Big Pelf vs. the G-Rey. Big Pelf has one win in his last four starts, and he got that in what was his worst start over that stretch of starts. He allowed six runs in six innings to those Angels from wherever they hail.
The G-Rey also picked up a win in his lasting outing after allowing one run in six innings. He struck out four and walked none.
The G-Rey should be powerful enough to stop Big Pelf today; however, the G-Rey has been known to malfunction from time to time. But, hey, it's not as if Big Pelf always comes up big on the mound.
Go Rockies!

OT:
Columbia sent me two huge packets of stuff to read and figure out before the fall…it’s extremely overwhelming.
So in between reading it, I’ve been checking MLB.com constantly to see if the Rockies lineup is up yet. Stupid game needs to start sooner.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
Yeah, something like that
Pretty much everything can relate to the Rockies. With some imagination.

I suggest
the best partying dorm. You’re not going to remember things like ‘calculus’ or ‘geography’ when you graduate. But you will remember doing that keg stand with the hot guy (or girl) watching.
Then again, you probably care more about your studies than I did (evidenced by the fact that you’re going to a school that likely doesn’t have to work to keep accreditation).
Last night I had a dream that I was Jeff Baker
and in this dream, I was able to fly.
True story.
We are all dead.
He'll fly around
the base paths today.

Okay the game can start now.
Random note: reading Amazin’ Avenue, the Mets SBN blog, and McCovey Chronicles whenever these teams play the Rox really shows how ridiculously little anyone knows about the Rockies and Coors Field.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
Of course not
We’re not on the East Coast, in the case of the Mets, so why should they know anything about us? In the Giants’ fans case, they can be excused by ignorance. (Hey, they root for the Gnats).
Examples?

Just the whole Coors Field hitting deal
Sure, it is a hitter’s ballpark, but there’s this whole “humidor” thing that everyone either doesn’t know about, doesn’t care, or ignores. And the fact that close games can happen at Coors and people can learn to pitch well there is something that just goes in one ear and out the other.
And in general, the Rockies must suck, so it’s ridiculous whenever they win and/or someone gets a hit and/or our pitcher does well. I guess that’s kind of a true statement, but only we’re allowed to say that, right?
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
If the Mets fans need a team
that sucks, I suggest they look no farther than their own.
And I say this as someone who even kind of likes the Mets.
We are all dead.
Coors
is still the best hitter’s park in the game. It’s just no longer the greatest hitter’s park of all-time.
Another
game with a leadoff triple by Reyes.

I am a fan of G-Rey
He seems to have all the pieces, just needs a little time to put them together (as can be expected from a 22-year-old kid, Tulo notwithstanding).

He allowed a lot of flyballs at the game I atttended two starts ago..
But he didn’t have his socks pulled up for that game. I think his greatness is in direct correlation with the height of his socks.
