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.

Yeah well

Don’t forget who we have pitching. This could be as much a hindrance as a help.

We're all going to die!

George of the Rose

vs. Estebum-step-on-the-gas DUIza?

Um…... this is tough.

We're all going to die!

I'm intrigued by de la Rosa

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

Go get those Dodgers for us:-)

We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.

Um

What are the realistic chances of this happening?

It’s Jorge de la Rosa for cripes sake. Plus our own incompetence.

Thanks for the thought, though….

We're all going to die!

Well, we got a win today after we were down

when someone sliced their finger open.Turned the game right round.
Sometimes, the baseball gods demand blood,lol

We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.

We could sacrifice Corpas?

Three straight singles

This experiment might end quickly.

I guess if de la Rosa sucks

we can get the experiment over with quickly. He’s doing just a fine job so far.

Walks in a run

I’m ready for this experiment to end.

This guy appears to go

to full counts on everyone. That is, if he doesn’t give up a hit on the first or second pitch.

We're all going to die!

by Silverblood on May 3, 2008 6:17 PM MDT 0 recs

And he walks in a run

Grand.

Even before

the Rockies bat? Have to at least give them three outs.

And the experiment is over

And an actual pitcher

Not one of your “rehab” projects. I want a pitcher who belongs in the major leagues.

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.

by Silverblood on May 3, 2008 6:25 PM MDT up 0 recs

I'll watch the bottom of the first

If it’s 1-2-3, I have better things to do then subject myself to this…. well, I don’t even know what to call it.

We're all going to die!

It's finally over

After 25 minutes or so of suckiness.

Jeez

I was drinking some serious Colorado Kool Aid in the offseason, I guess. We have two, maybe two and half major league starting pitchers. Tough to do much with that.

That was what,

all of three minutes?

Three straight popouts

And Holliday still hasn’t met a first pitch he didn’t like.

And the pitcher gets a hit

This might be a long night.

Might?

We're all going to die!

by Silverblood on May 3, 2008 6:35 PM MDT up 0 recs

Only if I watch the whole thing

And that’s not looking like an enticing prospect right now.

Loaiza gets a hit

I’m maybe two minutes from giving up on this.

by Silverblood on May 3, 2008 6:34 PM MDT 0 recs

Soooo

Reynolds will be picking up the start next week? Or are we going to a four man rotation? O’Dowd realizes you do need five starting pitchers on a MLB team right?

by moomacher on May 3, 2008 6:35 PM MDT 0 recs

Not if you ask the Rockies circa 2005...

Yes, those guys.

by potterhead4 on May 3, 2008 6:36 PM MDT up 0 recs

De la Rosa is so bad

it’s beyond bad.

That was way too east.

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.

by moomacher on May 3, 2008 6:43 PM MDT up 0 recs

Meanwhile, Chris Iannetta sits on the bench

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

That was good play by Barmes,

but the Dodgers till score.

It's okay.

I find it hard to type too when my hands are shaking from this much frustration.

Yes, those guys.

ONLY 2 Runs that inning

He’s getting better! At this pace he might throw a scoreless 4th inning!

Garrett Atkins for 2nd ! Ian Stewart for 3rd !

by Redhawk on May 3, 2008 6:44 PM MDT 0 recs

So anyone else see

getting a pitcher that couldn’t break into the Royals line up, might not be a great idea?

Garrett Atkins for 2nd ! Ian Stewart for 3rd !

by Redhawk on May 3, 2008 6:45 PM MDT 0 recs

I think the Taco Bell promotion

should be if the Rockies GIVE UP 7 runs we get cheap tacos. That would at least cheer us up the day after….AND it would happen far, far more often then the Rockies scoring 7

Garrett Atkins for 2nd ! Ian Stewart for 3rd !
