These were the ERA's of the Pirates pitchers before they came in and held the Rockies to one run tonight. In case you can't tell by this, the Pirates are a bad baseball team. A bad baseball team that's now handed the Rockies three defeats in four tries in the last two weeks.
It doesn't matter where the game's played at, losing to the Pirates is only something other bad baseball teams do. Because you can't handle the frickin' Pirates, Rockies, you have no business thinking about the playoffs this year. You should think about your golf swings, because that's what losing baseball teams do. Think about your golf swings and not baseball. You won't be playing baseball for much longer.
Seriously, go home, and think about what you just did. You lost to the Pirates, a team who can barely cobble together a AAAA pitching staff, and you've lost to them three times. Three. Yeah, whatever excuse you want, Rockies, but it's the friggin' Pirates.
Losers.
There were plenty of goats tonight:
After striking out three times tonight and going zero for four, Miguel Olivo has just eight hits in 52 AB's since the All Star break for a .154 batting average. Carlos Gonzalez, batting third, also reverted to a road zombie and went hitless as did Jason Giambi batting fifth. Jeff Francis allowed a two run home run to Ronny Cedeno. He apparently didn't watch Wade LeBlanc's 7/25 start against Pittsburgh, as LeBlanc too was caught napping against the Pirates light hitting shortstop.
Troy Tulowitzki was credited with three hits (one was a bit of a gift) to lead what offense there was from the Rockies.
Not that it really matters if the Rockies are still going to be losers tomorrow, but at least the Giants are also some of history's losingest losers tonight, and the Phillies are also losing.

Even if we figure out what the decision is based on their schedules
I’d still like to hear what the team is planing for that spot. Are they thinking this is just a spot start?
Cook is not eligible to come off the DL until the 19th
Even if he’s activated immediately when he can be, at least two starts must be made by the mystery spot assuming full rest for the rotation: one this Sunday, and another during the Milwaukee series.

Game turned in the 2nd
When neither Tulo, Stewart or Smith made the play on the foul ball that one of them should have caught. Next pitch: 2 run homer.
Yeah, Rox Girl, losing 3 of 4 to the Pirates is not the calling card of a playoff team. I haz a sad.

Ubaldo Fact of the Week: He has an arsenal of 6 pitches (Fastball, Curve, Slider, Change, Splitter, Cutter). Olivo had to get creative before the season in giving each pitch a sign, and so he uses his middle finger for the cutter.
As long as Chacin is in there soon I guess it's not that terrible but I want Rogers making as few starts as possible
(Now watch Rogers throw a shutout :-))
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?

Chacin might be able to hold the other team to 2 or 3, which is at least a playable number...
….Rogers is likely to get touched for 5, according to most of the experts (I don’t see it; he looks pretty good to me in terms of results, but the experts say he’s another RafBet as far as his fastball goes, while Chacin has plus stuff with movement)…

And there was no error scored on this play?

There should have been an error on Podsednik
If you want a laugh go to gameday and read the description of the play
Chris Denorfia hits an inside the park home run (7) on a gound ball through the hole at shortstop.

Didn't see it, but heard it.
Dodgers announcers are blaming it on Matt Kemp standing around and not backing up his left fielder (Podsednik). Is that fair?
by el campysino on Aug 5, 2010 11:02 PM MDT up reply actions
I think it's fair but the bigger problem was still Podsednik not fielding it properly

Not that I recall
But the replay clearly showed some guy in the stands screaming “I got it!”/ That could have contributed.

See, what they need to do is make a code.
Instead of screaming “I got it”. they scream “Apples and oranges, apples and oranges!”. No crowd would ever distract from that.

Geez
I was originally out walking with my son and my dog at the end of the game so I didn’t see the postgame. Just went back to see if I could answer this question and watched Jim Tracy’s comments.
He didn’t mention the lack-of-catch specifically, but I have not seen him as downtrodden as he was tonight. He could have been a poster on the game / postgame thread. Totally lost at this point for an explanation, just like the rest of us. I feel quite sorry for the guy.

Radio postgame didn't make mention of it that I recall either
which is odd. I think it was a key point in the game.

I think it was a key play too
I was hoping they would have a quote from Tulo himself about it
