Game #75: Jimenez vs Martinez

Just the way to start.

using the oxygen tank early on after the Mets get the quick lead.

His first of the season. Hell just froze over.

Bigtime.

Garrett ties the game!

That was a long time in coming.

gives the Rockies the lead!

Doing something besides failing on first pitches!

hits a double to the gap.

I swear, he’s coming around. He is.

Uball with infield hit.

can’t make a throw, so Jimenez gets his second hit. Strange.

drives in Tulo. Getting stranger by the moment.

Someone hit Willy T’s fail switch off during the previous innings as well.

Another run!

The birthday boy having a good time. Again. According to Hurdle’s MO, he now needs to pull Jeff.

This is a great inning.

Matt!

has deserted him. Hehe.

The game started an hour early than I expected. Good thing I didn’t miss this inning.

or is this inning going unbelievably well. I mean, Ubaldo, Taveras, and Tulo all got hits. That’s inconceivable the way things had been going this year.

Why is Helton batting cleanup? Wait, I know the answer. Because your manager is Clint Hurdle.

does not own a house. He walks into random houses and people move.

On the bright side, 3-3 for Uball would really have had me looking for the brimstone.

is eluding me tonight. A week teaching at circus camp and two hours working on the aerial fabric (think cirque du soleil aerial kind of stuff, expect in two minute bytes – I’m working on a piece) and I am EXHAUSTED. I’m just happy the Rox are winning, because I don’t have the energy to deal with exciting/stressful games.

He keeps getting ahead 0-2 of Nixon and then walking him.

He’s hitting .258 in the month of June.

35 on the year.

I don’t think it’s possible to catch him right now.

Willy Taveras can steal second base yesterday.

Can bend the space time continuum, turning strikes into balls and giving Willy only 20’ to steal second.

He waits.

The first-pitch out.

I wonder how this will turn out.

a cup of tea and the Rockies winning. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Tacos tomorrow, right?

Hungh? Helton… not fail?

Who does he think he is, Jeff Baker?

And what have you done with my Rockies?

Brilliant effort. Nice to see us back him up with runs.

A little too much of vintage suck Tulo right there. Still, he’s been coming around, so I’ll forgive him.

the Mets would like to trade straight up for Fuentes.

CDI never argues about anything and he argued that one.

Random note: I discovered his old college email address today. Wonder if he still checks it. (Somehow I doubt it).

to make this one a 7-6 final.

The Viz is just wasting oxygen.

Why do we have the 7.5 million tied up in this guy instead of, you know, signing draft picks?

Time to face Big Pelf tomorrow.

Damion Easley comes up. I think Russ will have a seizure if that happens.

3. Troy Glaus hit a grandslam in Fenway park to give St Louis a 8-0 lead.
2. Went swimming with my kids in the inflateable backyard pool.
1. Rockies clicked tonite scoring 7 runs and defeating a New York team to gain ground on the dBacks.

sleeping late (very important after being up at 6am for work for most of the past few weeks) reading a book, eating a lot of popsicles, watching the college baseball games (Georgia vs. Stanford and the first 6 innings of UNC vs. FSU) and watching the Rockies NOT fail. Not to mention finding out Spilly’s college email address and making Jeff Baker jokes. Huzzah.

of cutting some hedges earlier today and cut straight through the extension cord I was using. Turned out to be a $37 hedge cutting. But the Rockies won!

“Vizcaino needs to pay carbon points for taking up space on the planet.”

After a couple of stops for liquid refreshment, I’m just getting home from the game. I was a very late addition to a group of friends who had a last minute drop out. Missed the first two innings, but otherwise it was a great night at Coors. I seemed to be seated next to a prophet. Everything this woman said proved to be true. It got to be freaky when she told me (as we were heading into the bottom of the 5th) “Now we feast. We’ll get 6 off Pedro this at bat.” I’m NOT kidding you. Weird. Later, I heard at least 10 people yell “Tacos!” when the 7th run came across. U-ball was impressive. Good to see him finding his groove again.

Reading thru the thread, I was guffawing over the Jeff Baker stuff. Hi-freakin’-larious. Great job Purple Rowers. Truly inspired blogging!

Now, we need a win tomorrow to capture our 6th straight series win! Let’s go Rox!
