The Rockies go for number 12 tonight, and perhaps more importantly, look to get back to .500 for the year, when they face the defending American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays (winners of five in a row, themselves). Jorge De La Rosa will try to right the ship at home, where he is 0-4 with a 6.67 ERA in 2009.

Go......
Rockies. I really want to see them keep it going. I hope that folks understand that I’m not a “traitor” however it is a long season. Of course I hope that the Rays get to the WS again but not at the Rockies expense.

Well, seeing as how Helton, Hawpe, Stew would be LLL, I think tossing one R in there is warranted.
by Greg Stanwood on Jun 16, 2009 5:43 PM MDT up reply actions
Yup, didn't mean to sound like I was criticizing the choice
When Iannetta’s bat is going again, I wouldn’t mind him moving higher in the lineup.
Weather?
What’s the weather like in Denver? I’m in Bldr Cty and see those clouds rolling in. Hopefully they’ve already made their way through Denver (or are light) and there will be no delay.
Unlike earlier in the week...
… there is not a lot of weather activity. The game will be cloudy, and maybe cool, but no rain is expected.
by Greg Stanwood on Jun 16, 2009 5:42 PM MDT up reply actions
Or, more specifically, no storm activity.
There is some light rain in the area.

So apparently DLR is the latin Scott Kazmir?
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Pretty much...

Come on guys...
…let’s get to the 9 spot so we can PH for DLR, rather than having to think about pulling Fogg after a short one…
Through 2 innings.....
DLR’s pitch count as a nice efficient 50. :)
My favorite Rockie? Why, Ty Van Burkleo, of course!
Y'know what's cool?
I actually believe the Rockies can come back and win this game. Haven’t felt that way about this team since the leaves were falling off the trees on ’07.
If Fogg can restore order, we can come right on back and keep the streak alive.
My favorite Rockie? Why, Ty Van Burkleo, of course!
3 weeks ago....
I wouldn’t feel too certain about winning the game is we were the ones up 5-0. The world’s tilted since then.

you can’t use those two starts to say he’s good. You have to look at the body of work, which is universally bad. And he’s been in the majors 6 years now, I think we can stop talking about his “upside.”
by Narcoleptico on Jun 16, 2009 7:43 PM MDT up reply actions
It's not universally bad. See above
In normalizing defense and park factors, he’s pitched well enough for a 3.66 ERA, which, if it were his actual ERA, would put him in contention for the best mark in franchise history.

From reading one of the links in the Rockpile this morning
it sounds like the problem was identified, and since then he’s been back to his usual self.
Yep...he's been VERY good in 5 of his last 8 starts since the start of May
but he was atrocious in April and with the full body of work, he’s been terrible. He’ll catch up to someone else on the staff by the end of the year I’m sure

No, Kapler.
Please don’t ask.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
No, keep asking.
"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."
Fair enough.

He's so dreamy.

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Chris Iannetta's dreamy...
But if Kapler was a duck, he’d be much more desirable for girl ducks than those scrawny Daffy types. Saturday morning cartoons have taught me something.
He'd be an Alpha Duck?
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
.

Kapler would be the duck that all the male ducks wanted to be and the females wanted to be with.

Aah, now it makes sense.
"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."
Yeah, I get that a lot, minus the humorous part.
At any rate, your talking pear with teeth creeps me out.
That pear totally just reminded me of some movie and now I can't figure out what it is.
Driving me crazy. It’s some movie with creatures with rows of horrible, rotating teeth. It’s on the tip of my mind and I can’t quite grasp it.
That would have been
so much better with a giant human-eating pear.

but with Fogg the love is more of the sentimental type that transcends beyond that. Rocktober 07 and even before, I have been a Fogg fan.

So he's your Cormier

Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I don't pay close attention to the AL

Gone on their own accord, it seems.

Not trolls, they were just unaware that Purple Row's got stricter posting protocols than a lot of our blogs.
The AL seems to have quite a few that go pretty low brow at times. I guess we have a few NL blogs like that too, just not as many it seems.
I'd argue that we have a good mix of low-brow, high-brow, wordplay, and images.
But the main difference between our GDTs and yours is we get relatively frenzied over there, you guys in comparison are much calmer. Nothing wrong with that though, just a different pace.
"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."
Oh, and we drift off-topic in GDTs with alarming regularity.

This is rather pathetic.
At least the Rays are a decent team (read: Not the Nationals)
and as I type this Bradley hits a double.

He needs to be eating whole grains and lots of healthy vegetables at the start of our next streak.
Probiotic supplements might help, too.
that and some liquid draino

theoldgrizzlybear may take awhile to post the recap
Depending on when he gets back from the Sky Sox game. I do not envy him this one.
He's doing it?
"If we never try, we shall never succeed." - Abraham Lincoln
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Yes that's what he said

I deleted it,
but I thought he asked for someone to cover it.

Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Nope, he said he'd cover it. I'm going to bed, then.
Good night everybody, we’ll start another good stretch tomorrow.
Russ, you could probably do it if you wanted to.
Why you would want to write about this game, though….
Is that fair
to pin this one on DLR emotionally unravelling? I didn’t see that part, but that’s Ringolsby’s angle (sort of).
I thought he held it together well on the surface

He didn’t unravel. He just got hit. By a very good offense

exactly this is going to be a
very important next few days….do we rebound and continue to play well or do we collapse
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE

Let's hope...
the former, rather than the latter

Jusr got back from the game....
…..so here’s my 1st-person analysis: we really stunk tonight (if I were more SABRsmart I would back this up so as not to anger the powers-that-be).
