Li_l_rox_girl_tiny by Rox Girl on

St. Louis @ Colorado


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!

I think I'm on a very short tether again tonight

I’ll stay for the first few innings, I suppose.

We're all going to die!

I went to last nights game

These two teams are obviously differently coached

2nd base....anyone? Who hasn't played there yet? Holliday @ 2nd...Spillbourghs in LF

You mean

One sucks, one doesn’t? We knew that.

We're all going to die!

Base hit to start the game

Just the way I like it. Hooray.

And a walk.

Pujols up. I want to feel good things once his AB ends.

Should have been a DP, Garrett

Nice play by Holliday.

nice catch

Holliday.

But Francis down a run already.

This always turns out so well.

I hate Ankiel.

2-0. I love the smell of napalm in the evening!

Looks exactly like Francis's last start against the Cardinals

Balls everywhere. Oh right, that didn’t happen, right?

We're all going to die!

HGH with an RBI single

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

by The Lodo Magic Man on May 7, 2008 6:49 PM MDT   0 recs

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!

by Silverblood on May 7, 2008 6:52 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

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

for showing Q getting gunned out at 3rd last night, AGAIN.

that WAS an amazing throw

2nd base....anyone? Who hasn't played there yet? Holliday @ 2nd...Spillbourghs in LF

by Redhawk on May 7, 2008 6:53 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Q!

still doing it with the bat.

by The Lodo Magic Man on May 7, 2008 6:54 PM MDT   0 recs

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

2nd base....anyone? Who hasn't played there yet? Holliday @ 2nd...Spillbourghs in LF

ok Matt

pick one up

Evening Everybody

Just signed on. Looks like another great start…

Yes, those guys.

This team brings me nothing but pain

Seriously, I do not enjoy watching the games right now, but I do it anyway. I think it’s a bad habit.

We're all going to die!

Insanity:

Doing something the same thing over and over expecting different results.

by The Lodo Magic Man on May 7, 2008 7:02 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

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!

by Silverblood on May 7, 2008 7:02 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

Yes, those guys.

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.

We're all going to die!

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!

by Silverblood on May 7, 2008 7:03 PM MDT   0 recs

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

2nd base....anyone? Who hasn't played there yet? Holliday @ 2nd...Spillbourghs in LF

by Redhawk on May 7, 2008 7:04 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Oh look a strikeout,

and not by one of our guys with men on base.

Now, don't let things

get out of hand since you have two outs.

And he broke his belt. LOL

At least

he’s not pulling off a Steve Lyons.

Francis couldn't throw a strike to the Cardinals if you paid him

or held him up at gunpoint, and he used to absolutely own them.

Don't we play Francis

I kinda remember a big contract

I don’t recall for what, though.

AAAron Miles reaches again. 2 on with 2 outs.

thrown a first-pitch strike to anyone?

Jeff at 49 pitches through 2

He’ll be lucky to make it to the fifth at this rate. And then who do we pitch? ... GRILLI!

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.
