Lilly Whitewash: Dodgers pitcher shuts out Rockies, 2-0
Matt Reynolds looked good in his major league debut, and Troy Tulowitzki's defense will probably get on some highlight reel of some sort, but other than that, there will be not much to recommend this game. The Rockies also had a decent effort by Jorge De La Rosa that was marred by a bad, two run mistake to Reed Johnson and salvaged somewhat by the defensive work of Tulo and others, but the utter absence of the Rockies offense against Ted Lilly made it all moot.
In a running theme for the season, the Rockies allowed another pitcher to hit a career high in strikeouts in a game, with 11 K's tonight.

OT: Did anyone see that goofy ballboy at Oakland who got a kiss
from a chick in the stands for giving her a ball. Well, he grabbed another, passed by a young kid and gave it this same girl. Sad part…this ballboy doesn’t realize he’ll never see that chick again.

In a way I got that feeling
I’ve watched a lot of Rockies games this season, but tonight felt like crap the most of any night. I don’t think the Rockies quit neccesarily, but I think the desire to play competitively seems more lost than ever (if that makes any sense). Granted Lilly is an above average pitcher and has played great since becoming a Dodger, but seriously, a shutout on what 3 hits, on a guy who threw countless, countless 80 mph pitches across dead center plate? I remember for a while I was counting how many upper 80 mph to low 90 mph fasballs went right across the center of the plate with guys not even swinging and I got up to 7 before I just quit counting. It’s gotten to the point where a guy as nice as Olivo is losing it. I just think we arn’t playing like a team anymore. I always liked the Rockies team chemistry for the past few years and that just doens’t seem to be evident anymore.

You see the frustration and confusion here and in the general fanbase
It has to be a hundred times worse in the clubhouse, and those guys can’t escape to their day jobs like we can.
These are the times that show you what your team leadership is made of. Supposedly this is a team built around character and “team before self”. This is the time to show it. It’s easy to have great chemistry when you’re having miracle runs and winning games.
Several teams would have had fistfights break out in the clubhouse by this point.

The really frustrating thing?

I have this fantasy of a 10-0 homestand next month. Sigh.
Look, maybe the frustration ended when Ted was fist pumping with the rest of his underachieving, mercenary buddies. I don’t know. I mean, God, if they were competitive on the road, it’d be one thing. I became a Rockies fan when I was a kid and saw Dinger hatched out of an egg in the outfield. And I can’t remember a Rockies team that got punked on the road this badly. If you research it and find a year we did, keep it to yourself.
I mean, 9 effing runs in 54 effing innings of road baseball. 4 of those, on one swing…
Please let this be the suffering before the miracle.

I limited myself to the starting rotation for no particularly good reason. From there, I just can’t see Ubaldo, GDLR or Chacin doing it. Hammel also gets a little wild sometimes and shows the most emotion of anyone on the pitching staff in interviews.

I don't know why this loss hurts more than most.
But I just felt that if they wanted it, REALLY wanted it, they’d have to win tonight. IDK. Baseball. Funny game.

Can't aruge with that.
I think the reality that the team they had in mind winning a pennant is crashing around them.
And failure, particularly the failure of men in situations like this, stings.

Hawpe was not a "failure". He was being pushed out for awhile
and his problems this season didn’t help him get anymore playing time and wasn’t going to either….

Rockies flight took off 15 minutes ago. Sure didn’t take them long to get out of [Dodger]town after that game.

I didn't remember until I looked at the standings from last year.
But at one point in August, they lost 5 games in a row. Funny to think about that now.

That was a great day
I fondly remember being on the phone with my brother-in-law (who does graphics for the pre- and post- game shows on Comcast Sports Bay Area and is a Rockies fan). He was working the A’s studio instead of the Giants that night and was having a good laugh at the folks scrambling around on the Giants side completely rewriting the postgame show.

What I keep forgetting:
These guys are humans. I’d be shitty at my job too, if these were the things that happened to me in a single year.
1. Team Prez (loved guy) passes.
2. Todd Helton, the man everyone looks up to, actually looks like his career is over. Can you imagine how depressing this is to the rest of the team?
3. Bad luck injuries, over and over and over. Think of the road trip from hell, we finally seem full strength, then Street gets nailed in BP, team watches him pass out, then brought to the hospital, then forced to play a game.
These are just a few, but can you imagine the stress being put on these players, and the fact NO ONE is really acknowledging this fact. Sure, we have to expect more since they are professional athletes, but these people are humans too. There has only been a few times all year where it looked like they were actually having fun playing baseball, which I believe is why they aren’t where we think they should be.
