in Rockies Game Threads
Email
PrintToday's one of the days we've been looking forward to for months now: the first Cactus League game! The Rockies face their NL West division rival, the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2008, the Rockies won three of 18 games against the Snakes after taking 10 of 18 in 2007. We still have some time until the Rockies and the Diamondbacks play each other in games that matter, but for now baseball's back!
Today's starters are:
Also expected to pitch for the Rockies are Ubaldo Jimenez, Manny Corpas, Alan Embree, Juan Morillo, Jason Grilli, and Ryan Mattheus.

true fans that really get into the games. Don’t get me wrong I love going to ST, but sometimes I wish the fans there would get more into the games. Yes, it is just spring training, but then again to us it is SPRING TRAINING!!!!

Huh, what?

Wait, so like a scale?
So he can schedule all his dumb decisions for one day, so we can expect to lose that game, and another day, he promises not to do anything dumb so we can expect to win?
Blast and botheration.
Who knows what's going on in that man's head.
I think he was just trying to relate to technology, makes me think of the Ted Stevens/Hurdle question posted recently.

We're a tough crowd here at PR.
Hurdle might be scared of the intertubez with good reason.

This is legit

Oh, I know it's legit
I’m just saying, in the future, we know how to straighten out any headcases. Have ’em get a Junior post haste and problem solved.
Blast and botheration.
Maturity.
Happened with Valverde, too.

Class time...
That’s right, Rockies. Just go ahead and schedule the first spring training game on my craziest day of the week. No, I don’t mind at all.
There are a lot of
called third strikes by the Rox Today.

So instead of flailing at first pitches (last year's strategy)
under the Baylor Strategy we’re now taking so many that we all look like Willy T?
Hmm.
Blast and botheration.
Let's just make sure those going to class....

I wouldn't worry too much yet
The first Spring game probably isn’t the best predictor of the regular season.
A couple outs, more please!

I hereby nominate
that when anyone asks what the “D” in “CDI” stands for, we tell them that it stands for Dreamy, which is actually Iannetta’s middle name.
