ow dammit this sounds like it hurts:

They lost pitcher Hiroki Kuroda to a herniated disk in his neck.

"Every hitter likes fastballs just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's how you feel when Ubaldo is throwing fastballs by you."

this sounds more funny than painful:

Also, Jason Marquis has a bit of a shiner under his right eye. He got hit during the on-field celebration.

Today feels like a must-win

Here’s my question: how many times have we won the NL West?

I think it’s one. I really need to learn more about Rockies history. It might be time for me to jump off the band-wagon and on to the true-fan-wagon
