Game #33: Wainwright vs. Francis
St. Louis Cardinals at Colorado Rockies, May 7, 2008 6:35 PM MDT
Since the series against the Astros in April, the Rockies have gone 0-4-1 in their last five. The team's already ensured that another series win isn't possible until the weekend, but with wins tonight and tomorrow, at least we can avoid another L.

I am halfway convinced we are no longer capable of this
We can put in the request, and then watch the Rockies ignore it as usual, I suppose.
We're all going to die!
I'm giving up
listening live to Broncos draft pick Jack Williams on MHR Radio tonight. Win, please!

Jeff is getting that called on the outer part of the plate.

I went to last nights game
These two teams are obviously differently coached

Caught a break
LaRue playing for some reason instead of Molina. Two runs down after one, and Wainwright on the mound likely equals more failure for the hometown muppets.
We're all going to die!
Good god
This team is just wretchedly unwatchable when anyone not named Aaron Cook is starting. Without exception. It’s just insane. You’d think we could win a game once without him, but seriously, no.
We're all going to die!
Thank you FSN

yeah to follow up on my earlier post in this tread
the Cardinals, made, plays, made throws. When Looper ran out of gas in the 9th Larousa, pulled him. The hitters actually were patient.
the Rockies….looked snake bit

Trust me, I know
I’m pretty sure we all qualify. Honestly, watching a Rockies game is the most grueling and unpleasant thing I do all day, yet I keep thinking it’ll get better soon. It…. won’t.
We're all going to die!
Actually...
They make me feel better about everything I do. Failed that test? It’s okay, the Rockies are worse. Didn’t get that job? It’s okay, the Rockies are worse. Unfortunately I’d much prefer it if the Rockies were better than me, because they’re the pros in this relationship.

Clean inning this time, Francis.

Hooray
Helton swings at a bad pitch on 3-1, and the inning’s over. Time for Francis to give up more runs, I suppose.

Hey Francis
Do you know what a strike is? Throw one once in a while. Might change your view.
We're all going to die!
NO...just nibble
and the other teams over aggressiveness will get them to pop up, weakly ground or strike out on bad pitches.
OH>>>>.sorry that’s the scouting report on the Rockies. My bad

Keys to winning the Game for the Rockies
score more runs than the Cardinals. This requires, with hitting OR pitching, preferably both.
So far….neither.

Brock was traded in '64 and won the pennant for the Cardinals...
nobody has ever ripped that trade in St. Louis.

Sorry you missed it...
one of the few real highlights from a seriously depressing season to date.
It sucks
Being at my parents’ house, playing the Cardinals… this is one of the few opportunities I have to watch the Rockies on a real TV instead of a computer screen. Ah, but with the afternoon game today, I get the flat-screen downstairs to watch the game.
I am an absolute idiot...
.....turned off the game in the 6th to watch “The Brave One” with Jodie Foster (it sucked). Can’t believed what I missed. Gonna watch the half-hour recap on FSN. You are all diehards….I am a crappy fairweather purple rower.
Winning
is better than losing. And Spilborgh’s facial hair is, without question, the best thing about the season so far. Outstanding, sir.
