Whooboy, while the debate over which side of Dan O'Dowd one must butter to be an acceptable member of society continues on the Purple Row senatorial floor, there is a game to be played tonight at which I think we can all agree on what outcome we want to see.

Go Rockies.

First!

And at the game. Once again posting via blackberry. Section 306L, row 1, seats 5,6.

Bobbleheads are great. Lots of people just showing up for them, then leaving.

Missed Rox taking BP, but saw plenty of Hanley jacking them to the concourse.

Enjoy the game all, if anything crazy happens, ill post again.

Just getting

the bobblehead and leaving? For shame.

Happens a lot.

I can't speak for everyone

But we usually go early and get the giveaway (Bobblehead, T-Shirt, etc) and then go for happy hour somewhere and come back for the first pitch. Just a thought.

May we agree

that said debate shall stay on said floor, and not spill over to the gallery (aka the Game Thread)? Thank you very, very much.

So after the fireworks of the last two games, do we expect another pre-humidor game tonight or something more sensible, like a 22 inning pitchers duel?

Put me out of my misery. Please!

I'll be

rooting for CDI to have 7 HRs to propel my fantasy team into first place…. I think can all agree on that.

If CDI hits 7 HRs

Drinks are on me!

Hurdle walked

in on Barmes and a woman.

Hurdle got pissed that Barmes refused to have a “Clint Party” with him once again.

What?

They were just going to play Twister. What’s so dirty about that?

Er.... hmm.... um...

I could make a great wisecrack here, but I think it’d be pushing the PG-13 climes of the board.

So you are saying that Clint and A Rod

hang out at “lifestyle” clubs together on the road?

A-Rod offered Barmes a go with Madonna

in exchange for his promise to get Holliday traded to the Yankees. Unfortunately, this wouldn’t work because Barmes is already making his own whoopee times without him. Because Barmes, after all, once worked at a one-hour photo and spent the first 48 minutes of each shift nailing the cute assistant.

Er, yeah, I think I should shut up.

We are all dead.

by Silverblood on Jul 5, 2008 5:46 PM MDT up 0 recs

At least Clint

doesn’t hang out with man-hookers.

Barmes, that is. Who knows with Hurdle? Maybe that’s where he gets his great ideas.

We are all dead.

by Silverblood on Jul 5, 2008 5:44 PM MDT up 0 recs

Hookers

are a no-no with the Rockies. Just ask Neagle.

Now, irrational man-love from one Clint to another? Fair game. Just be sure to clean up any stains in the clubhouse, guys.

by rosenthal on Jul 5, 2008 5:46 PM MDT up 0 recs

Like how the whole clubhouse reeked of champagne for the entirety of Rocktober?

Let's just put it this way, SB

Some stuff was sprayed, and some stuff was REALLY sprayed.

Ha! You were wrong!

But that’s just because I’m a capricious dictator that likes to keep people guessing.

I always knew

Dinger was a slut. Which brings me to my most recent theory: The guy in the Dinger costume is one of the guys who won’t usually be noticed if they’re missing. Say, Bucky.

I am not implying anything about Taylor’s character and/or preferences. Just sayin’, it’s easy to get away with stuff in that dinosaur suit.

I kinda expect the Marlins to come up with 17 more tonight.

Silver

Were you or Squeaky close to catching one of the HR last night?

All aboard the FAILboat.

by The Lodo Magic Man on Jul 5, 2008 6:15 PM MDT up 0 recs

Atkins's bomb

landed about 5 rows shy. This after Squeaky had just asked him to hit it to us, so he almost succeeded. I just remember looking at Iannetta and Spilly’s monster shots going well overhead and thinking, “Oh my. I think he got every seam of that one.”

The marlins hats

look particularly odd in the USAUSA! color scheme

I think the Toronto hats

are hysterical. I mean, what do Canadians celebrate on the Fourth? Had to make sure the Jays weren’t left out, I guess.

is celebrated on July 1.

I was in Calgary

some moons ago on the 4th, and I must say that the Canadians didn’t miss a chance to wish me a happy 4th. I was pleasantly surprised.

Put me out of my misery. Please!

by rockhead on Jul 5, 2008 6:26 PM MDT up 0 recs

Well

They are nice people, after all. And probably more cognizant of international goings-on than Americans…

Yeah

they have two holidays right by the 4th. Canucks are freaking awesome. I really want to live up there someday.

Nice catch by the Marlins 2B.

Spilly to 3rd.

Wouldn't that be a classic

An 18-17 old-fashioned pre-humidor win followed by a pitchers’ duel. I’m still pretty sure that everyone who remembered we have a humidor forgot after last night.
