Lineup

Baker is back, that’s good. Though why is Nix in there? I’d rather see Q at one of the infield positions. Oh well. At least we don’t have both Nix and Koshansky.

Well

I’ll be here for most of the game thread, though my participation will be sporadic due to a certain bonus weekend on a particular video game which I am frequenting while watching the Rox game. In short, you won’t have to deal with me too much tonight =p

Ollie gets

the Rockies to go down 1-2-3. Your turn to do that to the Mets, Cook.

All right! Out of the inning!

Now time for the bats to come alive these next few innings. Despite Perez being a lefty, I predict and hope Hawpe will come out of his slump at least somewhat tonight.

Gotta be optimistic...

I think we will get Perez the second time through, though like Tulo2 said. I know Atty has a homer against him.

naturally, two inches from catching a ball and ending the inning, turns into a double cause we cant hang on to the baseball

Barmes seemed cautious of the knee...

particularly since his injury involved Reyes. At least we have 2 outs, just get out of the inning Cookie!

Ask

Joe Koshansky that question. But at least Koshansky has a couple of dingers. Nix has a fat lot heaping plate of FAIL.

I have no idea

but .118 is jaw-dropping. I thought he’d at least be within binoculars-distance of respectability, but I underestimated his “slump”.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Jul 11, 2008 6:27 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Um

Nix has zero plate discipline. And the amount of K’s we have racked up the past few games is just embarrassing.

But hey. At least we’re not being no-hit.

Please indulge an old Rockies fan...

Can you take a picture of the area where Dante’s first HR was hit? And if you have time scratch off a section of paint and send it in a jar to my house!!

Game tomorrow

If it were me, it wouldn’t even be a question. I get so few opportunities to see the Rockies in person, I would go even if things were worse.

Have to admire the Rockies

just setting themselves up as the sacrificial lamb that gets the “Suddenly Streaking” Mets in the first 15 minute block on SportsCenter.

What a selfless team we are.

Yep, me too

I still can picture him when he was around 12 or 13, wearing a baseball bat tie to church. Little did anyone know then that he was a future Cy Young winner and likely hall of famer.

NICE

Nix up to bat with bases loaded. Clutch hitting and one of the worst hitters in the Majors. WHAT A COMBINATION.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Jul 11, 2008 7:43 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Argh

They keep walking our best hitters, and then the next guy gets out anyway. I’d would rather Hawpe have tried to get a hit it there, even if it ends up being an out, rather than take a walk and leave it to Nix.

by holly96 on Jul 11, 2008 7:43 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

See

I knew that would happen. The Mets might as well have intentionally walked Hawpe.

Never say never...

just one of those guys gets on and we can get to holliday in the lineup. He hurt Wagner before and can do it again.

So, the

last two games Aaron Cook pitched at Shea ended up 2-1 victories for the Mets. And Damion Easley had a homer in each one.

Or Chaz Roe

who just completed a complete game shutout in 106 pitches, striking out seven, walking one.

Roe has been pretty good in AA. He’s only had one bad outing, one below average one, several good, and now one outstanding one. I’d like to see more K’s, but he’s orking deep into games with pitch efficiency, so i can’t complain too much.
