we have made the climb alll the wayy back to the top of the WC in a little over a month and a half…now time to stay there!!

are stealing the whole University of Oregon baseball team in the draft. ROFL…Look at how many plaers were taken by the Rockies. I just hope Matzek signs soon..

I really hope that the Rockies aren’t Wild Card winner this year but they take the division…it seems like we only get to the playoffs as wildcards.

they mentioned the Giants loss and talked about the wildcard, but no mention of how the Rockies just took the lead and they said the Cubs will make a run to catch up. Somehow not surprising.

And I confess that back in the middle of May, I had not even a glimmer of hope that the Rox could come this far back. Amazing. Meaningful baseball through the summer. Huzzah!

But, oh yeah, there’s still that bullpen issue. I’m not give up on Manny after a bad outing, but I’m gonna believe that DOD is watching while working the speed dial on his phone at light speed. Who’s out there, what we may have to give up to get them: I’ll leave those discussions to those Rowbots who know what they’re talking about. But I’m all ears.

Still…WILD CARD LEADERS after being given up for dead. WOOT! Go Rockies!

But I don’t think there was any major promotion at the game tonight….

There were 40,000+ people there tonight. That’s an amazing turn out for a 6:40 game on a MONDAY NIGHT in JULY….

Sports club stats not only gives the Rockies a 41% chance of winning the wild card, but a 44 in 10 million chance of going 0 – 69 and still not ending up with the 1st pick in the draft. Coolstandings only gives the Rockies a 40% chance of winning the wild card :/

We are watching some interesting history here, peoples.

But Matt Holliday had a game that really makes me miss him. Sigh.

Looks like a certain catcher who’s name is not Yorvit is getting his swing back. Good for us, bad for whoever the opposing pitcher is.

I just read some Denver Post comments about todays game. My IQ dropped at least by half.

Congratulations to Spilly! He’s going to be a great dad.

Congrats to Cory! Once a Rockie, always a Rockie. (With the exeption of Livan Hernandez) Cory’s #19, too. Good things always come from players with #19.

On a couple of plays out to CF, Dex would kind of run around and then catch it at the last moment. Not sure if he was just misjudging the ball, or putting on a show, but after the missed catch a few days ago, it’s something to watch.

Omar coming into the game = awesomeness. He gets to so rarely, it must be cool for him, especially at home. I was excited, too, taking about 20 different pictures during his AB. I felt like a mother at her kids t-ball game.

There were a few fans that actually bood CarGo when he came into the game.

Tornadoughs are pure amazingness. Just wow.

NL WILD CARD IS OURS, BABY!!!!!

I knew we would hit Davis good. His stuff is below average..I honestly don’t know how his ERA was sub-4 before the game. Doesn’t matter..Hmm..while watching the game I noticed one thing. When Tulo comes to bat I actually EXPECT him to hit now. Before I thought we would all be really lucky to see him on base. But he looks comfortable at the plate. Good job from de la Rosa..you know he was happy after the game. And not just about his pitching lol. After tonight..I’m sure our bullpen needs help. There’s 2 guys I have a problem with…Rincon and Peralta. In the beginnign Peralta was good but not anymore. His fastball touches 91mph and it’s STRAIGHT and ELEVATED. Not going to work. Rincon is just scary. I figure he’ll give up a couple runs every time he’s on the mound. Speier HAS to take over for one of them. And the other guy can be taken over by whatever reliever we get in a trade :)

that yesterday was Whacking Day? I was thinking it was Whacking Eve, today was Whacking Day, and tommorow Whacked-Out Day (called Boxing Day in the UK.)

How do you like THESE apples: 31-10 over the last 6 weeks. But, it’s just a “nice little run”.

 last july 4th type of a comeback to win over the twins 14-13 last night…crazy game
