Rockies 6, Mets 2 - Melvin Freaking Mora hit a Grand Slam

I don't know what else to say about this. Well, I always have something else to say, but we could conceivably just leave the title as it is and just post the fangraph.
But I'll go ahead and keep talking.
The Rockies overcame a 1st inning deficit of 2 runs to take the stunning lead in the 8th inning on that Melvin Mora grand slam. Seriously, a grand slam. I can't stop saying it.
Other things that were good about this game include mostly Jeff Francis' 6 inning, 2-run appearance. Yes, he did give up that 2-run shot, but past that, he allowed just 1 hit, 1 walk, no more runs, and struck out 5. That's a good start. It reminds me that Jeff Francis makes me happy.
Here are some other fun numbers:
Melvin Mora, 2-for-4, .674 WPA
Troy Tulowitzki, 2-for-4, .076 WPA
Todd Helton, 2-for-4, .017 WPA
Here are some not fun numbers:
Chris Iannetta, 1-for-3, -0.70 WPA
Clint Barmes, 1-for-4, -0.74 WPA
Dexter Fowler, 0-for-5, -0.92 WPA

I think my words were "Holy ****"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
If the 2007 Rockies can win 21 out of 22 to reach the World Series and the 2009 Rockies can come from 12 games under .500 in June to make the playoffs, why can't the 2010 Rockies make the postseason after being 51-50?

So I could have sworn that tonight I saw Melvin Mora hit a grand slam and the Rockies win a game in New York. But I didn’t believe any of that crap for a second so I thought I’d come in here to try and confirm it. It appears that you have done that for me and that I did see what I thought I had seen. To which I have only this to say: bitchin’.
Also, Jeff Francis… still a good pitcher.

Yeah, can the PR stop with the "let Jeff Francis go" stuff now?
He’s had four VERY solid outings out of his last 5, he’s now clearly back from the effects of missing 1.5 years. He’ll never be Ubaldo, but he’s a good pitcher.

Since when has the PR said to let Francis go?
RG has said all along his option should be picked up. Jeff backed that up in the Rockpile today.

I'm not saying the PR officially...but several comments have suggested such
I do agree we should try to sign him to a 2 (maybe 3) year deal, but not decline the option first. Pick up the option (because he is pitching to a $7.5m salary now), and maybe try to extend him a year or two beyond.

by Mondogarage on Aug 11, 2010 10:39 PM MDT up reply actions
We especially get comments saying that...
…we should be declining Francis’s option in favour of throwing that money in as part of DLR’s contract…
that’s kind of ridiculous as I see no possible way to keep Jorge…
or how those events are even related
we need two starting pitchers next year. One event doesnt necessarily remove the possibility of the other
/throws SDcat09 under bus
Rowsdower! But why, Rowsdower?
Denver.SBNation.com
I just don't think the two should be dependent on each other
I am pessimistic about our likelihood of resigning JDLR, but I don’t think keeping either should be viewed as mutually exclusive.

by Mondogarage on Aug 11, 2010 10:47 PM MDT up reply actions
I just thought we should sign him to a longer deal for less per year.
But if he throws like this a few more starts I will change that opinion.
Thing is, because he is a lefty who is having success this year...
….if we turn down the option, there’s no guarantee we’re going to get him back. Sure, we offer him less per year, but given his pitching this year, someone’s going to offer him, say, 3/24. If we come back with 3/20, he’s probably gone.
So why take a chance, when the amount you’re trying to save in 2011 specifically, really isn’t that much?
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Well when he was struggling to go4-5 innings I was a little concerned
But it appears that that was a phase of coming back. I realize heisn’t a 110-120 pitch pitcher like Ubaldo. If we decide to pick up his option we should probably just extend him also.

strange
We win on a dramatic late inning grand slam be a right handed washed up veteran on a pitch from an erratic heat-throwing reliever at Citi Field. Seems like I have seen that exact script before. And Mora’ predecessor was the guy we wanted in FA over Mora. Strange

So you see that bridge in my avatar?
I got stuck on it for three hours this afternoon when an 18 wheeler went into oncoming traffic and blocked all four lanes. I didn’t get home until the 4th inning but did see the grand slam. It made this day a good one.

And when I was leaving some different Rockies fans pointed at me and said some stuff. All I could hear was, “Hey, there’s that other Rockies fan.” They might have said something about Purple Row but I probably imagined that.

More Padre hits with 2 out and RISP
2-0 now. They may be the most annoying team of all time
If the 2007 Rockies can win 21 out of 22 to reach the World Series and the 2009 Rockies can come from 12 games under .500 in June to make the playoffs, why can't the 2010 Rockies make the postseason after being 51-50?

The prosecutors in that case already decided not to pursue charges, citing a lack of evidence.

I will add that the standard of proof in a civil case is considerably lower than that in a criminal case. Still, though, if she’s suing for $15,000, that’s chump change for Santana.

After Francis gave up the homer I stuck around for a couple more innings but when that amounted to only a few hits (one being a bunt) I said “Screw this!” and went for a run. When I got back I couldn’t believe my eyes. I think I actually yelled some enthusiastic profanity at the television if I remember right. I was just so excited.

Came back from an early multi-run deficit on the road (when was the last time that happened?), hit with RISP, Francis had as good an outing as he’s had all year. Key win at a key time. Plenty to build on here, but we have to find a way to win the series in just a few hours.

Off topic and self-indulgent
But I have an MLB 2K10 question: what are the odds of a .305/.345/.465 centre fielder with 30 homers and 25 SBs winning rookie of the year? Good, right? I’m 4 games from the end of season and getting excited :)
(I also broke the Rockies – and MLB’s – all-time record for Ks in a season, go me!)
30 homers and only a .465 slugging?

I did indeed strike out a lot. I broke the MLB record in August I think :O
I am at pro level? Whatever the default is, I haven’t touched any of the sliders or anything. I have about 120 RBIs – way the best in the team – with 4 games to go.
But yeah, I am the ultimate singles hitter with the occasional HR thrown in. My best game was 5-6 which was 4 singles, a homer and a walk. And a 16-game hitting streak, which was nice.
