Game #35: Cook vs. Peavy
Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres, May 9, 2008 8:05 PM MDT
One. Two. Three? With Cook on the mound, it might just be so. Probably an easier time without Peavy on the mound, but he is. Nothing like a little adversity to overcome in getting a third straight win.
Go Rockies!

Torrealba finally starting,
But he does really well against Peavy and Iannetta could probably use the rest so it shouldn’t be a surprise. Let’s not have this one go 22, I want to get to bed early tonight.
I don't
know who to blame more: the Mets or the weather. Silverblood and I had tickets for today’s Mets game against the Reds. It’s been raining all day, but the Mets were convinced they could get the game in. About 3:30 ET, the weather forecast said the heavy rain would end by game time. It did, but it picked back up a short time later. The game wasn’t postponed until close to 8:30.
Split-admission double header tomorrow.

I can't believe they didn't call it earlier
its been pouring pretty much all day, and I just got drenched on the walk home from the subway
We did
get to watch David Weathers and his son play catch. The kid has a good arm.

I don't know why I associate this with Weathers,
But the one clear memory I have of him pitching was when Eric Byrnes debuted for us. Jorge Piedra homered off him in the ninth inning, Byrnes struck out between the Piedra homer and an Atkins double and then Luis Gonzalez K’d to end it 4-3. Eric went zero for four that day, as he would often in his brief time with the Rockies.
What? What? Byrnes struck out? I’m shocked and stunned.

Don't forget
Wright and somebody throwing the football around (Wright has a nice spiral) and John Maine’s rain dances.

Heh last time I went to a mets game
was sitting in the first base boxes, and when Wright was warming up there were like 100+ girls screaming at him. He’s like the Paul McCartney of the Mets.
Wright fangirls are crazy
I’ve been to several Mets games at Shea this year (they’re my low-quality replacement for my Rockies) and seriously, it’s insane.
We're all going to die!
I'm fired up for this one
The fridge is full of adult beverages and I’ve got my coffee pot ready if this thing goes 22 again.
YAY!
No Edmonds. He was released
Die-hard Rockies fan. On the bandwagon since 7/6/93. Not giving up my seat. EVER!
A different situation than usual for Cook
He doesn’t have to stop a losing streak this time, he gets the opportunity instead to extend a small winning streak.
If Cook is on top of his game like he has been all season, this should be a great pitching matchup. Hopefully we can scratch a few runs off Peavy and Cook can continue to be dominant.

Aaaaaand
the Pirates get a walk of single from Freddie Sanchez. Which means extra innings will be showing the beginning of the Rockies game. Excellent. By the way Snell finally pitched a good game in this one.
Not sure if anyone caught Webb's interview on First Take this morning
He said that the guy he’d least want to face with a man on second and two outs is Brad Hawpe.

Peavy hasn't beaten the Rockies since Sept 2005
Hard to believe, but thinking back it doesn’t seem like he’s beat us for a while. Let’s keep it that way.

Argh...
I can’t even beat up on Yorvit tonight because Hurdle’s finally been starting the right guy and it’s about time to give Chris a rest after 4 straight.
Boy...great to have Torrealba back again, isn't it?
Anyway, what has Iannetta done lately…just asking.
Another good play by Q.

by The Lodo Magic Man on May 9, 2008 8:33 PM MDT reply actions
Honestly Iannetta is exciting to me
I think he might (hopefully) be the first above replacement level MLB catcher the Rockies have ever developed.
Seven years
after O’Dowd traded Bard and Gerut to Cleveland for the immortal Jacob Cruz, they both end up on the Padres.
I know..,
This is kind of a historical occasion, cruelly mocking us with one of our worst trades ever. At least Cleveland didn’t get much from them either.
I meant for them...
Actually Cleveland got quite a bit from them, next to the zilch we got from Cruz, and that’s why the trade was bad.
I'm mocking O'Dowd, no one else...
As an ASU alum, I liked Cruz fine as a college player. But then Todd Hollandsworth got hurt and O’Dowd brought in a leftfielder every week that summer. Cruz might have been the worst position player in Rox history…and that’s no exaggeration if you ever saw him play.
What made it even worse is that O’Dowd (and Josh Byrnes) had come here from Cleveland and presumably had a good line of Indians prospects. Apparently not, as it turned out.

I guess I understand Hurdle giving Netta the night off...
Even though I am a huge Netta fan.However, why didn’t he hit Barmes above Yorvit? Also heard on another board from someone listening to the radio that surprise, surprise Hurdle still considers Torre the #1 catcher.

I'm guessing it's just lip service, actually
Torre’s still the #1 catcher who will happen to play less than the #2, but I’m guessing Hurdle’s hoping the title placates his veteran.
This is definitely
what we are all hoping for, but what with Hurdle’s Yorvi-love, you never know.
We're all going to die!
That's scary
Hope everyone is alright.

He made a diving catch a couple of years back that just blew my mind. Landed in a full body slam – jumped up- and threw out a guy at third. I agree he’s washed up, but I’ll never forget that play.

I remember
the time he ran into the wall full speed and knocked himself out….but he held on to the ball (I think he was still with the Angels)
Anyone seen Jeff Baker? Has he called in?
I think you're right
Say what you will about the guy now, but the man could play. I feel kinda bad for him now.

This guy is good.

Bucky
with the Petco special 3 fly ball out inning.
Bucky
One of the game’s best set up men? Maybe not yet, but he’s on his way there.

Nice inning Bucky
ok offense, get some insurance runs
Specifically…..3 (I could live on cheap tacos all summer)

Willy keeps on running wild!
15 steals now, and he’s only been caught once. Now if he could only get on base more often…

Stealing First
has always been an issue with most speedsters
Anyone seen Jeff Baker? Has he called in?
But Willies OBP
this year hasn’t been ….encouraging at all
Anyone seen Jeff Baker? Has he called in?
Michael Bourn leads the league in steals
(got his 16th tonight), but he’s hitting under .200.
There’s gotta be some stat on how many a player has to steal to make up for a low OBP.
There is a bright side to the '08 season.
Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens are out of baseball.
Time to close this one out.

Man, it sucks to be old
You guys won’t believe this, but I am just now getting the Sailor Moon reference. Gad. The worst part is that I’ve been trying to figure out who Greene looks like. Geesssshhhh.

Sailor Moon
My daughter calls him “Sandra” because she thinks he looks like a girl.

I cann't hear the name "Sandra" with out thinking of one of the best looking girls of all time:
Sandra Dee:

Fuentes, that is one of the reasons you lost the closer job last year pal

Okay, you guys
get one off Fuentes. But that’s all.

Pay attention
Was looking at this on Gameday when I realized, DUH. I can get this game on TV.

Ballgame!
This one is a Rockies winner!!

Rox can pick up a game on all other NL West teams tonight. That’s a good result.
There is a bright side to the '08 season.
Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens are out of baseball.
And suddenly...
this team is fun to watch again.
was just thinking the same thing

I don't know.
I found all the losing to be fun also. Seriously.

Okay, well...
Fun and not stressful then?
we kind of own Peavy
now if only we can restore our previous ownage of Brandon Webb
Good start to the roadtrip
Hopefully we can keep it going!

3 straight
and this team is suddenly “reborn”
I KNEW tulo was the problem! (kidding, I kid, I’m a kidder)
Anyone seen Jeff Baker? Has he called in?
Q for the All Star team
Write it in.
There is a bright side to the '08 season.
Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens are out of baseball.
I called it
When we were 12-21, I said we’d go on a 15-6 run, similar to last May, to get to 27-27
Every day is a Holliday!
Woh woh woh.
Woh. Woh. “Called it?” Called what? We still got 12 games to win for that to be true, so hold on before the Rox decide to “call” the next game in if you catch my drift. Just, woh.
Time to wind down a pleasant night....
with the soothing sound of Vin Scully and an LA loss.
Speaking of which...
friggin Kaz.
Got that one on TV here in Texas
Furcal is hurt.
Jeff Kent played a ground ball like it was a land mine.
Derek Lowe looked awful.
But fair warning: the Stros 3 pitchers in this series were Moehler (who did 5 shutout innings, somehow), Sampson (ERA above 7) and S. Chacon. When Shacon’s your best starter in a 3-game series, it looks like trouble, but Game 1’s going very well.
There is a bright side to the '08 season.
Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens are out of baseball.
and the good news keeps on Rollin
Red Sox lose too.
Has nothing to do with the Rockies….I just hate the Sawk.
Anyone seen Jeff Baker? Has he called in?
I was happy about the Twins win as well..
It’s always awesome to beat the Sox and the Twins led most of the game 5-2, only to lose the lead for awhile and get it back! Good news all around!
