And no Atkins again. Swell….

This will either be a horribly embarrassing game or we’ll do something decent. There you have it…and I’ll still be tracking it.

Rockies are habit forming and may become addictive.

so…will we be wearing Green Sky Sox uni’s and will Sox the Fox be in Coors Field today too?

Go Colorado Rockies Sky Sox!

Lulling the Mets into a false sense of security!

to Todd and the Toddlers.

You know, if all this – the terrible record, all the injuries – is the trade-off for what happened last year… I’d still make that trade all over again. Don’t know about you all.

there are 2 names on their roster I don’t recognize. For the minor league experts here, any idea/help?
Radames Nazario SS R R 6’ 0” 166 20 06-14-1987 Active
Leonardo Reyes OF R R 6’ 0” 1 65 19 08-02-1988 Active

I notice their ages are really, really young for AAA.

and I would love to see a nice winning streak, by these AAA scrubs.

But Minnesota and Arizona just got grand salamis. At almost the same time.

errs and Herrera winds up on second. Come on, Todd.

awww

are havin a real tough first two starts so far, aren’t they?

The Yorvit Specialty. Don’t get me wrong, Iannetta hasn’t been much better. But I would REALLY like to see him get about four starts in a row and see if he can find a rhythm. Playing him once every week or so is not going to help. I think he’s been critically mismanaged the past couple years…

just had his 500th hit.

Let it not be like yesterday’s early lead.

comes up with the ball on Castillo’s bunt! Time to get that run back.

Reyes picked off for the second time in 3 games, unless I’ve missed one or more.

How this team strikes out so much. It seems that they strike out over 10 times a game every game, but I know it’s not that much.

But if we keep up our pattern with Maine, it won’t be QUITE good enough.

With the kids coming up. Now would be a good time for the first Big League hit of the seasson.

one out! 3-1 Rockies!

I remember this kid from last year! Wasn’t he pretty good?

3 runs 1 hit!

I’ll… show myself out.

Seth Smith’s first major league HR! Couldn’t have picked a better time.

Mike Pelfrey?

Maine is tough.

What would be wrong with letting him sit out for a series? We may not get anything from CDI, and we may. Nothing to lose…

Needed to get back out there and shut them down right away.

That Clayton Kershaw kid with the apparently amazing curveball is pitching for the Dodgers. It is apparently not fooling any of the Cards: Pujols just blasted one for a double to score a run.

More RLISP. Why am I not surprised? Herrera becomes Maine’s 7th victim by K.

Yeah. Bright side: At least Jorge de la Rosa didn’t start this game!

Stewart?

That was the pitcher. Error = bad.

Nice!

WE STILL HAVE ONLY ONE STINKING HIT.

You are just lucky it left the ballpark.

Todd doubles.

We don’t hit Maine much, but when we do, we make sure he feels it, at least.

This would be a good time to help secure my affections, Ian. Just a thought.

Oh, but it’s bases loaded. . . .

“What! A sac fly? I’m just amazed he didn’t hit into a DP.”

has apparently gone to the Dusty Baker School of Managing Starters. Maine at 119 pitches.

And be losing to the Rockies’ JV team?

Decides that sac flys are so worth our time to watch. I would think the Helton double that led to the sac fly would be the better highlight, but no, they think we’d rather see Yorvit getting under a pitch.

Outs, Cookie. Outs.

The concussioned wonder is coming up now.

Normally occur before the 7th. No wonder his pitch count’s so low.

Play a double-header today?

strikes out.

to catch up to that 93-mph sinker. Attaboy, Aaron. Now Ryan, go lie down somewhere and don’t come back until we’re done playing the Mets. Or at least disappear spasmodically along the way. It’s for your health, you know.

OBP machine.

Clint Hurdle called, he wanted his “Put the pitcher on base” strategy back.

Pods, you’re doing that a little too often for my tastes. That’s supposed to happen when Aaron Cook is on the MOUND, not when Aaron Cook is on FIRST BASE. Do you have a faulty sense of direction?

Bravo.

Feels a lot more comfortable with Cook pitching the 9th than anyone actually specialized for that role?

Aaron Cook with a complete game winner!

I am so glad that JDLR did not start that game.

Got home in time to catch the 8th and 9th. Nice play by Herrera there to finish it off. At least we won this series. Makes me feel a little better. Nice attendance this week-end as well. Good to see so many folks at the yard.

What on earth is that?

Are the Padres and Reds still playing?
