See, this is why I hate interleague play and the DH
We have Scott Podsednik. They have Gary Sheffield. NL teams don’t build their lineups to have a DH.

We have Hurdle......
who puts Pods into the lineup instead of Spilborghs. Is there any way to justify this?

Spilly
The last time Spilly was a DH he stunk up the joint (I think he was actually starting in the game he did well in more recently). That’s not to say he’s not a better option than Pods on any given day, but perhaps Hurdle is remembering that? I don’t know.

Whoa, nelly!
I just opened up Gameday and it’s a new version, with 3D! I’m not sure what to do with myself. I can’t wait to see what it looks like once the game actually starts.

It's been awhile
since the Rockies played a game with a decent start time.

Speak for yourself!
Heh. It’s 4pm and I’m still at work for at least another 1-1/2 hours. I quite prefer the West coast start times, so I’m actually at home for the whole game rather than following the first couple innings at work, missing the whole middle while I commute home, than catching the last couple innings when I get home.

Rox Girl lives in Vermont
And I live in Tennessee. So we hate the west coast start times.

Right
I would hate them, too, if I were out east. But since of course it’s all about me, I hate the early evening start times. ;-)

Yeah, but
Sunday’s game starts at 10 a.m. for you. I’d love to watch baseball at 10 in the morning.

Sundays
It’s only slightly better than a noon (my time) start time on Sunday, but not by much. I have church on Sundays at noon and don’t get home until after 3, so normally I miss Sunday games entirely. But at least with the 10am, I can follow it for the bit of time in between my shower and when I leave.

he has decided to douse the pitchers’ mound with gasoline, and then start playing with matches.

Someone say gasoline?
No one doused that Comerica Park mound more than Jason Grilli. If he comes into the game, you might see fire.

No worries..
more than likely they will get it back and it will be another 7 innings or more before we get another. Rockies baseball continues to make me jaded.

The Willy and Pods experiment.....
at the top of the order was a bust, as expected. 1 for 8 and no runs scored.
Could this manager, or this team, be any more uninspired than they’ve been this season?
