Colorado @ Kansas City
Oooh, Jorge De La Rosa faces his most recent former team. Will this be a case of former pitcher dominating his old team or the old team reigning supreme over the former pitcher? I'll go with the former and say this will be a felicitous victory for De La Rosa.
Go Rockies!

Congratulations on Silverblood's 10,000 posts
Since I have to work tonight I will probably end up missing most of the game. So here’s a little trophy in honor of Silver’s copious keyboard.
Welcome back Tulo!!

From the RMN's
A COUPLE Rockies players played a trick on manager Clint Hurdle and bench coach Jamie Quirk during batting practice, using tape to put up the No. 13 and No. 9 below the three numbers the Royals have retired, which are posted on the base of the scoreboard at Kauffman Stadium. The joke was on the Rockies players. Hurdle wears No. 13 now, but when he came up with the Royals he wore No. 10. That number is retired—in honor of the late Dick Hower, a former Royals manager. ``When he came over,’’ Hurdle said of Howser, ``(The clubhouse manager) told me Dick was very fond of No. 10. I was traded that winter.’‘

Can we just leave Clint and Jamie in KC?
They seem to be enjoying themselves

Actually
I don’t mind Jamie so much, actually I would like to see him get his a fair chance to manage one day…
In all honesty I have been praying that Quirk would do to Clint Hurdle what Clint did to Buddy Bell for quite some time now.

How long will Helton keeping batting fourth?
There seems to be no end in sight.
by alex colfax on Jun 24, 2008 5:50 PM MDT 0 recs
Can any one here
give me a good reason that Helton is batting clean up? Since when did good defense, and the ability to get a walk make a player a clean up hitter?

In
what may turn out to be a better game to watch, Georgia is up 3-0 in the first over Fresno State. Ryan Peisel started the game with a single.

Glad to see

The good the bad and the ugly
The Good: Spils over willy!
The Bad: Yorvit over Iannetta
The Ugly: The reaction of the very nice lady sitting next to me in sec 103 last night to the news of Jorge de la Rosa would be pitching tonight, “Oh my, he’s terrible“
