Sounds

loud and clear. It would be interesting to hear chats with some of the Purple Rowers.

Disappointed!

I’m sure it’s a setting on my computer, but I don’t have a play button. I just see a black bar.

I can never do anything right. I’m a bad person. Bad.

Bad!

If you're running

a script blocker that’d be the likely answer as to why you see a black bar.

No runs given up in the first!

That, at least, is a good start. Now let’s swing some wood!

we should

cut him some slack, at least he’s making contact..that’s an improvement from earlier in the year

by 4thturn on Jul 22, 2008 7:37 PM MDT   0 recs

true, but

if U-Ball strikes out, Tulo is still at third with Stewie at first with 2 outs

Taking a nap

it is only 1-0, Hurdle doesnt want to muck this game up yet

somehow,

I don’t think you’re going to see an intentional strikeout in that situation

Isnt that

what sending U-Ball to the play kinda is?

At least U-Ball's making contact?

We discussed this

if U-ball is up with two outs, anything goes…make contact or K
If one out, with runners on…intentional K, therefore no more DPs

is really just total dog poo as a hitter.

Yes,

But I’ll take his rebirth as a real pitcher in the trade off. Cookies are hard to come by.

Excellent

Scoring runs and not letting the other guys do the same. What a concept.

.050

now, a nice round number

U-ball hasnt had his 1st inning struggles lately…it is nice!

Massey

Awesome that the FSN crew realized the importance of this signing and got him in the booth.

I missed all but the very end of the appearance – anything interesting that I missed out on?

I am guessing that Massey qualifies as one of the corner outfield power bats that OhNo is always begging for the Rockies to add.

Has anyone heard any details on why the Rockies decided to pony up for Massey? I fear that he may have just taken Dominguez’s money…..

by MADness on Jul 22, 2008 8:06 PM MDT   0 recs

Maybe

Dominguez really wants another year of college.

Splurging

I would really love to hear that he just happened to be signable and so the Rockies signed him.

That would really cheer me up.

I don’t see Dominguez signing but hopefully they can sign someone else with the money that they had slotted for him.

by MADness on Jul 22, 2008 8:17 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

fair trade off?

after 3 1/2
U-ball 0 for 2
LA 1 for 13

was that

Yorvit?

by 4thturn on Jul 22, 2008 8:18 PM MDT   0 recs

From bases loaded, none out

to three outs, inning over, no runs scored… in three pitches.

Off Topic - Checking in with a Question

Keeping up with the Rockies on my cellphone, since the roommates have commandeered the television…for now…

Anyway, I’m hard at work on the August schedule wallpaper (no homework and bored), and since he’s the admin currently here, I have a question for Russ (or, I suppose, anyone else in the know) . Does a larger version of the real pretty Purple Row artwork up there in the upper-left corner exist? It’d sure come in handy… :)

by oo_nrb on Jul 22, 2008 8:23 PM MDT   0 recs

I'm not sure.

My gut tells me no, but I may be able to get you a more definitive answer tomorrow.

If you could find out,

that’d be awesome. I suppose you should email me with what you find out, so as to not take up valuable comment space here or in tomorrow’s Rockpile : ooo (dot) nrb (at) gmail (dot) com . Thanks!

Wish I was able to watch the game, sounds like UBall is turning in a good day’s work so far * knocks on wood * .
