck
Hopefully that isn’t a sign of things to come.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
We really need a sweep
and if we don’t at least win this series, I might go lose my mind.
Thank god for baseball season.
Same modus operandi as before
Watch until it hurts too much. This point has come at varying places over the last few games, but it always comes.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Nothing comes of Todd's walk
and now it’s Morales time.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
At least Cain threw twenty pitches
At this rate, we might only see him five or six innings and get to Zito sooner.
D-backs still on a roll
I’m in Texas & have D-backs/Astros on TV. Haren has a perfect game through 4. Astros other than Berkman (lined out to RF) have barely been able to muster a loud foul. 1-0, Snakes. At this rate, they’re going to clinch by the All Star break.
My daughter says she wants to marry Taylor Bucholz.
But I'm not sure about the beard.
Even though the D-Backs look unbeatable
I don’t think they will just cruise to a dvision title. I know so many people have handed it to them already, but I highly doubt that they will keep up this pace for 162 games. Don’t get me wrong, I think they will probably end up with the NL West crown again, but they won’t win 115 games. All those young players are bound to hit a bump in the road at some point. Right?.....Right?
Thank god for baseball season.
That's what they said about the '01 Mariners
So really, our best hope may be that the Dbacks win an ungodly amount of games and then get bounced embarrassingly in the first round.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
3-0 Snakes, bottom of 4
Double, 2 RBI by Reynolds.
The only question about the outcome of this one is if Haren gets a no-hitter.

Bad outing, Frankie, bad outing,
because whenever I ask for anything, the opposite happens.

Seriously
thats a bad lineup the Giants have there
Do not underestimate our powers of suck
Their suck is good for one more win than our suck. That hurts the most.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Well, that
was scary when the ball left the bat.

How many balks is that for Morales? 2 already?
Balk
Uh oh, he always seems to fall apart when that happens.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
So, have they
actually worked with Morales to correct his balk problems.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Good for him
He’s been needing to get thrown out of a game for a long time.
So... Quirk's managing the rest, I take it?
Hurdle might have as short a fuse as the rest of us right now.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
morales
needs to stop that dumb balk. little things. he did this all spring and now its here in the season. coaching needs to step in teach him right. i blame hurdle for that
Scott Podsenik for center field 08
Goodman said three this year
on the TV broadcast, but he’s going from memory so I don’t know if it’s official.

Did he go with Nix to Colo. Springs

1-0 already.

Wow
I’m always amazed at how easy we make it look for bad teams. Durham with his 5th (!) RBI of the year.
I’m pretty sure I have a really low pain tolerance tonight.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
send morales to the springs please

they look asleep again
i know they are tired they havent had enough days off but wake up. u got the day off thurs
Scott Podsenik for center field 08
Which is basically
a day off for us from having to watch them lose agonizingly.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Yeah...
I…. hmmm. Yeah. My evening was going a lot better before this.
Sometimes I am really ashamed to be a fan of this team.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Anyone with the
Giants’ feed, did they list “Baser” as the third batter next inning?
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Well
I just listened to “The George Karl Show” and nothing the Rockies do tonight can make me angrier than that show (or, what is about to happen at the Pepsi Center). But of course, I say that now, down a mere 2-0…
If there is silver lining
It has to be that the Nuggets make the rockies woes seem minor.
Thank god for baseball season.
Yep
I’m disappointed that he’s playing tonight, and batting so high. He needs to be benched, but barring that, he needs to bat 8th.
The question here
is not how we lost 15 games, but rather how we won 10.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Or putting
an asterisk next to that series since it still has one game left to be played.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
3-0 to 3-2
and then a hit. That’s snazzy.

Did the Giants announcers...
just say Torrealba has “some speed?” Our Yorvit Torrealba?
Let's trade for him quick.
Can’t be much worse than ours right now.
anybody but the pitcher
and thats a infield hit. o well top of the order next inning. should be 4-0 by then thou

And Matsui's up with bases loaded, 1 out
He’s been playing very well since he finally showed up.

Please Kaz
I won’t hate you for what you did to us in that last Houston game (someone would have done it anyway) if you help us out from afar. Not that it makes much difference standings-wise, but schadenfreude is all we got.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Naturally
This is the Dbacks we’re talking about. Things don’t go wrong for them. Their underwear always smells of lilies and the sun is always shining on their pony pastures.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Popped it up
Michael Bourn to follow.
Hitting about .180.
Traded him for Lidge, who’s 6 for 6 in saves with an 0.00 ERA.

Bourne K'd

enjoy colorado springs, champ
maybe the sky sox will start winning with uball and morals?
a pcl champions pennant would look great at security service field.
Scott Podsenik for center field 08
Sad
but true. He needs it. As does Jiminez. Nothing wrong with hoping some kids can come through, but there is a lot wrong with sticking with them when it is clear they are not ready to be fulltime starters.
I'm actually less worried about Morales
I really wonder if Ubaldo is ever going to be able to tame his wildness, though.
As Jim Rome might say
He brings his gas can out to the hill every inning and just hopes nobody lights a match.
No DP.

Snakes get affronted that the Stros
might DARE to challenge them, and add a run. 5-2.

Michael Bourn again
Had a shot at a runner scoring from 2B on a single.
Threw it 5 feet over the catcher’s head.
The Astros’ new starting CF, very soon: Darin Erstad.

But I'm not sure about the beard.
On an unrelated snakes-related note
Who is a better bet to keep swinging a hot bat, Jackson or Reynolds?
For fantasy purposes, you know
CoJack for average, consistency, and OBP,
Reynolds for power, HRs, and every once in awhile a stolen base.

13 K, 2-hit, complete game shutout.

Maybe we should try the MMH approach?
Matt Cain, Cy Young frontrunner. Man, he is just a great pitcher. No shame in losing to Matt Cain. Totally unhittable.
Great AB by Tulo
with a bit of help from the ump
Hey
he also swung at one pitch out of the zone. That’s progress.

Whaaat?
Tulo didn’t swing after he went down 0-2?

Naw, it was well-hit. (maybe broken-bat)
This team isn’t just struggling, they’re getting very unlucky.
good ab by baker
thats all u can ask for
Scott Podsenik for center field 08
So, let's see
Likelihood of us scoring a run: Very low.
Likelihood of us holding a lead (in the far-fetched scenario that we get one) Even lower.
Likelihood of them scoring more: Good. (One run in 17 of 37 Cain starts. They’re already past that).
Silver’s Pain Tolerance Tonight: Extremely low.
Trying to gauge what would make me stick around a little longer. Hmm, good question.
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
I'm stuck at work
so I’m not sure what’s worse…what I’m supposed to be doing, or flipping over to see the misery of the offense…or listen to the Nugs. Lame all around.
To be fair to Frankie...
that was real close.
A ball right past Atkins
turns into a double.

I don't think the Rockies are taking their charter plane to road games this year.
I’m pretty sure they’re using a short bus.
Every day is a Holliday!
This is weird sounding,
but I think Morales just got about 2 mph on his pitches after that DP. He was fired up.
3-2, struck out Cain.
Yay! Wait, should I be celebrating that?
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
As well as Morales is throwing (relatively speaking)
One strikeout after 4 innings is not the stuff of a potential ace.
Wait
Nix is still in the dugout and working out with the team? Why?
Oh we had him
I want to say it was the 05 campaign. But we had him.
It was '05 for Relaford...
The Rockies’ big free agent signees that year were Relaford and Dustan Mohr…true story. Those were O’Dowd’s key offseason acquisitions. So you knew it was going to be a long season. Desi came through with a .224-1-16 campaign in 73 games.
It’s no wonder he’s not well-remembered.

We need to get him out of here entirely
Maybe he’s infecting the rest of them from proximity?
PLEASE DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
I wouldn't doubt it
He looked bad enough at the plate to bring the whole team down even when he’s not on the team anymore.
pods should start

Like I've said before
Go tell White Sox fans how you feel about Pods, they’ll most likely laugh in your face.

Nashville is awful this year, but yeah, he pitched pretty well. Funny to see how the Sky Sox pitchers do when they’re not pitching at 6000 feet above sea level.

Well in the
pre-game they said the Rockies had the lowest team batting average ever in the team’s History for April 28th
And that includes the team that had Charles Johnson, and Royce Clayton

As far as I'm concerned
U-ball and I know it would never ever happen but Tulo can join him down South.
I'd keep Jimenez
just cause…...BUT the Tulo thing…may be a good idea. Really give the kid a wake up call. I mean, what could it hurt? he has NO idea where the strike zone is right now, and we can’t lose any more games with out him then we can with him
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?

I swear Desi Relaford would produce better than he is right now. Wow, that’s twice I’ve mentioned Desi Relaford tonight. Sweet.

Hawpe walks again
he is only hitting about .150 against him, but OBP is like .400. Bizzare

I just don't understand
How could you go from doing what you did last year, down the stretch and in the clutch playing absolute out of your mind baseball to this drivel we have seen through the first 26 ball games now? Are these not the same players? I mean what the hell is going on, really…
we used up all
of our luck for the next decade or so
Sold their
baseball souls to the baseball devil in order to have that run . . . maybe.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
My 2 cents
The Rockies sat back, signed big contracts, and were patted on the back all winter long. They lost a certain “edge”. The proverbial “sophomore slump” hits Tulo, Morales, Jimenez, and Corpas
That, and their pitching sucks. Rodrigo Lopez and Josh Fogg were better then Morales and Redman
Oh, and they were a team that struggled with inconsistency to be about .500 team….....like we are now. The “Streak” was the fluke.
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
Yep
Plus you can’t underestimate the playing with expectations factor versus playing as the underdog with no expectations.
That's Gotta Be
a huge factor. Something this team has NEVER had to deal with before. I mean last year at this time,no one would have even recognized these guys if they walked down the street.
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
I always say that's the true sign of a good team
whether or not you can handle playing with expectations and having a target on your back all season. only a select few can handle it.
Just remember,
in Sept. 2006 Renck said that the bloggers at Purple Row wouldn’t be able to spot the Rockies if they were lined up next to each other at Union Station

I actually emailed Renck last year
to rip him after one of the Philly games for going too lightly on Hurdle’s bullpen decisions. And he was very polite in his response.
Yeah I switched to the Nuggets
But nobody ever talks on their SB nation board so I’ll stay here.
To paraphrase that new nike commercial that Holliday is in
“My suck is suckier than your suck”
Your 2008 Rockies, ladies and gentlemen
I've been a fan of
some really terrible Rangers teams, and some really terrible Rockies team.
And this one….is the most pathetic I’ve ever been around. Inept all the way around. We can’t even compete against the Giants…and they SUCK
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
No kidding
I’m sure I could if I tried but I can’t remember rooting for a worse team right now.
Woo, Josh Newman!

HEY
the good news about being this sucky….lots of cheap scalper tickets available before the games at Coors Field.
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
I'm sure the Monforts
are delighted that the team has buried itself before one proper homestand. Wonder how ticket sales will be.
They only drew 35,000 or so against the Cubs last week
and I’d anticipate crowds between 20,000 and 25,000 most of the season. Somehow ‘classic’ games against the Mets don’t have the same cache` as the Yanks and Red Sox.

I'm not sure what is worse
being done on May 1st…..or the fact that I/we expected SO much more out of this team.
At least Coors Field at night in August is a great place to sit

The night the lights
went out in San Francisco . . .

...
Did they explain what was going on at all? The scoreboard graphics went out an inning or two earlier (video still worked, but they didn’t have the lineups, batters, etc.—in fact, they put up a very rudimentary score and ball/strike counter), and then the lights flickered and the umpires conferenced forever. From where I was sitting, I didn’t think any actually went out, but maybe some did that were above me.
It's 1 am for me and I'm still here.
At least it gave me some time to finish one of the books I’m reading.

Open 3
geeze…play some D Nuggets (like they will start now)
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
JR Smith
One of the only guys the Nuggets should keep after this disasterous season.
its funny how
Melo is universally loathed in Denver these days
Is he a leader?
Does he play hard night in and night out? Does he play D? I don’t think you can answer yes to any of those.
I thought the Nuggets could
win at least this game and not be swept
But they didn’t quit this game.
Now for the Avs to bounce back
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
Wow
There’s still a baseball game going on. I was so wrapped up in the Nuggets finish I had temporarily forgotten this misery.
Sadly
it looks like the Nuggets, Av’s and Rockies playoff chances are all going to end in the same week.
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
Nuggets
Who leaves? Who Stays? This team really needs to be dismantled and rebuilt.
and Rocky needs to be sold to the Rockies.
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
Let me start
Karl, karl, karl, karl, karl, karl, Camby, karl, karl, karl, karl, Iverson, karl, karl, Anthony Carter, karl, karl, karl, karl, karl, karl, karl, karl
Can't. Keep. Self. Up.
And I’m not tired.

and it's late
on the east coast.
Hell it’s late in Parker, CO (but I’ve got a very slow work week ahead)
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
Well I'm out
Goodnight everyone. Hopefully the Rox get it going soon but the sun wil come up tomorow, I promise.
Spilly, why'd you prolong the game?

Wow
is this a long game or what? Is it still going on?

Unless you guys
plan on scoring five runs this inning, you really shouldn’t be doing this.

Cain pitched a pretty good game?
We’ve gotten lucky—we haven’t faced Cain or Lincecum so far this season.

I'm not sure it was Cain
we made Estaban Loiaza look like a Cy Young winner yesterday.
Besides our Hitting, and our Pitching and our Defense we are doing just fine.

Cy Young winner?
Well, he DID come in second to Halladay in 2003.
