What I meant to say...
Is that my brain is kind of fried right now, so I sort of mailed this game thread in.
First!
Sitting at the game right now, Tulo bobblehead in hand.
Section U332, row 19, seats 11,12. 10 dollar king soopers tickets baby!
Go Rox! Posting from blackberry, may chime in later!
Wow, we don't usually have people live-blogging.
Enjoy the game, say hi to Silverblood and Squeaky and AtkinsandTuloFan

Iannetta!!!
I won’t even say it, we’re all thinking the same thing right now.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Wow.
I got up for less than five minutes and I missed a bunch of awesome stuff.
No doubters
Both of those home-runs were no doubters.
Nice to get Reynolds some early run support
Hopefully it will give him a confidence boost and he can try and lock up his first win of his career.

A break in our favor
Let’s see a double play here and limit the damage.

Even better
A weak flyout, and now a double play to end the inning would be nice.

For a pitcher advertised as a sinkerballer
Greg seems to throw a lot of pitches up in the zone.
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
He's not really a sinkerballer...
I don’t know why he calls it that, and a certain newspaper believes him, but he doesn’t have a traditional sinking two-seam. He gets success from staying on top of his pitches to get a lot of downward tilt regardless of which pitch he throws, but they don’t have a lot of break. As long as he can keep that angle and keep them low, they should generate a lot more GO than FO, but it also means he’s got a lot less margin for error and we’ve seen that.
Saying that, I see too many fans taking the opposite view that he’ll never have success with this, which simply isn’t true, either. He’s just got to learn his hitters and be more precise, which when he’s on his A game, is something that comes rather easily for him.
Let's not give anymore back.

Double play
Wish it would have come on the previous play, but I’m not complaining.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Reynolds doubles!
First hit of his career. Now all we need is his first career win.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Reynolds
with a double for his first career hit!

Ugh
Bad luck.

And then
the DP. Boo!

Well struck
by Stewart, but . . .

Much better inning
A few more of those and we’ll be all set.

Brad Hawpe up again with wunners on
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Atkins got lucky on that one.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Brad does the
complete opposite this time around.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Reynolds
has been solid so far.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
It's not often you see a guy give up five in the first
And then have only seventy pitches thrown by the end of the fourth. We really aren’t doing a very good job of pushing Bush out of the game.
Well I guess we didn't have to,
Thank you Ned Yost. Although I have to admit that it’s sort of brilliant strategy putting one of our own out at the head of the firing line. I still say we pull the trigger.
Did everybody hear about Jeremy Bonderman?
Apparently he has Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, similar to Aaron Cook and will be out 12-14 months. I do hope he recovers fully.
Nice play Stewart!
Score remains 5-2.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Nice play
by Stewart.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Seriously, Willy, that
was bad.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Stewart!!!
Homer (apparently)!
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
That was . . .
a homer for Stewart!
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Third deck blast
from Stewart!
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Another live post!
I was the only person in my section who cheered on contact. Didn’t see the flight of the ball, and I don’t think many other people did either. Just saw the initial flight and knew it was a complete bomb. Didn’t show the replay here because Yost came out of the dugout.
Turn two.
Nice to see those.

Hammering balls
All three of those homeruns have been absolutely crushed.
greg has been solidly efficient
2 runs in six isn’t bad
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Greg hits hart
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Oh my god JDLR is coming in
Get your gloves out, folks sitting in the outfield
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
That's it for Greg.
Three cheers for Reynolds!
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Why bring in JDLR when Hall hits lefties
at a 370 clip?
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Reynolds has only thrown 73 pitches
and because he hits one guy, we bring in this dude?
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
I must say that I'm enjoying this mini power renaissance
from the offense. And Holliday is coming back soon, and Tulo and Barmes too. This team could really mash after the all star break. Too bad we are 15 games under.
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
do not want
Julian Taveras
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Seriously though
They wanted Hynick for him? I propose a ban on dealing with Epstein until further notice.
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
That's what I've said for awhile now...
It’s clear he’s not going to deal unless he feels he’s victorious. Getting equal exchanges from him is probably a no go.
But there's nothing
wrong with wanting to be victorious. Do I have to come up with a “Clausewitz on Baseball Trading?”
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Are you proposing total war on Red Sox Nation?
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Not at the moment.
Don’t have the resources for a battle of annihilation at the moment.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
I'd be fine with that...
Go ahead and come up with a Clausewitz on tearing down the Green Monsters..,
Anyway, absolutely there's nothing wrong with wanting victory
But we don’t have to battle with Epstein save maybe once or twice a season, so it’s best to let his ambitions in the trade arena be used against somebody else.
I'm hoping for a WS rematch with all fibers of my being
maybe not this year, but sometime. Red Sox “fans” (since 2004) who act like you are lucky that the mighty Sox even showed up to play in your city absolutely kill me.
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Willy goes down. Again.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Speaking of players named Tavaras we do not want.
I assume Willy T’s running out of chances.
So Frankie
not looking so hot down in the Springs tonight
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Seriously
Prince is going to be a DH in what, 3 years?
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Walking Hawpe
to get to Iannetta.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Ianneta
what more can he do to get this job?
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Jeez...
I’m already mad about Yorvit starting tomorrow.
Iannetta
using the bat, unlike someone else.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Time for Bucky the Lemur
to end this one.
And cheap tacos tomorrow for anyone who wants them.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
has Quintanilla seen a second pitch tonight?
He’s been muy aggressive for somebody without a pedigree of hitting well.
Question
if we traded Fuentes, is Bucky the closer, or does Hurdle try to use someone with a bigger fastball?
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Of course as I post that
Bucky hits 93 on the gun repeatedly…which seems fine to me.
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Rockies win!
Rockies win!
Glad Silverblood witnessed a victory in her first trip back to Coors in 10 months.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
That
was awesome. Three homers (including a Hawpe salami since I was wearing my lucky Brad shirt) a CDI start (and two RBIs, including a monster homer) Greg Reynolds posting his first major league W, a Buckysighting, a Tulo bobblehead, and a brief (and very amusing) shoutdown with a Raiders fan as I was leaving the park. Generally a wonderful night.
We are all dead.
You mean
faiders fan.
"Nuts!" - Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
It was a wonderful night
for my first game of the year too. Got my Tulo bobblehead, and I had my lucky Iannetta t-shirt on, he actually played and of course played well. The guy that I have always been excited about w/ Stewie hits a huge HR. I won the argument w/ some Brewers fans around me, since its easy to win when your team wins. Also Holliday went 4-4 w/ the Sky Sox, so it is getting a little more exciting.
And now I am watching the game again after my long drive back to the Springs. Can’t wait to see the Stewie HR again. This is fun.
Awesome game..
.....had great seats, my Hebrew National hot dog was snappy, my Tulo bobblehead was a-bobbling, AND the Rockies win! Should’ve bought Lotto tickets. Hawpe’s inconsistence aside – he has one of the sweetest swings in baseball (thanks, no doubt to Ron Stilanovich)

Miami vs Arizona on ESPN right now
The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season
Quite wonderful
to see a little “power ball” tonight. Can’t expect it every night, of course, but maybe Brad’s recent outburst will wear off on a certain left fielder named Matt Holliday when he returns. CDI simply continues to impress. One of these days, even Hurdle will wake up and smell the very strong coffee.
4 in a row now. Mayhaps we’re on our way back to respectability.
Blame the Red Sox!
