Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
I'll be the guy in a orange shirt EVERY Monday...Broncos are my team win or lose.
I'm sooo excited and sooooo nervous!!

I know you guys are probably all at work and not happy about the start time.....
but in the UK it means the games today and tomorrow start at 7:30 pm (I watch on mlb.tv), just about the perfect time, and it means I don’t have to turn up to work tomorrow having no sleep, as so often happened during the regular season
Go Rockies!!!
Glad it's working out well for you.
I’m stuck with Gameday at the office, but I’m glad this is primetime for some Row-bots!

Good, innit, bluemoon :) except...
My gf has very kindly said I can watch it tonight round hers, bless her. She knows how important it is to me. And it’ll be nice to get cuddles when we lose. Tomorrow night I have choir practice, so I’ll only get to see the last inning or two.

it Says Be that Ball est. 1993 SO it is a cheap shirt, except that it cost 20$ because i bought it at coors during a 4th of july game when it was pouring 3 years ago, ahh memories
I have a shirt like that,
It says “Baseball with an Altitude” and I wear it only to do serious house/yard work now.

You know what, today, no French jokes.
But now I’m hungry because the crisp vs. chip thing got me thinking about the fish and chips at Patrick Carrols. Actually served with chips, not fries. And they get just a touch of sogginess from lemon juice and malt vinegar. People might think soggy and thing gross, but they are fan-durn-tastic.

Question about the snow in Colorado
Is it usually really powdery because of the low humidity or is it that heavy wet snow we usually get in New England that’s almost impossible to move and will cancel the game?

Lee allows more fly balls than Ubaldo today and any game postponed in Denver allows the Rockies to throw Ubaldo and Cookie twice.

Good luck against those rotten Phillies! Go ahead and beat them in what’s going to be their last appearance in the playoffs (at least as NL East champions) for many years to come.

I have a lunch dilemma.
It’s only 11 here, and I don’t normally go out and get lunch until 1, so getting lunch in time for 1st pitch is really early. But if I don’t go now, I’ll likely miss part of an inning, even though most stuff is really close.
But I won’t be able to last until after the game.
Boo, early start time!
Lunch is the ultimate price. Fortunately, catching the Rockies in round one of the Divisional Playoffs is worth it.

Woo.
I’m starting to feel better. I think maybe some runs would really help.

If they're going to pop up, it's a good day for it.
Reminds me on the spring training game I watched against the Mariners.

Horrible call

YOU ARE NOT FAST

PS
You were safe, but maybe don’t try it next time with Uball on deck.

HE wa SAFE
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
In a game where everyone fails about 70% of the time, I don't think every single out can be considered "fail."
Not to say there wasn’t a bad base running decision in that inning.
hawpe and barmes’ fail was not moving the runner over, yorvit’s fail was trying to advance to third with two outs on a shallow pop fly.
Yorvit was safe, so where's the fail?
Other than on the umpire?
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I know, I'm just saying.
And maybe it’s more a general statement than applied to your post or that situation, but hate when posters declare “FAIL” on every out.
You seem to be finding all the bad here today

Our baserunning has not been overly impressive this year.
I think we’re too aggressive for our own good.
I think he was called out on principle
Why go in that situation.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Cause the sp is up next
with the phillies early trouble with d a bunt might have worked
why if he was safe?
being on 3rd with Jiminez hitting is the smart play.
he was safe by 50 miles
not his fault
"There are only two important things in life: baseball and breathing. But at least you can survive without breathing for 3 minutes."
www.soundclick.com/hollidayrain
BUT
It doesn’t matter if he was safe. You don’t go there unless you are sure it won’t even be close. And it was close. Close enough for the ump to miss the call. NEVER make the first or last out at third!
It's cool....Baldo will just hit a HR to make up for it.

YES!!!!! fm1043thefan's stream just came on
u can hear the radio stream for free there
it wouldnt be illegal on our end
its the radio’s stream
Which they're not supposed to be streaming, that's my point.
So it’s basically a pirated stream, even if it’s the radio station’s fault.
I have hangups about that kind of thing, so it may just be me.
all we need is one big inning, if ubaldo keeps this up

Hmmm....Torrey caught a baserunner.
Torrey seems to want to prove he deserves his place on the diamond.
Observations
Why is Jerry Meals a play off ump? (I said the same thing last year.)
It was the perfect opportunity for the purple jerseys.
Chris Berman should not be calling games.
TBS neither.
I still hate the Phillies.
