Probably can't have a worse first inning than last night's. . . .
Go Rockies!
Trying something out, so just click on the play button to be amazed . . . or disappointed.

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!
Put me out of my misery. Please!

But then

we should
cut him some slack, at least he’s making contact..that’s an improvement from earlier in the year
true, but
if U-Ball strikes out, Tulo is still at third with Stewie at first with 2 outs

Where was Hurdle's favorite call on that?

At least U-Ball's making contact?
"Keep your head down, and inch toward daylight." - Blade of Tyshalle
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
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
Remembering Dustin Mohr's glory years!
Excellent
Scoring runs and not letting the other guys do the same. What a concept.
Put me out of my misery. Please!
I like how
U-ball hasnt had his 1st inning struggles lately…it is nice!
Remembering Dustin Mohr's glory years!
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…..
Maybe
Dominguez really wants another year of college.

Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
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.
Damn, what a crappy time for my internet connection to stop.

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… :)
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 * .
Tulo doesn't get a hit...
I for one am shocked.

Well, to me he is.
He’s been dreamy since the 3 June 2003.
"Keep your head down, and inch toward daylight." - Blade of Tyshalle
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Yeah, but
I wasn’t around when the Rockies made the selection so I don’t have the hour, minutes, and seconds. Probably between 1:10 ET and 1:30 ET. Um, yeah, maybe that goes a bit too far.

if his recent torrid streak carries over to the road. Since he is a 2008 Colorado Rockie, the answer is likely no.

No rookie pitch count
They let him up around 110 last outing if I recall correctly so he isn’t on a draconian pitch count like he was last year or most young guys are.

I love it, but this season has traumatized me to the point where I’m just looking at the upcoming road trip and wondering whether they will be able to maintain even fraction of this.
This season is really screwing me up.

Amazing game.
Rusch tomorrow. I’m sure we’re all thinking roughly the same thing.
He won't be so bad?
"Keep your head down, and inch toward daylight." - Blade of Tyshalle
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Surprising
He has been surprisingly good in both of his starts.
Which means...
He’s due for a stinker!
Just trying to be realistic. Rusch’s career record vs. the Dodgers is 0-5/14.21.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
But he's also
due for a win against the Dodgers, right?

Awesome game
Dominating performance by Ubaldo.
Great to finally see him be able to maintain his focus and his control deep into a game and be able to close it out.
I love the current line-up offensively.
Any word on Chacin
in tonight’s game. He was dominating through 5 and faced the minimum and is now out of the game. I hope the Rox are just taking care of their prized posession. I hope he is not injured in any way. Maybe he is on his way up, I wish. Nelson hit a HR tonight also.
Pitch count
Looks like they kept him on a pretty strict pitch count, according to modestonuts.com
I hope he is in Tulsa soon I want to see him pitch
Thats good news
especially since we have had so many injuries this year to some pretty big name prospects, I was hoping to hear that.
I was hoping he would jump right to Colorado Springs, so I could see him, but thats not going to happen.
That would work too
It would give me an excuse to take a little vacation to my hometown!
