Game #9: James vs Redman

Li_l_rox_girl_tiny by Rox Girl on in Game Threads

Atlanta @ Colorado


So our weather situation appears bleak, and I think we'll have to consider this another iffy call as to whether the game gets played or completed or if thousands of baseball fans will be tempted with the opportunity to make snow angels in the Coors Field grass. I guess this is why they have the heater coils underneath the turf, to discourage such behavior.

Anyhoo- should the game get played, we will have an opportunity to see a match-up that doesn't appear to have quite the marquee value of the rest of the series. That's alright, we won't get offended that the Braves don't put up another one of their All-Stars against one of ours. Go Mark Redman,

and Go Rockies!

Weather issue

With another game scheduled for tomorrow that will almost surely not get played, my guess is they'll play in the rain at least long enough to make it official. (So let's not be slow out of the box tonight, guys) Making up 2 games with non-division opponents would be huge pain in the patoot.

I'm in Lakewood, and it's just showering off and on. Nothing major yet. Lets go Rox!!!!!

Looks gray, but not too dark. And yes, since tomorrow will likely be canceled, they'll make it official tonight as soon as possible... which means no lollygagging.

It's MarkRedmanWoo time. I bet the Braves are eager to face him... Which means we have less time to repair said damage. So in other words, this probably sounds familiar: OFFENSE!

Do not take anything whatsoever I say seriously before we win another game. Even if I tell you I am going to defenestrate myself (VOCABULARY WOOTAGE) just don't mind me, it's called black humor coping mechanisms.

Cool link!

Thanks for that. Living here, you'd think I'd have know about it. Doh.

In an interesting twist...

Spilly and Jeff Baker are in the starting lineup tonight.

Spilly in right, batting 5th, Baker at 2nd, batting 7th.

Is James a lefty?

Otherwise I can't think that Hawpe would need a rest already. Or maybe it's just shaking things up, but I believe Spilly has grounded into 2 DPs in his last 2 ABs and I'd rather have Brad in there. He'll definitely never learn to hit southpaws if Hurdle doesn't give him a crack at it. We know he's miserable at it, but hey, hope springs eternal.

Now what exactly is a miniature black hole of fail?

Is that where something sucked so much it ripped a hole out of our universe and into the parallel "fail" universe?

I am all in favor

Of Yorvit remaining in the lineup as long as, when he does fail, we bring our A-game with pictures displaying epic failure. Like so:

Hopefully he gets himself (and the O) on the right track tonight with a couple dingers in the rain?

Nah.

Just means we didn't waste any on the sh1tty Dodgers today, so combined with hitting only 1 last night, and the offday tomorrow, we'll have like 20 for you guys this weekend.

Maybe he'll get kicked out early

Would this be a record, even for Cox? Gone after 2 outs?

Not only

does Chipper need to let a few balls go by him in the field, he needs to stop hitting them also. Too much to ask for, I guess.

Willy's .200 with an RBI.

How is that possible with the ridiculous levels of FAIL he's been oozing out of every orifice?

Willy

has really improved at working the count. Nice to see. Also a decent amount of wood on that drive.
