We were going to go,
but it looks like rain, and the idea of a million, tightly-packed umbrella-wielding New Yorkers changed our minds. (My wife and I can’t seem to get used to the terrible umbrella etiquette around here.) Maybe next year.

3-run homer.
Good for Treanor and the Marlins, not for the Rockies.

Well, happy 4th anyway!
Just finishing up some ribs, corn on the cob, baked beans, and watermelon. What do I find on the TV? A 3-run homer, putting our Rox down five. And Francis isn’t even pitching. Seeeeesh. Oh well. If G-Rey can settle down, we can work our way back into this thing.
Put me out of my misery. Please!

Well this is getting ugly...
very glad that I attended yesterday’s fireworks game instead of today’s. I do feel bad for Silverblood, Squeaky, and the others who are at this one. Those of us watching it don’t have it easy either. 11-4. I know we really have to use the bullpen in this game, but I still feel it was too long for Bowers to be in there.

Taking odds
Which position player are we going to see throw the ninth for the Rockies tonight? (Seriously, this feels like the kind of night – game out of reach, bullpen already taxed – where we’d see such a thing).
My money’s on Koshansky.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.

Wouldn't surprise me
if it was Koshansky. Did well on the mound for the Cavaliers also.

True...
This is with the assumption that one pitcher pitches a clean inning…maybe Koshansky will come in and surprise us with one.

Hurdle
doesn’t believe in that as he’s stated on many occasions. We’ll see if he changes his mind or wastes his bullpen.

There’s one back. Maybe it’s because I don’t have much else to do tonight, but I for one haven’t given up on this game yet.

We got one back,
but the Marlins will score five more.

I shall try again
I was trying to say that Spilly’s most recent homer looked identical to Atty’s in the play-in game 10-1-07. Hit a seat and bounced back onto the field. At least this umping crew got the call right.
