You know,
if the Dodgers are also trying a catcher out at third base . . .
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Ummm hmmm
I just noticed that… interesting.
Gadzooks, that is an ugly lineup for the home team.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Todd batting cleanup
Interesting move – I thought he may move back down to the third spot but not cleanup. Let’s hope it works out well.

I will have MLB.TV tonight
A friend loaned me a subscription. I wonder if this will hurt more.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
You should always
ask questions you already know the answer to.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
I'll give it a try for the first two innings
If it’s making me more homicidal than usual, it goes off.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
I've timed it ocasionally
and it’s about 20-30 seconds behind.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence

Coors looks pretty empty
Surprising for a Friday night even if it is cold and windy.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Well...
the average Denver citizen isn’t as interested in torturing themselves with this team the way we nutsos are.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Good first for Francis
Two flyouts and a strikeout – let’s score early and often against our nemesis, Brad Penny.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Good start for Francis.
Kemp goes down swinging.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Willy T walks!
And Penny’s velocity is way down from his normal.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Willy draws a lead off walk.
Come on, Q!
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Not quite what we wanted
but at least Willy’s in scoring position now.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Russell Martin
gets a foul ball hit towards him. His name is Russell.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Willy!!!
I love the aggressiveness on the basepaths lately.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Willy steals third!
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
RBI groundout
Whatever works – 1-0 Rockies.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
1-0 Rockies
after a ground out by Matt. It’s a lead.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Using too many resources?
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Ugh
Kent with a triple.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Jeff Kent strikes again.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
you know I was looking at the standings today
We have played the fewest home games in the majors – 10 – by far. I think the lowest I could find for any other team was 14. The Cardinals have played 18 home games. I really think Coors is going to help the team.
So, can we see Larry Bowa
get ejected tonight?
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
One down
How about a strikeout next?
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
That works
Anything to stop Kent from scoring.

All right, just one more out
to nullify Kent’s triple.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Jones Ks!!!
Excellent work by Francis to get out of it without allowing a run.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
And Jones
continues to do nothing.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Be quiet you!
Haven’t you learned you’re the living embodiment of a jinx? Every time you ask someone not to do something, they do it, and every time you ask someone to do something, they don’t.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
But Jones didn't
go 13-for-15 with five homers last weekend.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
That doesn't mean you need to make him start
You know if he does anything, you bear the onus of it. Well, you and potterhead.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
That wasn't the sarcastic reverse-jinx?
Cause I’m taking credit for the strikeout.
Nicely done
Make sure your crystal ball is intact for further calls of said nature.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Aye aye.
Notice your Yorvit reverse-jinx also worked.
Oh hooray
My favorite situation! Yorvit up with a runner on first and one out.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Yorvit does not immediately fail
Is this progress? Time to see if Barmes can figure out what made him good for the first few weeks.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Yorvit also walks!
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Penny
Jeff has mentioned a couple times that he’s the only guy not wearing long sleeves. Maybe he should have rethought that?
It'll be a reverse of Game 1 of the NLDS
when it was incredibly hot in Philly and Hamels was the only one wearing them, leading him to trouble.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Time for our new starting shortstop to come through
Two on with one out. C’mon Clint!
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Penny
in person is his physique so David Wells-esque?
Barmes!
I don’t hate you anymore!
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Yippee! Barmes!
2-0!
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Perfect bunt from Francis
Can Willy T come through?
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Nice play by Martin
to save some runs.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
I was trying to figure out why Martin was playing 3B
I guess that’s one reason.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Jeez, if Iannetta did that
during his tryout, we should have put him there and gotten his bat into the lineup…
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Tonight
My halfway adopted not really like-watching-them-but-sometimes-root-for-them-to-screw-up-since-reactions-from-the-fans-are-amusing team are our best friends. That would be the Mets, who are playing the Dbacks, who they lead 1-0. Time for those Snakes to lose a little.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Uh oh
Two out hits = not good. Let’s get out of this now Jeff.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Jeff works out of it
Good deal.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
No damage done
But despite the fact we have 2 runs, we could use more than 1 hit.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
No damage done, but
I don’t want to see Pierre with another hit.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
And if he gets it
when it does matter, blame me.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Um Q?
You’re not supposed to do that anymore, remember? You’re supposed to pretend you’re still in AAA.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Hard to pretend
that Penny’s a AAA pitcher.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Oh, Matt . . .

TODD!!!
Woot!

3-0!
Yay!
Sidenote: When I went to the game on Monday, I told my friend (a Giants fan) about the Beardo and Toddfather nicknames. She thought it was hilarious and proceeded to yell them out the rest of the game (she was half rooting for the Rockies, since I was, and she mainly just likes going to games).
Watching Barmes
throw the ball to first makes you realize what a cannon Tulo has.
Every day is a Holliday!
Keep it rolling, Jeff
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Cohen and Darling

Neat inning for Francis.

Another walk for Yorvit
That’s something you don’t see everyday.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Um...
Yorvit had a good AB there.
I can’t believe I just typed that, but tis true. Worked out of an 0-2 hole for another walk.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Bad luck
The catcher playing third strikes again!
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Russell Martin, grrr.
Boo. Nice play.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Jones down again
You can’t help but grin to see him fail.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Uh-oh
In Arizona, Maine is attempting to reciprocate Owings’ generosity. 4-2 Mets now.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Just out of curiosity
what’s with the growing fascination with updating Arizona’s games all the time? I know we’re chasing them, but it seems weird to me to be constantly watching their games throughout all of April and into May. Why not just kick back and root for the Rockies and let the rest work itself out? It’s still early, lol?
Because
we want to see them lose. Even if it doesn’t matter. Because they need to. Shrug.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Was just curious.
Don’t often see SF updates or anything like that. Maybe I just don’t pay close attention. No bigs. Was just wondering.
Mets are there tonight
So I get the game in HD. And I sometimes follow the Mets to see when the fans will go crazy and boo Wright, Willy, Reyes, Johan, and Delgado
Mets
fans say the darnedest things. Last week at Shea I heard a fan say something that Jose Reyes couldn’t possibly do to himself.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
I follow the Mets
because they’re the one New York baseball team I don’t hate, and I go to their games as a poor replacement for home. I even like one or two of their players. But I always laugh whenever they screw up, since Mets fans tend to think the sky is falling on everything. (Evidence: Someone wanted Randolph fired due to ONE CLIFF FLOYD AT-BAT).
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
It's evidence that there's a legit rivalry there between our teams.
I’d let the updates slide as they mean the teams and their fanbases are maturing.
Martin again
That’s starting to get annoying.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Wow... as of right now,
We’re on pace to score almost 6 runs a game with an ERA of 0.00 this month. That would help our chances a little.
Grrrr . . .
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Q!
Do that more often and we’ll be alright at second base.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
But he's stranded at second
Matt drove is pretty well to right field, but he didn’t get enough of it.

"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence

actually, though in fairness
That pitch was munch more justifiably swung at than a lot of those in the Giants series.
Yep, all mine.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence

There goes the shutout
Minimize the damage now Jeff and get out of the inning.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Really all mine.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Good evening, Row.
It appears we have ourselves a game. Come on, Jeff, get a ground ball DP and let’s get out of this inning.
Does anybody derive as much pain as I do
from Jack saying “the shortstop, Barmes”?
Are you going to pretend that
he has the next 60-75 days off?
by Tyler Boschert on May 2, 2008 8:49 PM MDT up reply actions
CRAP CRAP CRAP
Double steal, full count on Loney. NOT GOOD.
Francis getting yanked
After 5 1/3? Are you trying to kill the bullpen clint?
It's a no-win situation
If he leaves Francis in (who’s thrown 100 pitches) and the worst happens (base clearing double or something), a lot of people will be complaining that he should have made a switch. But if Speier gives up something, everyone will say he should have left Francis in. Given Francis’ pitch count, I’m not sure it’s the wrong move.
Eeep.
Not good.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Speier coming in
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
BB.
Bases chucked for Tubbo Jones, and here comes Speier. Apparently, Clint’s thinking is “crap pitching beats crap hitting.”
...with a condition that, disconcertingly, reminds me of Cookie's from a few years ago.
I don’t wish that on anyone. Get better, Kipper.

Does Ryan Speier really do any better
at assuaging your anxiety?
by Tyler Boschert on May 2, 2008 8:51 PM MDT up reply actions
Need to keep my games straight
I have NYM/ARI and LAD/COL open, and I saw in play runs on the Gameday screen and momentarily freaked out before realizing it was a good thing, as Church hit a homer off Owings.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
Another strikeout!
One more to go Speier!
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
WOOO!
Speier K’s Tubbo! The “crap-on-crap” theory works!
One more out, Ryan.
Speier
I’m sort of confused. Why are we calling Speier a crap pitcher? Sure, he’s had his rough outings like everyone else, but overall he’s been respectable, I thought.
I rather thought the same thing
It probably stems from the last Giants game, but on the whole, he’s been loads better than the one he replaced.
Then again, considering it was The Viz, not hard.
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
I may or may not
be blindly lashing out at every Rocky I can think of.
Further, he just walked in a run.

Does this mean Martin’s going to stop playing third? Come on Ryan….

At least, that’s what Jack said.

Seven runs in the inning.
Six with two outs. Unbelievable.

god, the Rox give Cook the lead & win but yet when Francis is pitching, it's like...

Well, this is looking A LOT like the same period of last year.
Only this time, Tulo isn’t there to chew the rest of them out. I am not optimistic.
I'm betting Tulo's @ home chewing them out

7 runs in one inning this time! BY GAWLY, WE IMPROVED!
Mrs. Silverblood Fankles
And six runs come with two outs
Not to mention the fact that Speier had Sweeney on the ropes with a 1-2 count but couldn’t finish him.

Francis
was good up until the end there, but he was throwing too many pitches. He needed to be more efficient earlier in the game, and maybe he would have been able to get through 6 and the bullpen would have had a fresh start in the 7th.
But the way things are going for this team, it wouldn’t have made any difference.
I lack the words
for how bad this team is.
We're all going to die!

Jason Grilli is warming up in the 'pen.
We are seriously going to put a pitcher on the mound who was not good enough to be in the TIGERS’ bullpen. If that doesn’t spell “desperation,” I don’t know what does.
Yep, iiiiiit's Jason Grilli time!

Did Grilli the Psychic
happen to see a) how to pitch to Kent, or b) when our offensiveness would cease?
We're all going to die!
He's psychic
He knew he would soon suck for us, but we’re feeling blue and playing a team that wears blue. Blue being a close color to purple, after all.
We're all going to die!
If anyone gets this reference, I'd be surprised:
“No, not sad blue. Blue blue. Toilet bowl blue!”

Jack said that this is the most lethargic he's seen the Rockies.
Now THAT’s saying something. I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it.
You know who could get this club fired up right now? Tulo.
Since he's not here
One of these yokels is going to have to get off their duffs and act like they care about it.

There's a DP.

Amazingly, Grilli didn’t give up a run. Mark Redman might be able to make up for it next inning though.

This whole season is becoming scray comical
I have now switched my focus from how can they win to how are they going to blow it tonite.
It is almost a nightly suicide watch. Who will get hurt? Who will groove the pitches? Who will fail to get the key hit? Who will ground into the inning ending DP? Who will botch a defense play and overthorw a cutoff man?

Martin at third the entire game and put DeWitt behind the plate after the pinch hitter came in for Bennett. It would’ve worked out better that way.

"HurdleLogic User's Manual"
Chapter 11-18: Bullpen Usage
All wins count the same, and all losses count the same. Therefore, it does not matter if you are ahead by one run or ahead by ten runs, or if you are behind by one run or behind by ten runs. Therefore, use your best reliever only when he has an opportunity to obtain the most overblown statistic in baseball (see “Save” in glossary), and use whatever reliever suits your fancy at all other times.
