PrintRockies 6, Mariners 3
Todd Helton continued to show his back is healthy by belting out three more hits in three plate appearances before being replaced by pinch runner Christian Colonel after a fourth inning RBI double. Colonel stayed on and continued the perfect night for Rockies first basemen, collecting two more hits. Garrett Atkins went two for three and Ryan Spilborghs hit a first inning solo homerun and added an RBI groundout as part of the three run fourth for the Rockies.
Starter Franklin Morales pitched an effective five innings in high winds and chilly temperatures, limiting the Mariners to seven hits and two walks and four Rockies relievers, Jason Grilli, Glendon Rusch, Huston Street and Damian Moss continued what's now a 9 1/3 inning scoreless streak with four solid innings pitched after Morales left.
THE BIG QUESTION: Will Morales continue his roll next Wednesday in Arizona?
The smaller question: Can I go to bed now?
Wrap Rating: Maybe Mariner Endy Chavez could have used one of these to help him in the wind tonight.

Totally unimportant question
When you do the roll call, do you have to go through the thread and note everyone who posted, or is there a handy dandy admin tool that lets you see everyone who’s posted in a thread?
(I’ve been wondering this for days.)
A snakepitter of all people created a code that does it for us
We just enter the URL and voila, a list is produced.
Thanks
I was wondering that as well

I just made a note of everyone who posts...but no longer!
Also, I like the exclamation point after my name.
Eschew Obfuscation!
We used to have to do that.
Then snakecharmer wrote up a program that does it automatically.

Don’t you love West Coast Time ball games? They aren’t that bad time wise (here).

Which game are you attending today?
I went to the Angels-6 Padres-5 game last night. Cabrera came in as a pinch-hitter and walked, then stole second. He looks fast on the basepaths. Big Vlad was jammed on an inside pitch and cranked it into the left-field seats. Before the start of the bottom of the 1st he was warming up with the ballgirl in RF. I’ve never seen a player throwing with the ballboy/girl, usually it’s the CF or someone from the bullpen. Fuentes didn’t make an appearance, someone named Bulger recorded the save.
