Does it count as a major league no-hitter
if it’s against the Padres?
No records in the last 10 years should count.
Yes NO HITTER
Tim Lincecum HAS NOT ALLOWED A HIT TONIGHT. BecauseHE HASN’T ALLOWED A HIT, he is pitching a NO HITTER. His NO ITTER is currently in the middle innings. But if he continues to NOT ALLOW A HIT, he will have a NO HITTER.
I could definitely use an Easy Street Wheat right now!
But O’Dell doesn’t distribute to Austin! Fail!
How big has our bullpen been tonight?
It felt like they looked very confident tonight.
Agreed.
He looks a lot better since…what game was it when our bullpen fell apart a few games ago?

Isn't Medlen their emergency starter if Vazquez can't go?
I wonder what the plan B is now, or maybe it’s still Medlen and Cox just figures one out/two batters won’t hurt.
i am hoping it is

So does Street have siblings named

Why Street gave up the run
To help our record in 1-run games
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
knowing what we know now
was Matt Holliday for Houston Street straight up a good trade for the Rockies (not counting anyone else)
I’d say yes….and I love Holliday
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
Effectively, yes
Not to mention the salary savings. I still think CarGo’s going to turn into a strong player, too.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I still have hope in CarGo too.
He has had some great at bats lately. Seeing the ball much better. Not hacking.
True
His 0-4 tonight wasn’t anything like his early 0-4’s.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
He is having much more quality at bats.
Not 2 or 3 pitch outs as much.
And don't forget, isn't he even younger than Fowler by a few months?
The dude simply came up too soon last season, but he’s got some seeeeerious skills.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
And he definitely wasn't ready then
Still not really sure he’s ready, but I like Tracy’s faith in him.

at Atkins and Spilly. Good to see a happy Atkins.
We're showing we can come from behind, too
Not the prettiest box score, but this really is the kind of win that suggests we’ll content ’till the end.
Now, if we can just get the Giants in for a few games…

That's owned by Ted Turner?
I’m an idiot and thought it was just some local Nashville restaurant. I’ve never seen one anywhere else.
oh no
it’s a chain started by Ted Turner to get people to eat buffalo
They have one in Wichita KS….which means they are every where
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
oh hellz noz
they are farm raised all over the west now. and Buffalo is really tastey.
look for it in your meat section usually there will be some ground next to the ground beef

Ted T.
ain’t just in Montana. He’s started ruining Nebraska and New Mexico as well.
New Age Buffalo Baron
I hear tell he wants an uninterrupted swath of land from border to border. He does own a pretty sizable amount of land in both NE and NM.
That is what
he wants to do. He turns his buffalo out and doesn’t control prairie dogs at all basically ruining the land. It kills me to watch him buy up all that great land and ruin it all. The Nebraska Sandhills are absolutely beautiful.
Kind of like "Hip-Hop" "Artists"
Pretending they’re “Gangsta”
Or whatever.
There's nothing good to say
about Nebraska.

Hey now
I take it you have never been north of North Platte and driven up to Valentine. It’s my favorite drive in the world!
You can't see that part of the country from the interstate.
It’s so much better when you’re closer to all the crops and pasture. But I’m partial to that kind of stuff.
Me too Yokel
having grown up around both of those things and spending major parts of time in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska for school and now a job. I have to stick up for those other two states when I can. If anyone ever has a chance, they should definitely take that drive from North Platte to Valentine, NE, they will be amazed.
Some pretty good
places to play baseball in the NE and KS too. Small towns are always the best places to play in tournaments.

im planning on going to the gamge tomorrow.
im guessing there is going to be a huge walkup crowd
I'm going on Saturday.
Section 328! 10 dollar King Soopers tix Rock!
This one, ladies and gentlemen,
is a ROCKIES WINNER!!!!
As I think Rox Girl predicted
We’re getting a bit of separation from wildcard contenders other than the Jints.
Milwaukee lost again, Houston lost, Mets are tanking, Reds back to losing record, Dbacks are even beating the Marlins.
Rox v. Jints, eventually.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
The bad part about the Mets
is it’s against the Dodgers..and I had hoped the Dodgers would slow down

The first one was the best live baseball moment of my life.

Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
She must be really good looking
because that was a great game

It was, but being there with her makes it the moment it is
That is the game when she truly….well and truly, became a Rockies fan

Of course, as I type this..
….she’s still in intensive care :(
I’m only home tonight because I need tons of extra sleep to be there when she awakes from her tracheotomy tomorrow night.

Thanks...it's been the hardest 2.5 weeks of our lives
…and not ending anytime soon. They have to do the trach because any more time on the ventilator risks serious complications. But she’s nowhere near being “better” yet.
But she will be, dammit, she will be.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I'm so sorry about your wife.
Hopefully this Rockies win helps her even more, though! She’ll get there, it just takes a little time.
Well, when she wakes from the medical coma
She’ll love the record and WC standings, but she has no clue what’s gone on since two weeks ago tomorrow.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I wish you both the best.
And I send like a billion good luck waves your way. That’s rough, man.
Thanks guys (and gals)
She doesn’t visit the Row, but she knows about it and knows how much I enjoy it. She’ll enjoy it, and I’m saving jrrockies’ card to read her after the surgery
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
That is rough.
Hope she gets better soon. I know from experience it can be hard to see a loved one with a trach.
I'm hoping it's better than seeing her in a medical coma on a ventilator
There are some signs she’s improving, just not enough, and just not fast enough.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I see horrible and heart-wrenching things on a regular basis.
But I don’t know how I would handle your situation at all…you must be pretty tough. Stay strong brother.
Thanks, man
I’ll probably have to miss a fair % of game threads over the next few weeks,but I am thankful to the Row for their support.

Tracy is talking about Atkins in the presser.
Praising him for his attitude in coming off the bench. I’m starting to really like Tracy, both in the dugout and in the media.
This
I never liked his managing, but that’s partly because I hate hate hate the Dodgers. I’m starting to think DOD really made the right call here. And it’s clear the players enjoy playing for him and play damn hard for him.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I give the credit to Clint Hurdle here
If it weren’t for Hurdle wanting Tracy on his staff in the first place he would not be our manager now. Thanks for everything Clint

I'd normally agree, but if the Dodgers keep winning at this pace

Not against San Fran, they didn't.
And they actually only split today against the Nationals. I don’t like their chances.

I feel odd ties to all Colorado colleges
with friends or family that went to many or maybe even most of them, so I don’t pick up on their rivalries. It never occurred to me until just now that Mesa State and Mines would be rivals, but it makes sense.
Last year
Our starting Safety was the brother of Mesa’s starting QB. That was quite interesting to watch, and I’m curious to know what happened when he got the sack.
