At least put off losing Rox Girl's bet with Jim until another day, Jeff & Co.
Go Rockies!

I think they interpreted the Rockpile thread as
“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” , which it kind of was. Taveras out of the leadoff spot is a start by our intrepid manager, but still sort of misses the point that you want to give the guys who have the highest out rates and Taveras qualifies fewer at bats than those who get on pretty reliably.
Strong first inning for Francis.

Willy puts down the bunt
and is safe!

Matty drives in Barmes!
More, please.

2-0
after Drew makes a bad throw while trying to complete the DP.

I'd rather
see Reynolds lose his glove while playing the field than see him double.

Francis hitting 90 mph with the fastball
Is a huge plus. This is making me quite relieved tonight despite the Reynolds double.
The curveball
sends Tracy back to the bench.

Stewie homers!
Off a lefty!

Wow, nice DP!

Quick thoughts as I drop in
I don’t know what they told Stewart, when they sent him down…but it worked. I’ve never seen that kind of progress in one year before.
Francis has some movement, and his fast ball has been around 90. His curve that struck out Tracy was the best he’s thrown all season. Lets pray his hick up this season was injury. Looks like it at the moment
I still love Tornadoughs
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
Lead off double
...........................................................

Yeah.., but you're right. Tornadoughs are great.
I would love some of that tasty goodness right now.
Don't let the fifth
be your undoing again, Jeff.

umm
he hit that ball like he knew it was coming, huh Crash?

Barmes goes deep!

See, that's what Brad Hawpe's problem was
Stewie and Barmes no that the best way to lead off an inning and not get stranded is just go all the way to begin with.
Willy inches closer with that SB.

Alright, they got one more...
But you know earlier in the season Reynolds would have gone yard the way things went when Francis pitched against AZ so, all told this is still definitely an upgrade.
Brown's homer may be all they need
Strasburg looks playstation good.
Grant Green's looking better all the time as a consolation prize
And I’m only saying that partially out of bias for that fine school he attends. He’d be as solid an answer for second base as we have.
Is he a better prospect than Ryan Jackson?
I want Alex White next myself.
And if we draft for need
Ackley has the look of a young Todd Helton…
White would be great, I'd take Green over Jackson, though
While his defense is better and will allow him to play short, I don’t think his offense is as legitimate with wood as Green’s is and I see Jackson becoming a solid contact, good glove guy whereas Grant’s got more of an impact bat that could be stuck anywhere in a lineup.
Double for Hawpe
Good start, let’s put em away now…
Groundout for Francis
Presumably he pitches better than he hits…
Quick question --
what happened to Todd Helton?
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
Do you mean a big "what happened" or a little "what happened"?
Age is the answer to the first one, it hits everybody I’m told, but the second one is some debilitating back pain.
Though
he originally complained of pain in his leg. A bad disc caused that, and then when he was taking swings and soft-tossing, the back started acting up again.

Randy Johnson
sympathizes.

The latter.
As in, “Why isn’t he playing tonight?”. The former would be a bit trollish on my part.

Bradley Bomber!
6-4!

Hey Brad
You are a very fine, very sexy man, and I would not mind having your children. Hope that’s not too weird.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Strike 3!
Keep yapping, Snyder. It won’t do you any good.

Uh,
Drew moves into scoring position. 6-5.

K!

So...
we’re walking Jackson to get to the best hitter.
So who’s due up for us?
Rockies win!

Rockies... win???
Wait a minute… I remember this feeling… it feels… good…
Jesus Christ on a unicycle Brian...
WHY do you insist on doing this? WHY? This team has taken almost everything out of me that I have to give, and trust me, that’s a lot. I couldn’t even watch most of this game since it’s just too painful.
And I write this as Fuentes just managed to get out of his little fustercluck and win the game. Never complete without a little suffering. Haren vs. Rusch tomorrow, let me break an ankle racing for the cheering section… but then again, we did beat Peavy. Whaddayaknow.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Nice job.
Good, hard-fought win, guys.
