Rockies 5, Blue Jays 3: Ubaldo Jimenez proves to be human, but still throws complete game

PrintWhy was this game even played? After a nearly two-hour rain delay, the game started but the rain still kept on falling. Ubaldo Jimenez became just a little bit human when he allowed a run-scoring triple in the second and a two-run homer in the third to Aaron Hill. And he walked five Jays. His ERA rose to 1.16, which is still damn good. He also picked up his 12th win of the season.
Ryan Spilborghs and Carlos Gonazlez each hit a homer, both solo shots. Clint Barmes, Miguel Olivo, and Seth Smith also joined in on the run production by using the double, the single, and the sac fly, respectively. As SDcat09 commented, "Hey, Ricky Romero...how does it feel facing an NL lineup?"
An awfully long night for the Rockies and the fans, but a Rockies win makes it all better.
Well, you get how the graph looks at the end.

Im posting from Hurricane, Utah.
Its only drizzling here. Oh and Ubaldo is so amazing he can condense an entire game into 6 innings. Because he is TMIPINTU!

With a 60% chance of thunderstorms Saturday, and 40% chance on Sunday, at least one game in the series is in the books.
And we got a win on Friday, improving to 2-6 on Fridays.
Great, the Rocks will get swept..
By mother nature.

Mother Nature might have shortened Friday's game, but the Rockies did get the W.
She might be able to take two out of three, but she can’t take the W from Friday.
A win, YAY
but it was a cold wet effing mess.
Ubaldomania.

MVP of this game for the Rockies: Mother Nature
She knew the Rockies couldn’t hit in innings 7 through 9 so she just eliminated them.

If I were a Jays fan I'd be furious after this circus act

If they faced Ubaldo in normal weather, they wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Just got back from the game
That was ridiculous. The game never should have started. It was a wet mess, I thought the game was done four different times, and I was finally right after the 6th.
The Jays didn’t see Ubaldo Jimenez tonight, they saw a right-handed version of Jorge de la Rosa. If that game is played in reasonable conditions, I don’t think he gives up a run. I guess it takes a torrential downpour to make Ubaldo vs. hitters a somewhat fair fight.
The good news, the Rockies won. I’ve seen a lot of good streaks start with something stupid like a 6-inning win in a deluge.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
I think if it had been some other team than the Blue Jays
(i.e., someone we actually play again) they wouldn’t have been so determined to get the game in. Or if tomorrow’s forecast had been good.
So friggin COLD GAHHHH
The outing that came to mind for Ubaldo today was the April 2009 outing at Wrigley—Ubaldo has a very tough time pitching in the cold, but he still pulled off a quality start today. Impressed….lol
Yes, I actually do like cricket. I'm Indian.

I kept thinking of the '07 playoff game against Philly
and of course who was on the mound that night?
TMIPINTU
Props to ANY fan at that game...
You guys kill it.
Otherwise Ubaldo is still too good (even with awful weather), and the Rockies actually found some holes in the defense, which didn’t exist during the Houston series. Tough win, but necessary.
All the fans that stayed were insane
and awesome.

I stayed until the umps had disappeared for at least 10 minutes
and all the Blue Jays were back in the clubhouse, at that point I figured they were done.
Of course I was in Sec 127 and had moved back to just under the overhang and I was still getting wet. The insane ones were those who stayed in the Rockpile through the 6th inning.
I was on the left field line
getting soaked with a red umbrella

I never leave games early. So in the 30 minute intermission before the game was called I filled out about 25 all-star ballots

thanks for the W on my bday AceBaldo
even in the crappy conditions you gutted out a 3 runs in 6 innings performance and is by far his worst start of the year and yet still a quality start and also against a very very powerful line up

Eff you rain for ruining Ubaldo's ERA.

Hopefully today's weather is a little more cooperative.
I drove 500 miles to go to the game with my brother tonight for his birthday.
Ubaldo is not human
he’s a witch as he melted partially in the rain. Then he put a spell on himself to still make him amazing.

Sat in front of a bunch
of guys who took to heckling Adam Lind last night. It was kind of funny because they pulled out their iPhones to see what they could come up with to make fun of him for. The reason it was funny is they had/have no clue what a Silver Slugger is. They were asking him, “Why didn’t you get the Gold Slugger, although silver is better than bronze.” Otherwise I wish they had just left.
I said it farther up the comment list: This was the coldest and wettest game I’ve ever been to and I was at game 4 against the Phillies in October last year. (I’ve played in weather colder but that was February and a blizzard hit as we were driving home.)
