Wow, that looked familiar.

PrintAnibal Sanchez walked a career-high 8 batters over 5.0 innings of work, gave up 3 runs, all earned, while striking out 4.
What drives this point of familiarity home for Colorado is the complete lack of RISP hitting. The Marlins went 1-for-11 with RISP, and that one hit was hit so sharply that Dan Uggla was forced to hold at 3B with NOBODY OUT.
He never made it home.
On the flip side of the ball, it's not as if the Braves were a show of complete run-scoring mastery. They pulled 2 runs out in the 1st inning, scoring on a groundout and a sac fly. The baserunners were all walked by Sanchez. Runs 3 and 4 came from a Chipper Jones solo shot and a Kiko Calero bases-loaded walk. On the night, the Bravos were 0-10 with RISP.
But it's not as if they needed those two insurance runs anyhow.
Jair Jurrjens, Peter Moylan, and Rafael Soriano combined to 5-hit the Fish en route to a 4-0 shutout. Jurrjens pitched 7 innings with 3K and a lone BB to rookie Cameron Maybin. Moylan and Soriano kept it that way.
With this win, the Braves drop to 2.0 games behind Colorado in the NL WC race, and 4.0 back from Philadelphia in the NL East, with 6 games left to play for all 3 teams.

Exceptionally lame
It’s a two game lead now. If we don’t gain a game in the next three days, the weekend is officially a dogfight.

Haha this is sweet
seriously thanks to all for being in the game thread tonight I wouldve sat at my tv by myself(well technically you guys werent with me but you probably understand) internet companions make me feel less bored then if I was just by myself. And I agree with SD we’re fine, just win(unsuspensfully-if thats a word, please)

I just finished plowing through seven hours of work
it is 240 am. I am going to have similar amounts of homework tomorrow after 8 hours of class. That leaves 9 out of 24 hours for myself. Theoretically, I will have to sleep some in order to not tank my biology midterm. I will have to eat. Does that leave time for rockies??? i am hating my life right now.
I want post season
you should be dreaming about rockies so thats a two for 1

If the Rox take care of business, they deserve to be in it
If they can’t, and the Braves pass them, then the Braves deserve it. No point in hoping the Braves lose if the Rox don’t win.
Carlos Gonzalez is a sexy man
I hope the Braves lose

Except, there is, as we could still get the WC!
I know it’s not the right way, but look at the team over the full season – I don’t feel we’d be considered frauds.
i don't care what people think
or how we make it – just make it…
this could be a great foundation year for a run of several year’s playoff level success..
watch this space for a soon to be created clever remark....
just listened to les shapiro and dave armstrong
try to talk about rox this AM.
my brain hurts….

I know Shapiro
Shapiro’s a good guy, but absolutely will not say anything positive about the Rockies unless at gunpoint – and maybe not even then. He was passed up for their TV job back in 1993 and my guess is he’s been bitter about it ever since. He loathes the Monfort brothers and wasn’t much of a Clint Hurdle fan either if I recall correctly. I remember trying to convince him before the 2007 season that the Rox had put a good team together and he absolutely wouldn’t have any of it.
So, yeah, when you hear Shapiro talk Rockies, keep in mind that he’s probably more biased against the team than anybody else in the Denver media.

didn't know that
thanks for the background.
dave armstrong knows some college football…
but since he’s gone a bit towards the attack side of sports journalism, he pretty much sucks…

I think you mean Jim Armstrong, right?

That is so true,
I listen online and its just so clear that they only know the Broncos. And give lip service to the Rox. The MileHighClub guys are better and Klatt and Kreckmann are most knowledgeable regarding the Rockies.
Don’t even get me started on Gil Whitely…
But the whole station gives the Rox very little time compared to football, both Broncos and college.

does gil whitely speak english??
he is incomprehensible…..
only one problem with klatt for me – when they talk about college football, his CU bias makes me ill – but i’ll live with that one… lol

I'm guessing Dave Armstrong
is a different Dave Armstrong than the Rockies TV play-by-play man in the 90’s….

WTK?
Kruk said last night he was hyping up the Braves over a month ago, and now he still thinks they Braves will pull out the WC on the last day of the season.

saw the link, refused to watch.
Did I mention I really get annoyed with Kruk?? Complete tool who never watches a baseball game west of Chicago. I bet he couldn’t name four Rockies players without a teleprompter… Now that my blood pressure is up, I’ll get some work done.

I am sorry I missed the thread.
I listened to this game. It didn’t seam like the same Marlins team that kept coming after us like the Terminator. When they played us they were relentless. Against the Braves they were quite tame.

They were completely shut down by Jurrjens
it doesn’t get much easier from here for them.

Please win please win please win
Hmm! I am surprised at my own pathetic cravenness. Still, please win, Fish!
I don't blame you
I think the Rockies get this done with one Braves loss – so I’d just really like to see that one Braves loss. Soon.
