I hope it's blowing hard...

We need all the help we can get. And I’m not there, so I don’t have to deal with the cold. :) Speaking of, it was FINALLY warm today. I was almost tempted to believe it’s spring.

GO ROCKIES!!!! Please.

It’d be nice if we could catch another diamond in the rough.

What's the betting

O’Dowd actually moves to acquire a good pitcher? The sit-and-wait-until-we-figure-it-out theory, and/or let’s-hope-bad-pitchers-get-better has predictably bitten us in the unmentionables.

Don't worry

we are starting a catcher who failed a physical and has a bum shoulder. Running on us ain’t too difficult. Although that was more De La Rosas fault there.

I guess Yorvit “earned” another start yesterday because he got on base a few times.

Isn't anyone embarrassed about this RIGHT NOW

Instead of just kicking back and going, “La dee dah, we’ll get better?” (O’Dowd, I’m looking at you?)

Does anybody on this team care that we’re getting eradicated by the Dodgers on back-to-back nights at home, and looking thoroughly deserving of being the worst team in baseball? ANYBODY? Or is Tulo really the only sparkplug here?

We're all going to die!

Torrealba has NO arm…none…..6 year old girl arm. And he can’t hit…...why is he starting?

22 runs in two games

and this one not out of the sixth.

There is something very, very wrong with this pitching staff.

I hadn’t noticed.

2 pitches, 2 outs

Yep, they’ve officially given up now.

by Silverblood on May 3, 2008 8:23 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So to recap....

We spot the visiting team 6 runs, come back to tie the game with 6 runs of our own. THEN, our pitchers (none of whom are worth a hoot) give up 5 MORE runs to effectively take us out of the game again.

With all due respect to those who don’t like the negative tone on the Row lately, I wonder what the hell it is that we’re supposed to be optimistic about.

I don't think

People will be living in a fantasy land too much longer. This team is bad right now and no it’s not fluke or bad luck. I’m a Rockies fan through and through and I will watch all the games regardless if they win 1 game or 120 but this team is brutal.

by RyanBuff on May 3, 2008 8:27 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

One more Run

and we get cheap TACOS!

I’m reaching, but hard to be happy about being the worst team in baseball. (Padres winning, and us losing…it’s official!)

on pace to pitch in 196 games this year. I’m glad Hurdle doesn’t over use one of good pitchers

Can't have it both ways

either we run out our 3 good relievers (Bucky, Herges, Fuentes) every night, or we let Corpas and Grilli and Newman pitch

Or

We could actually sign some more good relievers.

Also

I’m sure Ian Snell is being seriously looked at in a deal to fill a rotation spot. Good gracious.

I know we hate the Viz

But O’Dowd did spend some serious money to get a legit late inning guy. When is he coming back, btw?

by moomacher on May 3, 2008 8:35 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Haven't heard

but he’s eligible to come off the DL awhile ago (april 19th)
