PrintCincinnati Reds at Colorado Rockies, Aug 24, 2008 1:05 PM MDT
The Rockies try to win their third straight series, and get some traction for finishing August on a high note. Of course, a loss today would mean the fourth consecutive home losing series, so there's plenty of fodder for the glass half empty side to chew on as well. This will be another statement game for Jimenez, where he can establish himself as a top young pitcher over a talented peer. It should be a good pitching matchup to watch.
Go Rockies!

Cueto
I really like Cueto.
He has obviously struggled a little bit but I sure love his arm and like him as a prospect. Fun to root for (though not today).
Let's go Ubaldo!

Both the broadcast gun
and gameday have him there, so I’m assuming that’s not an error.
Affeldt consistently hitting 98 mph!
I thought he might occasionally have touched 96 mph with us.
maybe both readings are high
Corpas is consistently 94 mph, about two ticks higher than he normally sits.
Corpas! Ks the side!

You know what
I bet Hurdle’s rationale for not PHing Smith for Taveras was that he wanted to use him here, next inning. Instead of, you know, TRYING TO WIN THE GAME THERE.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Well duh...
You’ve gotta play for the tie at home silly.
You know you want to check out Matt's Korea blog: http://koreamatt.wordpress.com
Why not play for the tie everywhere?
It’s called lulling your opponents into complacency via your aspiration to mediocrity. Brilliant strategy. I think Hurdle should write a thesis on it.
It has its merits
No question. As soon as I can figure out exactly what those are, I’ll send them to Hurdle.
Better then the flaming pile of dog poo I was intending to send.

You were right
But I do not think anyone saw it coming from Q.
Almost to the point of not giving a flying fart....
No. Shit.
Omar. Stinking. Quintanilla walkoff homer?
NO. WAY.
Almost to the point of not giving a flying fart....
OMG OMAR IS THE HERO!

Ha ha
I swear to God, I’m sitting here on my couch and I thought, “Wouldn’t it be funny if Omar ended…”
CRACK.
And hey, I was right. It is funny. Attababy, Omar.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.
I still think it would be funnier
if it ended on a walkoff error, but I ain’t complaining.

I did not just see that....
I want one of these unis. I don't care what you say, it looks awesome.

Quintanilla! Ha!
Anti-Nix. No, at home he’s been pretty good for us. This isn’t that big of a surprise.
Any time Q hits a homer
it’s a big surprise. That is his second career jack in 427 ABs.
Almost to the point of not giving a flying fart....
It's all relative
This isn’t that big a surprise as compared to, say, Ubaldo Jimenez doing the same thing.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.
Now if that happened
I would be on the lookout for flying swine and brimstone.

Q must have known it was your birthday....
The Rockies just wanted to give you a birthday surprise lol!

By causing me to rip out all my hair first?
Whatever, guys. But hey, a win is a win.

One of those suprise parties...
where the guest of honor suspects something, but is in no way actually prepared for what’s going to happen.

I can't believe it!
I listened to almost the whole game, then the radio broadcast was interrupted for a tornado warning and I missed Q’s homer! Grr. At least we won.
Hey guys
Something to look forward to on August 27 — Livan vs. Lincecum!
Almost to the point of not giving a flying fart....
We're seriously
going to send that bum back out there….yet again?!!?
this team is utter rubbish...

Perhaps we can plan a Lincecum kidnapping for that night...
And yes, Livan is remaining in the rotation.
