If it's any consolation, Rox fans,

after today, our players can officially schedule golf games with each other for this October.

Sorry

I mean that I’m sorry for you that you’re guys are eliminated, cause that’s always a pisser. Also, I mean sorry in regards to the season that wasn’t. How do the two top teams in the NL West 2007 wind up out of the running in so short a time? Thank God college hoops aren’t that far off.

It's all so sad, isn't it? Really, really sad.

Eh....

don’t really wanna talk about it.

Mark Reynolds leads the majors in errors and strikeouts. That's a good thing, right??

I wonder how active

the game threads during the playoffs will be.

by rockhead on Sep 25, 2008 9:10 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah,

but this USC team is much better than that one that went down 23-0 to OSU two years ago before losing. You knew they were gonna come back, and they already are. I would guess the final score is something like 31-24, Troy. They’ve already scored 14 straight.

Yeah.

Right now they need a turnover to definitively reverse Oregon State’s momentum.

The Brewers TV guy sounded like

he was having a party in his pants when he made the call. And then Braun-e-Braun did the untucking jersey thing that he does, but hey. I like the Brewers. I could live with them in the postseason.

Fireworks

Can you guys see or here fireworks on tv? I’m at work again, and there are fireworks going off outside for some unknown reason (they’re really nearby and echoing off the buildings). I couldn’t figure out what was going on at first.

mentioned the fireworks going off, but I don’t believe they said why they were going off.

I think I may take a trip to Phoenix this weekend. I think one of the teams may let me take a crack at the bat. I still can hit 90 MPH heat.

Your ahead of the curve, then...

But they’ll only let you play if you lack fundamentals, you know? How are you at screwing up on the basepaths and not hitting the cutoff?

by Rox Girl on Sep 25, 2008 10:03 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

If he can strike out a lot

and can’t play defense, then he could play for us. Or if he’s just a reliever that sucks.

Notice how relaxed

the Rocks are the last few days and their play has improved. I think a managerial change is order. They seemed too tight and self focused all year. I think the newspaper spin is starting for a change that may beon the horizon.

by PinchHitLancePainter on Sep 25, 2008 10:17 PM MDT   0 recs

I think you could be right...

I’ve been trying to keep quiet on the subject but there are a couple of signs that there might be some rearrangement of the coaching furniture this offseason.

by Rox Girl on Sep 25, 2008 10:22 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Dare we hope that Dealin' Dan

is acquiring a clue that his coaching staff, and particularly his manager, is fail? It must be a painful process.

this appears to be a minimum:

Apodaca Gone. The Morales and Francis implosions are at his feet.
Cockrell Gone: He has been tuned out all season.

And then once you get through those, what's stopping the team from

going a different direction one more step above? After Yost got the axe, the consensus choice for least effective in game manager seems to have fallen to our guy.
