First No Hitter in Rockies History??

by RomanColoradoPhilly on Jul 3, 2010 8:05 PM MDT

Why do Drew Goodman and George Frazier keep saying that Ubaldo Jimenez's commerative bat is for the First No Hitter in Rockies History????

Didn't Hideo Nomo no hit the Rockies for the Dodgers during the 1990's? Jimenez's no hitter was not the first no hitter in Rockies' history.............it was the first no hitter by a ROCKIES' player in Rockies' history. The bat does look pretty nice. Hey nice comeback against Zito tonight.

No need for the apostrophe at the end of "1990s"

Ya know…since we’re being picky and all.

Sorry by the apostrophe is correct. I guess you fell asleep in your grammar class.

You mean "Sorry but. . . ."

actually it's not

you must’ve slept through that part :p

something about the apostrophe being correct when it’s at the beginning of something like the ‘90s makes people think it’s correct to place between a year and its plural

sorry Russ, but it’s a common mistake that bugs the hell out of me, so I couldn’t resist

I'm so glad you've pointed this out

because I’ve long been annoyed that people have said the there has been no World Series victory in Rockies history, since there clearly was a World Series victory AGAINST the Rockies in 2007. So if we win the World Series this year, it’ll be the second World Series victory in franchise history. That’ll be clear to everyone
