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.

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.

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

by Tom (RFTN) on Jul 4, 2008 9:16 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
Gilli has been mostly good, and Corpas has been good in his first inning of late. And even with the others, 17 runs is a little more than anyone could expect. But really, like I said, in this game it doesn’t seem to matter what pitcher either team throws out there. It’s a good thing we have the last at bat.

What a pleasant surprise
Left to go watch a fireworks show & it was 13-4.
Came back & thought, “I’ll just check XM. Maybe the Rockies rallied.”
Yes indeed.
2 shutout innings from Taylor & we’ve got this one. Willy T will lead off and score, I predict.
There is a bright side to the '08 season.

Would he do the same if the score were 1-0?

Well that was a nice clean inning
Now for a couple of runs & a real pitcher
There is a bright side to the '08 season.

Manny did well...
to get out of that jam. I do think he is making progress, even though it still wasn’t the greatest idea to bring him in for a second inning.

Q
the hesitation cost you the base. Just run, damnit.

If Spilly ties this with his third HR
does he get a starting job?

Can't say that
What if Reynolds had only given up 4 in the first? With this many runs scored tonight, the IBB (which is/was baffling) isn’t the culprit.
Put me out of my misery. Please!

I do wish however...
that Hawpe could have gotten on base one or two times, because that really might have made the difference.

Oh lord...

Just finished watching
the Women’s 100m freestyle finals of the swimming trials. If a 41-year-old can make the Olympics, the Rockies can win this.

Just out of curiosity
is Koshansky in the dugout?
I don’t know if the Skysox were on the road or in Colo. Springs.

Woo!
Baseball Tonight just started and they’re practically doing live play-by-play. I saw the Atkins single moments after he hit it.
Both time ever both teams have scored at least 16 runs in one game at Coors.

She may do another 10,000 posts when she gets to her computer
That would be about 600 per run scored tonight.

I don’t know any of you guys and I want to high five and hug each and every one of you. Don’t you just love this game?

I know you usually stay away from game threads. I, for one, appreciate your insights and knowledge and wish you’d join in more frequently.
Put me out of my misery. Please!

Thanks
I really do appreciate that. Mostly I’m just not around a computer for the game threads, but I’ve got my reasons for not actively participating stemming from a few I was a part of last year. I certainly appreciate the sentiment though – and hey, a few more Ws like this one and I’ll be around every night!

Awesome game
I was at this July 4th game back in 1995 (my dad scored us six free seats about 10 rows behind 3rd base). That night, the fireworks after the game were the highlight for me. Today, sure, I’m not there, but definitely the opposite.
by holly96 on Jul 4, 2008 10:13 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Ditto Franchise26....
This is why I love baseball. I never feel like any sport ever compares to this game.

Back around 1981...
The Denver Bears scored nine runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat Iowa something like 15-14 in a July 4 fireworks game before 50,000 at Mile High. Jim Cox hit a 3-run homer to win it. That was an all-timer until tonight.

this, I have a post-game thread up. Head on over there.
