Evidently

They sell a Chipper Jones wine down here.

No word on whether or not the stockboy pulled a hamstring while shelving the bottles.

Leadoff triple.

Just the way to start.

Is Barmes back up?

This Baker/Barmes thing is a conundrum.

Jeff Baker

didn’t get picked off. The pickoff throw got Jeff Baker.

I hope

the board is dead because everyone is at the game. Last Rockies home game I watched was embarrassing to see the stands.

Jimenez got a hit!

His first of the season. Hell just froze over.

Taveras...

Worst leadoff hitter ever?

More fail.

Bigtime.

We are all dead.

I don't know.

It’s not as if the Rockies had the bases loaded each inning and failed to put a man across home plate.

"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe

by rosenthal on Jun 21, 2008 7:16 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

2-1

Back-to-back first -pitch HRs from Atkins and Hawpe. Which means Tulo will swing at the first one, too.

We are all dead.

I'll believe it

when his average tops .220

by rosenthal on Jun 21, 2008 7:19 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

He ripped one last night

that Chavez robbed him of, and one just as hard, but right at Wright. He’s got a long, long way to go, but I see signs of progress.

We are all dead.

U-Ball

with another hit. Who turned his fail switch off?

Hell. Freezing. Over.

Uball with infield hit.

Reyes

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

I am stunned

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

Jeff Baker

is a god walking amongst mere mortals. He has a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo.

Come on guys…. Hop aboard the bandwagon.

Is it just me

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.

by holly96 on Jun 21, 2008 7:30 PM MDT   0 recs

INCONCEIVABLE!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have to say

That was probably the best inning of baseball (top and bottom) that the Rox have played all year.

U-ball

showing the potential we always knew was there. Also hitting, for some reason.

Jeff Baker doesn't take batting practice..

He takes moonshot practice. The upper deck shudders everytime Jeff Baker swings the bat.

Anything witty

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.
