De La Rosa Groin (Aka the day the season died)

by PinchHitLancePainter on Oct 8, 2009 9:08 AM MDT

Sadly I think the season imploded the four inning on Sat night in Dodger Stadium. The point when De La Rosa left the game. I fear the division was lost at that point, homefield, you name it. I think that will likely be the defining moment of the season in retrospect. De La Rosa injury robbed us of our best pitcher down the stretch and a key lefty to offset the Phillies in a short series. I hope the team can rally but the hill is very steep at this point.

No way that's the defining moment in a season...

…where the Rockies had basically no chance to make the playoffs according to the pundits.

Other than that, I agree – it severely hurt the team’s chances of advancing in the postseason. But, like the old saying goes – that’s why they play the games.

Just an average guy with exceptional hair. Nothing more, nothing less.

The defining moment of 2009

You don't have to admit that, though

I like to think our defining moment still awaits....

unless this is limited to the regular season.

Dear Rockies - Thank you for proving John Kruk is a pertinacious nincompoop.

Huge win yesterday

and Philly invested so many assets into it. I think they fear the cold weather and remember 2007 when they nary made a dent here in the single game. Manual went all in yesterday and got seriously burned. I know Charlie from ML days and he is a good guy and that was definately out of character for him.
