Overflow
before the 5th inning? People really, REALLY missed baseball, eh?
apparently
and it’s like a whole new season…one where the Rockies have a chance in.
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
Whatever, watching the AAA all-star game gave me a reason to look up funny minor league team names
And the Montgomery Biscuits win for best logo
Gaudin really does like to go for that high outside corner
but the Ump just won’t give it to him

Helton is such a beast
We must be really rolling tonight. Overflow thread in the top of the 5th inning.

Some peoples' browsers do crazy things
when there are too many comments. And it’s easier to keep track of the convo.
Lot's of comments slows the auto update thingy down right around 500,
And it just makes reading through and finding stuff easier.
When the original game thread's comments become numerous, they become a burdern on the performance of PR in the web browser
So this basically eases the physical ware and tear on the computer.

Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
But they have 0 lefthanders on the roster
"Any newspaperman who speaks of the 'music' of rolling presses is either faking or he has had so much to drink that he will next sentimentalize appendicitis."

Yeah, it's a very weird roster.
14 right handed pitchers and 3 bench position players.
by Greg Stanwood on Jul 16, 2009 9:38 PM MDT up reply actions
why so many pitchers
League low 5.6 IP/start, but that’s not so low as to imply 14 pitchers. Unless they’re getting worse or something.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Their bullpen depth is even shakier than ours.
For them, each bullpen pitcher only counts as 75% of one. :p

I went to Taco Bell after the Rox won in a blowout
they scored well over 7, but I don’t remember which game it was. I asked “4 tacos for 1 dollar please, the Rockies scored 7 last night” and the cashier just looked at me like I was from Mars. I thought “Apparently they don’t do the 4 for 1 in New York when the Rox score 7. This is the most disappointing moment of my life.” Then the cashier (who was wearing a Red Sox cap AND a had a Red sox tatto on his forearm said “who are the Rockies?”

This is also only
the third season where we’ve been at over 500 at the all start break, so it’s unsurprising, really.
Yay for MLB Extra Innings free preview!
Boo for public transit making me miss the first three innings!
Yay for a Rockies lead!
If we start losing now,
I think it’ll be on your shoulders. But I see that as unlikely, at best.
Well, I've been watching since it was tied.
But I’m anal and have to catch up on a thread before I can post.

But at first all I saw was the scoreboard, showing the Giants up 7-0 on SD. Then they showed Sanchez’s dad and that’s when I noticed the “Giants Classic” graphic.

Ball was hit to Cook, he ran to first and he and Todd had some miscommunication.
Cook went to tag the runner, Helton (I think) thought Cook was going to flip it to him, they sort of ran into each other and runner was safe.
Too polite?
He’re, you can get the out. No, you go right ahead, be my guest.
Cook fielded the ground ball
And didn’t get the flip going, if he had just gone straight to the bag he would have got therunner out. However, he didn’t make up his mind and just sort of met Todd. Runner was safe.

The Padres have a weird roster
3 bench position players, one is a catcher, and one is a giant outfielder.
I assume this is due to injuries? E.g,. Eckstein temporarily replaced by a pitcher.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Check today's "Know Your Foe" blog
It goes over the roster thoroughly. The Padres 25-man roster is perhaps the strangest setup in the majors. They have been hit hard by injuries, which is partly to blame for their roster woes.

Goodman says the Pads will make a move after the game
to add a 4th position player. I don’t think he said who it would be, though.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
They're supposed to call up a pitcher for Sunday
Unless they already did that.

really?
I hope they swap pitchers instead of going back to having 14.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I'll have to check the series preview
But ESPN has them calling up a pitcher after the game tonight to make his debut Sunday, while MLB.com has them going with a guy that made his debut last week.
