Bah Willy.

I want one of these unis. I don't care what you say, it looks awesome.

Willy nothing

if he swings at that pitch he’s being a poor hitter.

Embarrassing punch out for the man behind the plate, almost a foot wide.

makes a big statement on who is the everyday 2ndbaseman, and who is the utility guy

Yes, but let's not complicate things

Actually, I’m more baffled by the fact that we are trying to play as if we’re “in contention” yet refuse to put the best eight guys on the field at the same time to back our pitchers.

Rest or no, Stewart is a lefty that hurts lefties. We need a win, let’s play the best eight guys please.

I so don't mis Oklahoma in the summer time

at least here in Colorado, we don’t have the Humidity.

And speaking of humidity…..I did several jobs in Florida and Miami…...near the beach there was a breeze. One job was just in land where we had a little of that sea breeze…just enough to teese.

For a while we were doing great

early summer was filled with rain that slowed the temperature rise and kept the grass growing. Now it feels like weeks since rain and it’s starting to show.

I was from North Central area

as a kid (near Ponca City) and as soon as the Wheat got cut, and the fields got disked….around the end of July…it was just always shot up.

But Oklahoma summers are why I love Fall so much. That big rain, that came in the middle of September that would break the heat, was like a gift from God, that I so looked forward to.

The Marlins pitchers

really pound the strike zone, and especially the outside corner. Classic Braves.

It's much easier to pound the strike zone

if the strike zone is really wide.

Looks like the ump has a plane to catch today as well.

Is it just me

or does Olsen make Francis look like a fireballer? How come we can’t hit this guy? I mean, I know its on the road and everything, but still. 85 mph fastball with no discernable movement and these guys look like they’re facing Beckett.

Is there any way

Olsen is really sweating so much that the bill of his cap is actually dripping like that? He must be dunking it in water or something…still, kind of amusing. Certainly the Rockies aren’t working him very hard.

Well,

if this is going to be one of those offensive black hole type of games anyway, then we might as well repress our subjective feelings and accept the privilege of watching a no-hitter from start to finish.

OT: ERA

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Rockies, but one of my favorite players, Rich Harden – yes, I know he’s on the Cubs now, but I really can’t root against him (only his team). So, I know he has 100 innings on the year, and his ERA is better than anyone else in the league (2.04). But he doesn’t show up on the ERA leaders. Is that because he hasn’t pitched over 100 innings in the NL?

by Squeaky on Aug 3, 2008 1:53 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yep

When you switch leagues, your stats start over. That’s why Manny Ramirez currently has 1 home run.

OK

Ianneta is O-1, but with 3 BB….Yorvit would be 0-4 with 3Ks. Now, why can’t we get rid of Yorvit for good, that way Hurdle won’t be tempted to try to start him….so frustrating!

De Los Santos is out. Register is in for a couple of days to give the Rockies and extra arm. Then Francis comes in, and it’s assumed Register will go back down.

I mean of course Register will go down. Couldn’t put Herges on the DL to give him a break/rest or release Kip ‘bottom of the” Wells
