Tuesday Rockpile:
Will it be a September to remember? Or how about a "Rocktember?" Davie Krieger's not really buying into the "Rocktember" thing, but he offers one or two positives to be taken from the season if the Rockies wind up doing their own thing in October instead of playing ball.
If Jorge De La Rosa can turn it around, as he continued to demonstrate yesterday, then maybe, just maybe. . . .
News and notes from Tracy Ringolsby:
- Call-ups: Dexter Fowler already, and to include Edwin Bellroin, Oscar Villarreal, Jason Hirsh, and Joe Koshansky
- Torrealba will have surgery on Wednesday.
So, yeah, Hirsh will finally make it back to the bigs this year, but the big story to follow from the call-ups is Dexter Fowler. Is the future now?

Now the job is to figure out his number.
I must get a Fowler t-shirt jersey.

I would wait...
Until next year, cause you never know with those things. Wouldn’t you hate to own a #14 Tulowitzki jersey?

I'd almost prefer it
because it means you knew before everyone else.
But your point is well made.

Im going to get two, if that's what has to happen.
Either way, count me in tonight and tomorrow, I’ve been obsessed with this kid.

Coincidentally enough
According to Gameday, Fowler is wearing #14.
Purple Row's resident entertaining pessimistic asshole. Somehow the incarnation of crusty goo. Is this a good thing? Who knows.

Cardinals
effing Cardinals, not holding on to a lead against the Snakes.
As of a few days ago, the Rockies had the 2nd easiest remaining schedule in MLB. Let’s at least make a mad dash toward .500. We do play 6 of the final 9 games against the Diamondbacks, so if we can be within striking distance at that point, anything can happen.
I need to grab Fowler in my keeper league.

I can't believe...
I didn’t know that Spilly was coming back yesterday. Seriously.
That’s all I have to say right now…oh, and I’m really happy they’re OFF the west coast. :)

How early do we find out starting line ups?
I’m downtown right now, my last class is over at 6:45, but I’d like to know my plans for right after class early.
I’m so there if Fowler is starting.

I am there
no matter what. But it would make my night if he’s starting. I am preparing for a little disappointment considering the jump in competition, and also Lincecum facing Hernandez, but its still fun to be at Coors.

Hmm.
I have gameday + can check PR on my phone, so I’ll be watching closely. With how excited the management has been about Fowler, there’s probably a decent chance that he’ll start tonight, even though nothing on the Rox website has anything about him coming up.

Yahoo posts them around an hour b4 gametime
I’ll check around 5:30. Can’t go tonight (wedding anniversary), but we went yesterday, and I may try to go tomorrow.
I agree with SmokinRox re tonight. A win’s gonna be flat out tough, and I’m counting on taking 2 of 3 in the series, but tonight would be a fun one to attend.
How can you tell your wife is a Rockies fan? When she gives you a Jeff Francis-autographed ball as an anniversary present.
