oooo
first GO ROCKIES
"I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline... I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - this greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious." - Vince Lombardi
Anybody else paying attention to the Giants game?
Brad Penny’s throwing good. I knew he’d come to the NL and be good..I wanted the Rockies to sign him.
plus he really looks bad in a baseball uniform
"I've had pretty good success with Stan Musial by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third." - Carl Erskine
Like, Oh.MyGod!
Actually, that’s funny ‘cause it’s true.
I've got it on gamecast
3 scoreless innings so far for Penny (same for Happ)
Penny's only gone through the lineup once
That’s a very good lineup; see how he does a couple more times through

I'm still holding out judgment
until I see Contreras on Saturday.
Also, people joke about it, but I’d rather have Contreras than Penny on the team I am rooting for.
ROCKIES!

Lineup
I like the lineup of Gonzalez, Smith and Helton at the top, but where do we put Dex when he comes back?
by controlled_slide on Sep 2, 2009 5:56 PM MDT reply actions

But they can’t all 3 set the table for Helton and Tulo. I’m just saying that I like Smith setting up Helton and Tulo.

However, the Mets should be more frightened, as they’re about to get a lethal dose of Hair-B-There.

Thanks for reminding me to scoreboard watch.
It’s not something I’ve exactly gotten into the habit of doing. Of course until this season, it was kinda boring…
can't wait
i’m predicting tacos again for the rox. ubaldo needs to get to work in the first inning, we’ve had too many poor starts recently, so i say strike out the side right from the get go. let’s go rox!!!!!

with the way we've been hitting in the last two series
maybe not so bold

i like the lineup
with the exception of barmes. i think he needs a day off. give ey2 ONE start at 2b. he’s no defensive wiz but i’ve seen him play in the springs and he’s at least ian stewart caliber at the position.
Popcorn chicken...with club sauce...
Ian Stewart caliber?
I thought EY2 wasn’t good defensively..and Ian Stewart is a GREAT defender. I think you should change that sentence.

I know right?
for whatever reason , Ubaldo doesn’t pitch good enough until the other team score runs. He needs to be shutting them out, not allowing runs.

Downside: George Frazier

yeah
don’t know how accurate it was to the actual gameplay but the strikeout pitch looked inside and the 2nd pitch was a slider that was pretty much in the strike zone its whole flight

Yeah I know.
But I’ve seen Gameday be off before. That 2nd pitch slider was probably low I’m guessing.

It started in the middle & moved inside

Looked on the corner when it crossed the front of the plate, though inside when it hit the mit.

shouldnt expect the bottom of the order
to be reliable all of the time, but it’s basically the same thing every night. strike out, pop up, iannetta strike out. torrealba has been pretty consistent though which is why he’s been in the lineup. can we get someone in there who can get on base? i’d take that over the occasional solo home run.

I have a feeling CDI's OBP will get mentioned in this convo.

walks a lot, but what does that matter when there’s no one in front of him and the pitcher on deck? plus with his speed he is not a good candidate to bunt over. he has been awful at the plate this year.

Baseball is game of imperfection
If center fielder doesn’t spear it, he scores
Slightly off throw to SS, he scores
Off throw to home, he scores
All those happen perfectly, he’s out
He had a 75% chance of scoring, the way I see it.

He wouldn't have to run.
The governor can appoint someone to take the seat until the next election rolls around.
Sort of.
Special election in five months, but there’s going to be a caretaker by October who won’t run.

They changed the rule
The legislature was worried Romney would appoint a Republican at the time and so they now have to call a special election.
Special election, right?
I’m guessing his right wing views won’t play too well in MA. Even if he did help bring a World Series Championship to Boston.
