I'm here. Not as happy as I was hoping.

As I said in the last overflow
It’ll break your heart
But the highs are worth the lows.
And the Rox give us plenty of both.

Yes indeed.
If you wanted to win 99 times out of 100 when you are 4 runs up in a crucial game, there are other teams you could support. No thanks.
Amen

Aw, do we REALLY have to have a sobfest overflow?
This is my first signature and I'm very proud of it.
I'm not sobbing
I’m looking forward to stomping the Padres.

I'm ready for next season to start
the 2010 team is just killing me
Ubaldo "Iron Arm" Jimenez
Seth Smith’s beard looks on in anticipation.
His name is Dan Uggla!
With all due respect, none of us are surprised you said that.
This is my first signature and I'm very proud of it.
lots of young talent on this team
2011 will be a good year….just going to enjoy the ride the rest of the way this year
time to make another run to the postseason....get it going guys!!

OK, forget the wild card. Go and whip the Friars. That may be our best shot right now.

If the Rox can't win the WC
I suppose they could settle for the division. ;-)

post of the night.

great debut from Delcarmen
4 runs 1/3 of an inning and a loss
time to make another run to the postseason....get it going guys!!
Troy Tulowitzki: "When people think of the Rockies, I want them to think of a winning organization."
Eh, it's his first game with the team.
I know he’s had issues all year, but has he even met Apodaca yet, much less worked with him?

Yeah, I'm certainly not denying that...then again, all the Sox pitchers have regressed this year, it seems.
I’m just hopeful because Dac’s had success with reclamation projects before. See De La Rosa, Jorge….Hammel, Jason…Street, Huston. Ah, you get the idea. :)
Like you said, time will tell.

exactly, the team arrived a couple hours before the game
we knew he was a turnaround project when we got him. If he’s still like this next April, that’s when you get out the pitchforks.
if he's this way next April, he won't break camp with the team.

Yeah...I'll wait until Apodaca has a chance to actually work with him.
After all, after last sason, Dac emphatically proved he was NOT the problem in the early struggles. :)

I don't think it was necessarily good to just throw him in there like that tonight
of course, how much of that is hindsight? if he’d held them we’d probably be singing his praises

The other reasonable choice at that point was Deduno
or Morales if you like living on the edge. Not sure I’d put the rookie in that situation any more than Delcarmen.

They showed lots of heart in this come back tonight
unfortunately this time of year we need W’s. Hopefully they will take this offense to Petco and at least stomp the Pads for 3 games.

Rockahol is magical
it’s purple. And it doesn’t damage the liver. It will put a strain on the cardiovascular system, though…

OT - how's the weather looking from there?

Yeah I am too
Tomorrow night is when it’s coming in and we will probably get a full blown tropical storn but the hurricane part looks like it will stay over Cape Cod. So just a really stormy night tomorrow I hope.

was to insert EY in the heart of a playoff race. He hits like Willy T., and fields like his Dad.

A big error
And look at his season line. Same as our former leadoff guy, Willy T. He came up swinging at the first pitch with the bases loaded againt Contreras that was in the dirt, after the previous two batters had 3-1 counts.
He’s not really a major leaguer at this time, and we can ill afford that in a playoff race. Now he can play the rest of the games since the race is over for us. I’d still prefer to see what Nelson can do.
by GoRoxGo on Sep 2, 2010 9:24 PM MDT via mobile up reply actions
Look, I'm not saying EY is amazing
but we inserted EY in favor of Barmes.
EY wOBA: .296, OBP: .313
Barmes: .283, .300
It’s not as if he is good, but the fact remains he has been an upgrade over Barmes, especially given his speed. Ergo, it cannot be his fault we are not in contention when we would have been worse off had the switch not been made.

I'm not asking for Barmes back, but Herrera or Nelson would be nice

You forgot the defense comparison...
It’s not even close. EY’s errant throw to second on that DP ball resulted in 1 unearned rub tonight and an earlier exit for Chacin due to the extra pitches. Barmes makes that throw and we end inning with DP. We lost by one run instead.
We should have traded for Uggla, but EY2 is maybe our fourth best option for 2nd base right now, behind Herrera, Nelaon, and even Barmey. Speed is overrated if you can’t hit.

Possibly so, but as a leadoff hitter, he is way too much of a free swinger
it would be awesome to find a legit leadoff hitter some day.

Have to agree here
The injury bug bit hard and often, and that damn thing has really sharp teeth. I know we got pretty lucky in that department overall last year, but damn.

Agree that the injuries are what did us in. Of course, we've still got (/consults handy-dandy schedule) 29 games remaining.
So anything is possible.( /thinks of 21 out of 22)

Reality sucks right now
The 2010 Rockies are done!!!!! Do you hear me Rockies? You have NO SHOT at making the postseason. In fact I guarantee you will not make the postseason. (Okay, now that I have removed all expectations go out and make me eat these words)
