Game #40: The Thorn of the Rose vs Pwnings
Colorado Rockies @ Arizona Diamondbacks
I like thinking of it a lot better in those terms. Andrew Gifford has it right, Jorge de la Rosa is quite possibly the greatest pitcher of his time. There needs to be more pride, more of our blood tonight. The time's basically up for tinkering and if the Rockies can't beat the D-backs now, they might as well plan a summer trip to Glimmerglass for the opera or Tanglewood to go hear the Boston Pops, or maybe just take an art tour in Europe because their baseball games really won't mean anything. If they want to go local, I'm sure Aspen's Summer music festival could use some volunteers. Might as well get some culture and mingle with others afraid of making noise or getting their uniforms dirty and don't really care about beating the Diamondbacks.

If this
was Micah Owings circa 2003-04, I’d be rooting for him. Sadly, he had to be a D’Back. Boo!

A couple D-backs boards, including Jim's
mention that Francis is tipping his pitches, which would make sense the way the Snakes are hitting them. It’s hard to imagine a team being that good without some help. The Rockies video people and Francis need to work on this ASAP.

The Indians starting rotation..
Has pitched 43 1/3 scoreless consecutive innings. The last time a team did that was in the 40’s and Satchel Paige was on the mound.
