by mkorpal on Apr 18, 2009 9:28 PM MDT Comment 81 comments

What is up everyone. It's time to make your week three predictions. Usual rules apply. pick winning team, final score, and winning pitcher for each game from Monday through Sunday. 1 point for winning team, 2 points for winning pitcher, and three points for final score. Also, add a crazy prediction for the week for 5 bonus points.

Here is next weeks schedule http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/schedule?team=col

I'll update standings sometime tomorrow after the game. Get your predictions in by game time Monday.

Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

What I meant, of course, in my crazy prediction...

is that there will be saves involved in all of the Rockies games this week.

...and so far, there have been saves in all five games this week.

Only one by the Rockies though.

Weds: 6-0 Dbacks, WP Haren
Fri: 3-2 Rox, WP Troncoso

Two crazy predictions?

Fri: 3-2 Rox, WP Troncoso

So you’re predicting that the Rockies will trade for Ramon Troncoso, and that he will get the victory against his former team on Friday?

Also, they’ll be back at home, where they should suck slightly less hard.

Marquis is no Timmy, but he could end up with better years than Mullet and Dirty. But his start is about as sustainable as both our offenses’ epic suckiness

Yea – I was the only other one that picked the bad guys to win. Although I still wish i’d been wrong.
On another note – I really enjoyed the game I went to at the BOB last week – although it has kind of an interesting feel to the stadium – feels like you’re in an arena, although they opened the roof and the windows. The beer was EXPENSIVE.

BOB/Chase

is a LOT nicer when the roof and windows are open. (Although, obviously, they’ve got some pretty durned good reasons to keep ’em closed, when they do) Beer IS expensive, although the food has gotten cheaper.

Which game did you attend?

And yeah, that crazy flag lady has been there pretty much as long as I can remember. There was a point in the game last night when the Rockies had a couple runners on base, and then a jet flew over. We were convinced that she was trying to call in an airstrike via semaphore.

I went to the Cards game last Monday (4/13). Davis tossed a heck of a game, but lost. Even though he’s a DBack, I really find myself rooting for him to do well with all the went through.
My uncle and about 15 guys split seasons, 6 seats about 4 rows down from the top right behind home plate. We took my grandpa who spent his childhood years selling popcorn at Cardinals games in St. Louis.
My aunt said that she rarely sees the windows open, I assume it’s kind of at the discretion of the SP?
$10.50 for a 22oz beer was rather ridiculous, but had a good time nonetheless. Sad to see how empty it was though – I hope they can turn the attendance around a little bit.

I'm not entirely sure who decides the environmental conditions.

I know when Schilling was here, he used to whine about how the ball carried more with the roof open, but I don’t know that they necessarily responded by closing it everytime he pitched.

The only thing that’s going to increase attendance, IMO, is success.

Crazier prediction than DbacksSkins: Haren throws a nine inning no-hitter, but the Rockies get the run when an errant Mark Reynolds throw allows Dex to get to second, he’s sacrificed to third and scores on a passed ball.

to both you and mkorpal, but I will also be at the game on 4/26, and the Rockies are winless in games that I am in attendance at dating back to 8/20/05 when they beat the Cubbies 4-2. Since then…

3/28/07 (ST): Rox 4, Cubs 4
9/8/07: Rox 1, Padres 3
4/4/08: Rox 1, D’Backs 8
4/5/08: Rox 2, D’Backs 7
5/3/08: Rox 7, Dodgers 12
6/16/08: Rox 1, Braves 7
4/11/09: Rox 4, Phillies 8

For those keeping score (har) at home, I haven’t seen the Rockies win in person in 7 games and nearly 4 years.

I suppose

one could pick a position player to be the WP of a game.

…in fact that might be a good crazy prediction

man if it weren't for the craz prediction I would be at 8

Woot!

It’s mostly because of that stupid bases-loaded walk, though.

And I really wish my leading score included more winning (although I’ve predicted it).

Benches will clear in the Dodgers series.

So there’s going to be a rain delay & all the players will go into the clubhouse?

No, round about the 3rd out in the top of the 9th

Yes, I said top of the 9th. Everyone will leave the dugout area and go home.

Listen, this signature line is a big part of who I am.

You have two kinda crazy predictions

No bullpen wins. Still, that probably improves your odds more than arbitrarily selecting Kuo or Corpas or something

Gimme a healthy Buchholz

and I’ll give you some bullpen wins.

and I do realize I have not picked the Rockies to lose a series. that’s why the no fantasy football for me. can’t stand the cheering for/against myself.
