Game #101: Stults vs. Wells

Los Angeles Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies


Kip Wells makes his return to the majors tonight, his first start since the second Opening Day and his first appearance since April 28. It goes without saying, but a good start in Wells' return would be huge. The Dodgers are 2-1 at Coors Field this season and 6-3 overall against the Rockies. It would be nice to see that at 6-6 after Wednesday's afternoon game (but I'm getting ahead of myself).

Let's see the Rockies get the better of Eric Stults tonight!

Go Rockies!

After the game:

Kip Wells’ quote: “Well, I didn’t make quality pitches, but I’m still good, so they should definitely keep me in the rotation. Because you all know I deserve to be a starter. So there.”

Valerio De Los Santos

He’s old at Colorado Springs, but serviceable? Would be screwy confusing with De La Rosa on the team, too.

Kip "What the hell?" Wells

I live out of market but hear from many sources outside of the Rockies community about how stocked the farm system is. Is there no one who can deliver a performance equal to that of Wells such as Baker?

Another question..why would Hurdle leave Wells in that long?

What’s with the fail theme. Is that an inside joke?

InToddwetrust

by InToddwetrust on Jul 21, 2008 7:57 PM MDT   0 recs

Can't answer the first question

But as to the other two…

Hurdle apparently operates on a different plane than the rest of the world. You’ve no doubt seen the term HurdleLogic here on the Row. It’s all we can figure.

As for the Fail theme…well, it’s not really an inside joke, just the general theme of this lost season. Much failure all around.

Put me out of my misery. Please!
