that Beane didnt press for a little better offer somewhere else. Seems very favorable for the Cubs to me

Lets hope not…

Any realistic chance we pull of a minor miracle tonight?

St. Holliday continues his hot streak. Pepto Bismol is standing by just in case.

First time in a long time that not only am I free to join the game thread, but also watch the game, and my roommates are using the TV. Curses, foiled again!

Day off?

Day-to-Day

O
M
G

Playing at 1st tonight, I thought. May be wrong

How is it possible that it looks too big on a 300 lb man?

FAIL

demonstrates that patience right on time

Gah.

already a hit

How soon until the Redman train derails? Predictions?

Predictions not needed

hits with two men on. This can mean only one thing.

just not going to cut it lol

vs. Sabathia?

I think Hurdle just wants C.C. to have a nice first start with the Brewers. “Just so they like him and all!”

Always a hit at parties…

Didnt Redman have 10 in the 1st against the Dodgers earlier this year?

I hate getting text messages that don’t have a “COL” before “run scored”

goal accomplished for redman

Let us all welcome Jayson Nix back into the lineup

I got the new Beck cd, and the new Batman Begins gift set today…

Beck cd = outstanding, and we all know how good Batman Begins was…

Is going to make my month great

talk about an easy inning

torre nix n Q

is not a good thing to do.

Did he get sent back to the Springs?

a CC sabathia homerun

I forgot Koshansky was the power hitter who K’s all the time currently sitting on the bench…

Unexpected.

what with the lineup of FAIL, and tomorrow is even worse. Rusch vs. Sheets? Good lordy lord. Sad that our only chance for a split rests on the suspect shoulders of JDLR.

that both Fielder and CC are playing for the same team.

Heaviest MLB roster?

His last start was terrible, meaning he is due. Right? I was at the game against the Indians and his 10 Ks were quite impressive. I almost have hope

Hit!

On both times tonight!

AND DOUBLE!?

[future prediction]

he was safe. (without looking at replay)

Not like I’m surprised or anything.

the only member of the lineup doing anything tonight?

That was a bad call. Rockies catch a break.

is making rickie weeks look like a batting champ

Because IBBs ALWAYS work.

to get Fielder to ground into a DP. Is it actually going to happen?

why give up a 2 run homer when you can make it a three run jack

Tulo would have made that play.

I doubt he could even win the Sausage Race…

does anyone know who’s pitching tomorrow? it says reynolds on mlb.com but i thought we sent him down

I’ve been a big fan of Rich ever since he came up in 2001, and I am extremely happy to see that he’s healthy this year…so far. However, I am NOT happy to see him go to the Cubs. I like him in Oakland. We don’t need to face him. At first glance it looks like the Cubs really won on this deal…Harden and Gaudin are two very good young pitchers.

No idea what he was thinking with this one. Harden signed through 2009, and this is all he can get?

but 3 easy outs coming up

Torrealba/Nix/Q coming up.

Never mind.

couldn’t have come up with a better package? What is the point of our OF surplus in the minors if we’re not going to get something productive for it.

Two on for the automatic groundout.

for Spilly?

That was lucky.

It’s still Nix/Q/Redman.

For Jayson Nix. GIDP. How predictable.

Nvm, thanks Nix.

really, REALLY sucks. I was hoping someone that can hit was coming up soon.

Kthxbai.

You have two outs. Don’t bunt. Or never mind. A groundout is basically the same thing.

And in place of WHO?

win games that way.

It’s almost funny in a very sad way.

has performed above expectations. 4-1 is a lot worse than I had imagined.

Wow. Just wow.

“Does Sabathia have as good a fast ball as Nolan Ryan?”

Now there’s a question all Rockies fans are dying to know the answer to. Must a slow night for the inbox.

as well give more attention to the book I’m reading, The Roots of Blitzkrieg: Hans von Seeckt and German Military Reform. Not that we should actually call it blitzkrieg.

random thoughts:

1. Nice to see the Monfort cheapfest is in full swing. Other teams are sucking up the pitching talent while the pitching thin Rocks continue with their Green recycling program. I see Wells in the DO and Redmon, JDLR, etc. Josh Towers just a call away. When are they ever going to invest to give us some interest.

2. Welcome back Nix to a place you don’t belong. Career fill guy. I know the feeling as I have been there.

3. How many fill guys are we going to take a look at this next week. Joe Koshanky, Nix, Stewart. I fill a Cory Sullivan move just around the corner.

Because after Spilly, there is no hope.

We have seen this before, but still I have hope…

C’mon Spilly!

we better get one at least although i’m not to confident we will

Spilly, that was really bad.

Now we get the horror of Torrealba/Nix/Q again. WHY, GOD, WHY?

But what’s wrong with Spilly?

NOT good.

I….. don’t even know what to say.

is hitting pretty unimaginable levels right now. And aghhh….. noooo… why Spilly, why?

he kept us in it

I repeat. I’m already disgusted at that news…. seriously. The injuries are getting ridiculous.

Errors are bad.

Atkins, Q, and…

Terrible questions tonight…

shutdown inning please?

Spilly would have scored if not for that injury…Spilly, Bake, Tulo, Todd…sheesh. Are you sure we have to have a team that holds together?

We are only 6 1/2 back…

Lets all remember the Cardinals team a few years ago. They won 83 and then the series, right?
