Game #116: Francis vs Bergmann

Washington @ Colorado
I'm not exactly sure why the Nationals feel better off with a Francis/Bergmann, Perez/Jimenez card today than the way things were originally scheduled, but that's the way it appears. At any rate, the Rockies need to start showing they're up to a chase in earnest, and a home doubleheader sweep would be a strong play in that regard.
Go Rockies!

No TV is bugging me
The 1p.m. game wasn’t scheduled for TV in the first place, but you would think FSN could pick up the second game for TV. What if that second game of the Dodger DH on Sept. 18 last year hadn’t been televised? Fans at home watching live would have missed one of the great moments in Rockies history—the Helton 2-out, 2-strike walkoff homer for victory.

Awesome lucksackery
Just got handed two free tickets in section 137, and about to play hooky from work. And wearing a CR purple golf shirt, to boot. Have fun on the Purple Row, and let’s take two.

Stewart at 3rd
even though it’s because of “playing the numbers”, it’s good to see. Let’s hope he gets to start tonight as well. His D behind U-Ball will help a lot.

I say
in honor of the Olympics, rather than extra innings today, any tie game after 9 is decided by a 100 yard dash between Taveras and Bonifacio.

So has Zimmerman just really sucked this year?
His rookie year was really impressive, I think he topped 100 rbis that year. Has he been injured?

Milledge does the little fake bunt thing with a 3-0 count, I used to do that in little league.
I like less his monstrous HR swing.

I think its fair to say that Francis’ return was hardly triumphant. Pretty terrible, actually, after a solid start. If Milledge is squaring him up like this, imagine what ManRam is going to do.
