Carlos Gonzalez Completes Cycle With Walkoff Homer

PrintCarlos Gonzalez's Night
1st Inning: Single to right field.
3rd inning: Triple to right center field.
5th inning: Double to left field.
7th inning: Sac fly to center.
9th inning: Home run to right field.
It was the 29th HR to go into the third deck, estimated distance 462 feet. That's some kind of exclamation point cha-ching
CarGo's cycle is the sixth in team history.
Let's not forget that Melvin Mora also went 4-for-4, and Miguel Olivo hit a three-run homer in the second inning. Jason Hammel cruised through the game until he started the eighth inning. Hammel allowed two singles and struck out Kosuke Fukudome before Rafael Betancourt entered the game. Betancourt then served up a gopher ball to Derek Lee to tie the game.
Boy, I'm glad this team decided to roll over and die for the next two months.
GO ROCKIES!

As i tweeted,
The cubbies are the best things to happen to rockies baseball since Tulo’s cycle last year.
Is that four tacos in your pocket, or are you just happy to see the Rockies scoring 7 or more runs?
It's official
I will not watch another Rockies at-bat until we get scored on
While I was gone:
Yesterday, 12 runs
Earlier, 4 runs
Now, walk-off for cycle.
What’s next?

For all those who seem to think these wins are unimportant and unimpressive
Try being a Cubs fan right now
So, in two nights on a beautiful weekend in Denver,
the Rockies fans have watched their team score twelve runs in an inning, and win on a first-pitch walkoff.
That must be fun.

OHAI!
Nice to hear from you again. Trusting that all is as well as can be.
As to your “suffer Cubs fans” meme: One of my greatest joys in life is watching Cubs fan faces on the television as they lose. Last night was great, but tonight was priceless. Guy on the third base side damn near collapsed when Cargo hit the HR. Aside from the Rockies winning, that pretty much made my night.
Get your purple on.
did you see
the guy who “caught” the walk off shot? It just landed in his lap and he couldn’t celebrate catching a HR ball in the upper deck because he was wearing the wrong color. I laughed

that might have been the one time throwing the ball back onto the field for a Cubs fan would have been good at Coors Field, you can’t be ejected after the game (glad he didn’t throw it back though). He looked a little heart broken when the ball landed in his lap.

tomorrow if I have time I’ll go through the rest and see if there is anything worth putting up as well. I filmed a lot more than Helton – pretty much got all of Tanos’ and Dickerson’s AB… The HR by Adames, a lot of pitching video, and several random things at the park (like Hobart dancing on the dugout and cheering for Helton)
I missed a few things too :( Helton made a nice catch in the dugout, a few cases of him showing some emotion such as giving the fistbumps to Dickerson after both of them had singles, and a great pickoff move to erase a Raptor off of 1st base.

Wow.

Wow and Yes!
After those two gagfests against the Bucs, I was going to take a week off from watching games. Glad I didn’t keep tahat promse. Two great games to watch back-to-back.
And wasn’t it just awesome to have both of the key guys in that Holliday trade be first in the box score tonight. CarGo 2nd in the NL in hitting, 1st on the team in HR and SB (and OF assists too, I think). Last night I was bummed because he missed the cycle. So, just get it tonight.
Great night at the plate for Mora, but his defense is still cring-worthy (even he knew he should have had that Soriono hit down the line). But right now we are getting contributions from all 25 on the roster, which gives me confidence for the next two months. We are the deepest team in the division, and the next two months will show that.

First, I saw that MLBN gave Cargo’s walkoff the #1 play of the day. Then, I watched Sportscenter’s Top10 countdown, and Cargo didn’t even make the list, although there was a less dramatic walkoff in Texas that made it. #1 was some lacrosse play.

are tied with the Dodgers, and yet indicated that the Dodgers are in a playoff race…..peculiar.

Me: Yes!
Dad: what’s a triple?

to continue the point
I have a lot of Indian friends who try to understand baseball and absolutely cannot understand it and ultimately give up. There’s definitely a large disconnect…
But I can definitely see that as a reason for their interest—it was after all, my dad flipping the channel to the Rockies-Dodgers game in 1999 that got me hooked.

Tonight the Cubs once again illustrated why that are the masters of failure
Most teams would have just lost this game 5-2 (Okay maybe not but go with me here), but not the Cubs. Instead of just losing by three runs after being down 4-0 they get a 3-run home run from Lee to tie up the game in the 8th and because of this Cargo gets the extra at bat he needs to hit for the cycle and send the Cubs home losers in even more painful fashion.
This is what is so fantastic about the Cubs!!!! Even when they do something that seems like a positive for them they are really just setting themselves up for massive failure. They have this down to a science.

The Rockies sure like to make things interesting. Again, can’t have a nice 5-2 win, nooooooo, gotta go for the drama.

I will no longer listen to 1510am because they have given him his own show with Jim Armstrong.
He’s hateful, destructive, ill-informed, and knows NOTHING about baseball, much less the Rockies. He’d rather we have gone after Lilly, or Theriot? He’s too stupid to know that the squad we have has been injured and playing poorly. Not that the team is a bunch of poor players…..
I hope he says something so stupid one day that it gets him fired.

I'd use Olbermann as more of a comparative
But that’s why baseball is awesome: Despite political/religious/economic differences, Rockies fans can be peers in our hatred of the Kiz.

And oh, he’s a HUGE baseball fan and has his own baseball blog called “Baseball Nerd”.
