(updated 5.5.2008 at 5:25 PM EDT)

The season thus far has been a slog through the mud, and it only gets worse staying near the bottom of the pile. Jimenez needs to follow up on his performance last time out and hopefully get through the sixth inning this time. The Rockies certainly need to do a better job of capitalizing on opponents' weaknesses. Pineiro enters tonight having suffered back spasms earlier in the week, if he's even a little off, our bats better be ready to capitalize. Look for a lot of strikes, he doesn't like to get behind in the count, which should play into the strengths of a couple of our hitters that like to come up swinging like Matt and Yorvit.

Holy crap! Hurdle repeating a lineup that had success! Newspapers! Telephoned! Immediately!

We're all going to die!

Timely hitting

Timely hitting and a solid start would be great ways to start this game out (like the last one).

by MADness on May 5, 2008 6:17 PM MDT   0 recs

Still trying to contain my shock...

Christopher Domenic, 2 days in a row! I know it happened once before this year, but this is without an extra inning game happening within the last couple of days. ‘Netta two times in the last two days! OMG!

"From now on let's stop worrying about winning and losing, just go out and play and have fun. If you make an error forget it, if you strike out who cares. Just as long as you hustle."

Let's hope

that the other Ian repays our trust with big dividends tonight…. and even if he does, the betting is very low that he gets three straight starts.

We're all going to die!

Maybe

a corrective knock on the head?

St Louis most walks in the NL

please throw strikes tonight, Ubaldo

That is a pretty scary middle

with Pujols/Ankiel/Glaus. Zulp.

We're all going to die!

You're thinking

of Glaus circa 2003. Glaus today is not scary.

by Tom (RFTN) on May 5, 2008 6:36 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Still has a lot of doubles

10 or 12 already. And hell, with Uball on the mound, Skip freaking Schumaker can be scary.

We're all going to die!

Please Uball, do this

Francis, Cook, and OH GOD DON'T LOOK....

by The Lodo Magic Man on May 5, 2008 6:33 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Unfortunately

your signature is wrong. It should be Cook and OH GOD DON’T LOOK.

by Tom (RFTN) on May 5, 2008 6:36 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Starts off with a ball

Please do not let this become indicative of larger trends.

We do not have Aaron Cook on the mound

How can you make a leap of logic to assume this means we will win?

We're all going to die!

by Silverblood on May 5, 2008 6:42 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

I think you are also making

an incredible leap of logic, believing that I think we will win.

Get Ankiel

I don’t like him. I don’t know why. I just don’t.

Does Ianetta call the pitches

or is that coming from the dugout?

Wow

another K. 97 mph fastball on the hands

That ball was hit pretty hard

I like this Pods guy..

Seem to recall he did that a lot in the opening series.

I am loving this burrito.

Never had I thought of putting bacon on a burrito… best idea ever.

by Tom (RFTN) on May 5, 2008 6:50 PM MDT   0 recs

Breakfast burrito maybe?

Francis, Cook, and OH GOD DON'T LOOK....

by The Lodo Magic Man on May 5, 2008 6:51 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Forgot about those.

I was referring to a regular burrito, from Moe’s. Steak and bacon… plus a whole bunch of other stuff.

La Russa

This is why most managers bat the pitcher ninth.

by Tom (RFTN) on May 5, 2008 6:55 PM MDT   0 recs

The odd thing is

La Russa somehow got Yost to come on board with him on this.
