Rockies 10, Brewers 6: Colorado now one victory away from securing playoff spot

Email
PrintOne--the loneliest number, or so someone says. It's also the Rockies' magic number (no, not RockiesMagicNumber) after tonight's riveting victory over the Brewers. One win away from Rocktober again.
Two--a good number, as the three home runs the Rockies hit were all of the two-run variety. Todd Helton, Carlos Gonzalez, and Troy Tulowitzki hit those in the third, sixth, and seventh, respectively. Carlos Gonzalez also led off the bottom of the first with a triple and scored on a Seth Smith single.
Yorvit Torrealba continued his hot hitting with three hits and an RBI. Comically, two runs scored on wild pitches.
And now we arrive at the pitching. What do Juan Rincon, Joe Beimel, Matt Daley, and Franklin Morales all have in common tonight? They worked to end the seventh inning. Yes, four relievers. It all went like this. After Jason Hammel struck out eight and allowed four runs in five innings, Jose Contreras treated us to an exciting sixth inning by loading the bases and ending the inning with a strikeout. Then Juan Rincon started the seventh inning off by watching a Ryan Braun single. Yanked. Joe Beimel enters and sees the same thing out of Prince Fielder. The hook. Matt Daley then recorded a K, a single, another K, and another single (this one scored a run). Time to go. Franklin Morales came in got a fly out. Anyone see the problem with that inning?
Ten--Jason Hammel reached double digits in wins, giving the Rockies five starters with at least 10 victories.
Ninety--the Rockies have now tied their franchise record for most wins including play-in games.

I was thinking
If Torre doesn’t let the Dodgers celebrate until they clinch the division, then the only celebration they’ll get is if they beat us once or we lose tomorrow.
that said, if Tracy follow suit, and we beat the Brewers tomorrow, clinch the WC, and then go into LA, and then lose a game, do we lose out on OUR celebration? Or if we clinch the WC, do we celebrate that?

Jim Tracy
Sure, he’s proven himself t be a very solid game manager, but Tracy’s greatest accomplishment was mirrored in the way the Rox played tonight:
that was one loose, relaxed team. I never had a single doubt about them winning, and that came from the confidence they projected. As you watch some other good teams with big-name managers stumble to the finish line, it’s even more remarkable that the Rockies are finishing so strong.
And that’s on Tracy. He’s kept this team focused, calm and seemingly incapable of going on extended losing streaks. Over such a long season, that’s a remarkable accomplishment.
One of the finest managing jobs I’ve ever seen.

I did two years of old-school Latin in HS.

The last time he got to hoist a trophy, he yelled out something about “God’s Stadium”, right around the time we were trying to get OVER the second coming (no pun intended) of the USA Today Christian Clubhouse article…
That and he lifted the trophy first, which I won’t ever forgive him for. Once he handed it to MacGregor, he knew the right thing to do was to let Todd lift it.

Simply the fact that he acquired three fifths of one of the league's top rotations....
…. in exchange for Luis Vizcaiano, Ramon Ramirez and Aneury Rodriguez is amazing in and of itself. Then you factor in the return for Holliday, getting Betancourt, Beimel and Giambi, and hanging on to young studs up and down the roster and you’retalking about a truly remarkable job.
The only bad move all year was Grilli/Rincon.
Technically they were two separate transactions but Rincon took Grilli’s roster spot so i always equate the two together.

…about the Best Season Ever thing. Maybe that’s ’cause no one can hang the “fluke” label on this. And we now know our roster is solid and built to contend beyond this season.
Plus, the way this site has exploded also indicates that the Rox fan base has matured into a sophisticated and discriminating bunch. For me, that’s perhaps the sweetest thing of all.

Link to Bruce Jenkins raving about the Rockies
It’s all compliments, but this quote deserves to stand out:
There’s really only one foul aspect to the Rockies’ marvelous home atmosphere, invariably a late-innings development, and it’s something that must be stopped. Poop-Breath, or whatever that hideous mascot is called, suddenly sets up camp behind home plate to distract the pitcher with gestures, hex signals or the sight of his wiggling butt. The Rockies are in essence a first-rate organization and a credit to the game, but this pitiful display is the very definition of “bush league.”
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.

That and this
Will the Dodgers coddle their suspect rotation to get ready for October? Would they prefer to see Atlanta win the wild-card, thus avoiding a first-round date with St. Louis or Philadelphia? Will all of that be secondary to the Dodgers maintaining the league’s best record? It’s baseball. Nobody knows a thing. That’s why you don’t have to be a fan to enjoy the Colorado Rockies. Just sit back and be amazed.

But really, if that’s the best the east coast media can do in taking shots at us, we’re in really good shape.
Exactly
and it’s what we all think about Dinger anyway. The rest of the article is Jenkins talking about how even our depth has depth.

Macha thinks so too
’’They’ve got a left-handed lineup, they’ve got a right-handed lineup,‘’ Brewers manager Ken Macha said. ’’You start a left-hander and bring in a right-hander and they have one pinch hitter after another that’s got 15 or 20 homers … It’s a pretty potent team.’’

From what I understand...

the division would be great not only for winning our first division.
not only for sweeping la in la,
not only for the home field advantage,
but, because it looks like it would get us the cardinals
and i just love the lineup we rolled out today
and would like to see this lineup used everyday in the nlds.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
And because it would be the biggest comeback to win a division ever.

Great to see three potential meaningless games on FOX
Washington at Atlanta
Kansas City at Minnesota
Florida at Philadelphia
At least Rockies fans can enjoy their late night fun Saturday night with the Rockies and Dodgers on FOXRM, MLBN, and MLB.TV., along with www.purplerow.com, of course.
What's even funnier
Fox was originally planning on showing Rockies at Dodgers, but swapped it with the Atlanta/Washington game this week when they thought Atlanta was going to take over the Wild Card. Now the Rockies and Nationals have two shots at knocking them out before Saturday’s game.
We might need an overflow thread for this
