Rockies 3, Astros 7: Lowly Astros overcome (insert adjective) Rockies

PrintDear Rockies Offense,
Where are you? We thought you were going to do well this year, but you just don't show up when we need it. Before tonight, you averaged two runs over the last three games. And then you faced Felipe Paulino tonight who likes to throw a lot of pitches (he walked five of you!) and managed to get two runs off of him on two hits. This was over six innings! Then you guys get to face Brandon Lyon and actually place two hits in his stat line to have runners on first and second. That was followed up with . . . nothing.
Oh, and the defense? Well, Clint Barmes that flub in the eighth eventually broke the tie. To make it worse, Cory Sullivan gave the 'Stros the go-ahead run. Less said about Jeff Keppinger's bases-loaded double to clear the diamond, the better. Though it should be said that Esmil Rogers, who pitched during all of this, didn't make a bad pitch to give up that double.
Hey, guys, it's Ubaldo Day tomorrow. Please give him some run support, even if you are going up against Roy Oswalt.
Sincere love,
Rockies fans everywhere

Acutally....
predicting that the Rockies would be mediocre (or worse) in April and may is a really easy prediction to make. Not a popular one in these parts, but an easy one.
Based on past history, which is how most predictions are made, to be sure.
But the fact of the matter is that so much of this game is random that it’s just useless to even try.

The Rockies found another creative way to lose a game
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
Good god...
…this team against Roy Oswalt isn’t a very appealing thought. Ubaldo better be uber-great tomorrow if we want to squeak one out.
At least Ubaldo is in the lineup tomorrow
drastically improves our run production in the bottom of the lineup

after the last four days
I shudder to think of what Roy Oswalt will do to our offense

and may only get to see the last out recorded.

Crazy desparation idea the will never happen.....
…but it’s fun to consider:
bring back CDI and platoon him with Stewart at 3B.
Sure, he’ll butcher some lots of ground balls, but what the hell. maybe he’ll rake if the pressure of catching is taken off his shoulders.
And yeah, I know, it’s a dumb idea for many, many reasons. But at least I’m tryin’ here.
wtf is up with this team

the result of this game shouldnt be too shocking
As bad as they are, Houston has won more than one in three games. They got to face a struggling offense, a struggling sixth starter and a mediocre team. At home.

division update
Pads up 8-3 on Dogs and Dbags up 7-1 on Gints.
Sad to say, I’ve been watching quite a few of the other NL West teams this season and they all (well, maybe not AZ but they can score runs!) look far better than the rox at this point — even in their losses. The Pads are particularly impressive right now.
Tornadough! Tornadough! Tornadough!

We mentioned this in the game thread.
Some people were even suggesting we take a look. No please.

Yes, because he's the only problem on this team.
When guys who are supposed to be hitting aren’t, a guy in the 8th spot in the lineup who is a popular whipping boy suddenly becomes the player people want to throw to the curb.
Man, i really thought my prediction was going to come true at 3-3
considering that bases clearing double was a total fluke, I’m going to pretend I was actually extremely accurate.
Go into my head, come back out, and then tell me I'm wrong.

my heart shatters.
What is wrong with my rockies?? I don’t even think I’ll watch tomorrows game cus I’ll probably cry.

Oh how I want to be wrong about my "Road Trip From Hell" prediction...
…I just don’t think I will be.
Doesn’t mean the Rox won’t recover eventually, though.

What the hell is causing this team to be so maddening?
That is all. I’m so @$%^%)(* pissed at our play right now. Offensively, and defensively, we’re playing no better than the O’s. Our pitching has actually been, for the most part, pretty decent. Not great (Uball aside), but not terrible.
How the hell do you get TWO bloody hits of Paulino?

What is really amazing..
is that as bad as the Rockies have been playing, they are only 4 1/2 games out of first place in their division. But they need to get their act together soon, as LA is starting to make a run.
