Matt Murton update

For those Matt Murton fans, Murton remains red hot in Triple-A. Murton hit a 2-run double in the first today in Fresno to extend his hitting streak to 29 games, the longest hitting streak in Sky Sox history. Murton had a 13-game hit streak when he was called up in April, and now reeled off 16 more since he was sent down. Is another call-up in his future?

According to SportsCenter and Baseball Tonight,

they only play baseball in New York, Philadelphia, Wrigley Field, St. Louis, and Dodger Stadium. Case in point: The Red Sox win 5 in a row and get front-page billing. The Rockies win 11 in a row and get a story about how they are sellers.

Woot!

I generally miss the entire game on Sundays, so when I come home I’m always nervous about the result. Because I’m obsessive, I usually open Gameday while squinting and scroll down so I can’t see the top score and quickly go to the first inning. Then I follow along with the PR thread. I usually can’t quite avoid knowing the winner (because whoever is still on deck with when the game ends is right there), but I don’t know how it goes. Anyway, it was fun to follow along.

In other news, BBTN is doing a feature on Torrealba coming up soon. Should be a nice story for Father’s Day.

by holly96 on Jun 21, 2009 5:19 PM MDT reply actions  

Torrealba

That was a well done piece. Obviously not exactly a positive story, at least not how it started, but it was still heart warming seeing Yorvit with his son. I teared a bit, actually.

just got back from a father's day fishing trip

but we brought the radio and listened. Another great game, (closer than i would of liked of course)
sorry for hawpe and stewie going 0-8 with 4Ks and 5 LOB….its cause I played them on my fantasty team.

Regardless, it is a great time to be a rockies fan

if you're reading this, it means my undying support for your team will result in its failure.
