Apparently we missed it

but Darin Holcomb was named the Sally League MVP.

After the Rox

sweep the LADs the DBacks will be back in the running.

by 4thturn on Sep 12, 2008 7:28 PM MDT reply actions  

I realize

most of the nails are in the coffin, but wouldn’t anyone out there enjoy messing up the LADs playoff chances? There’s no way that I want to see Manny in the Series.

And besides, isn’t it bad enough that Arizona is stuck with the Cardinals? I mean do they even have cardinals in Arizona?

Ack,

Nomar doubles.

Todd!

As much as having him in the lineup probably wouldn’t have made any difference and we were probably better off with Atkins/Stewart, I still find myself happy to see him in there again. Result of that at bat notwithstanding.

by holly96 on Sep 12, 2008 9:02 PM MDT reply actions  

I agree

Always good to see him. It’s one of those internal heart vs. head battles that plays out constantly with me.

by Rox Girl on Sep 12, 2008 9:08 PM MDT up reply actions  

Todd

I was shocked to see him step up to the plate. Clearly, I had not heard the news that he was activated. Shame he looked so rusty.

Colorado Rockies Activated first baseman Todd Helton from the 60-day disabled list; designated pitcher Pedro Strop for assignment.

Manny's long single

makes it just that much harder to come back.

I was so happy

that Boston dumped Manny. I was so happy that he was 3000 miles away…then I realized that the Rox were going to have to face him…

by 4thturn on Sep 12, 2008 9:21 PM MDT reply actions  

I only hope it's for a few games

I’m keeping a very close eye on that situation this winter.

by Rox Girl on Sep 12, 2008 9:25 PM MDT up reply actions  

the Yankees

will sell their first born to get him

We don't really know...

where our next taco is coming from.

by Since1993 on Sep 12, 2008 10:32 PM MDT reply actions  

What are these things you call tacos?

Are they somehow related to these mythical beasts I’ve heard called “wins”?
