Around SBN: News And Other Updates Leading Up To Pats-Giants

Carlos Gonzalez Has Gone Nuclear: Rockies 6, Padres 2

All year I've been waiting patiently for the San Diego Padres to wake up and realize that they weren't good enough to win the NL West. Finally, it appears that they have, as they dropped their ninth straight game. Admittedly, San Diego is still probably going to win the division, as they do still have a 2.5 game cushion on the Giants (pending tonight's result), but the point is that I couldn't shake the feeling that despite their strong Pythagorean record the Padres were playing well above their talent level. It warms the cockles of my cold black heart to see the results finally match my highly-biased perception. Let's hope that the Rockies can take advantage of it (5.5 GB in the division).

With a semi-national spotlight on him, Carlos Gonzalez continued his reign of terror on NL pitching with a 3-4 day with two doubles, a steal (his 21st), and two runs batted in. He led a Rockies offensive attack that despite striking out 15 times recorded ten hits and walked five times CarGo raised his average to .335 with his efforts and his RBI total to 95. Meanwhile, Jason Hammel went 6.1 IP, allowing only two runs on six hits while striking out three to get the win (10-7, 4.25).

San Diego began the scoring with an Adrian Gonzalez double in the first, but Colorado struck back with a two-run single by Todd Helton in the third and then added to the lead in the fifth when former Rockies farmhand Everth Cabrera bobbled a bases-loaded, two out ground ball. The Padres came back with a seventh inning double off of Hammel by Nick Hundley.

It was a tense situation, the Rockies clinging to a tenuous 3-2 lead in the seventh with the bases full of Padres and Gritty Fan Favorite David Eckstein up, but Esmil Rogers came in and struck him out on a filthy breaking pitch to preserve the lead. Gonzalez smacked a two run double as part of a three run eighth while Matt Reynolds and Manny Delcarmen pitched clean innings to close out the game for the Rockies.


71 - 64

Won 2

 The Rockies will go for a crucial road sweep tomorrow with Jorge De La Rosa on the mound, opposed by San Diego with Clayton Richard.

This clinches...

the first winning road trip of the season. We’re now 2-0 on the trip with one left to play!

Three things

Great pitching by Hammel and Reynolds. Rogers….I don’t know if that first pitch to Eckstein was intentional but it did the job.

My love for Cargo has reached the point of no return. I will just let that hang there….

And we may have found the only two announcers who are worse than Goodman and Frazier….wow….Mark Grace did NOT impress.

Agree completely on the announcers...

Grace is part of MLB’s worst broadcast team with Arizona. Rox are probably next to last. When I watch these teams and (Houston), the mute button goes on immediately…as it was today with the woeful Fox duo.

Campbell was terrific...

unfortunately, he was only here three seasons (‘94-’96). Since then, Rockies’ TV announcing crews have been a joke. We deserve better but Fox calls the shots now.

Campbell lives in the Springs...

He’s often said he’d love to broadcast with the Rox again but there’s the cross competitive contract with ESPN.

as was Duane Kuiper, who was Rockies’ first TV analyst. Sadly both had to work with Charlie Jones. I keep hoping Frazier will retire and go watch his son pitch fulltime.

The FSN theme song should be "Home on the Range"...

with the key words being: “Where seldom is heard a discouraging word.”

Admittedly, Dibble is a tool and I’m glad to see him gone from MASN telecasts. But, to his credit, he was honest in criticizing the Nats when they made mistakes. (We rarely see the same thing here). It was his foolish remarks about Strasburg and another dumb comment criticizing female fans that got him fired.

I Like the FRM Guys

So I am in the minority (then again, I have small kids so I am subjected to all sort of innanity in kids shows so Goodman and Frazier are actually a drink of cold water compared to Barney, talking dragons, and puppets and cartoons), but my goodness, those guys calling the game today must have been up for 48 straight hours or something. No energy, no insight, no…anything. Talk about mailing it in.

Last night after the 4th was painful but they found a way to win (which they couldn’t Thur), and today they simply took control of the game and did not let it go. Make me believe 5.5 games is doable. This year there are no grea teams in the NL (though if I had to vote i would go for the detestable Phils now that they are healthy), so this next 27 games the Rocks could go 12-15 or 21-4, and neither result would be suprising. Still going for the road sweep with DLRL tommorow in what should be the best pitching matcup of the day.
