Diamondbacks 10, Rockies 7: Despite Late Surge, Rox Fall Victim to Snakes Once Again

DENVER, CO - SEPTEMBER 05:  Justin Upton #10 of the Arizona Diamondbacks watches his first inning solo homerun off of starting pitcher Esmil Rogers #48 of the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on September 5, 2011 in Denver, Colorado.  (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

Five Diamondbacks hitters had at least two hits, and Justin Upton and Geoff Blum homered as Arizona won their tenth consecutive game over the Rockies, this time by a final score of 10-7.

The D-Backs got to Rockies starter Esmil Rogers (6-5, 6.26 ERA) early, as Justin Upton homered in the first inning. They would tack on two more in the fourth and broke the game open with five runs in the sixth inning. Rogers was responsible for six runs, while Josh Roenicke had a rare bad outing as he allowed a couple of runs on two hits in his two-thirds of an inning of work. Greg Reynolds and J.C. Romero topped it off by allowing runs in the seventh and ninth innings, respectively. No Rockies pitcher walked away unscathed on Labor Day.

For the Rockies, Dexter Fowler had a huge day, going 3-for-5 at the plate with a couple of home runs - his third and fourth of 2011. Mark Ellis (solo) and Troy Tulowitzki (three-run) also went yard for Colorado, but their taco-producing output was not enough to make up for the subpar performance of the pitching staff.

Fowler, Tulowitzki, and Carlos Gonzalez each contributed multi-hit efforts for their club. Tulowitzki's ninth-inning blast gave him an even 100 runs batted in to go along with 29 homers.

Wow, no centurions today. Look at you guys, all out there having lives and stuff. Good for you.

Tomorrow, the Rockies will attempt to break their long losing streak against Arizona as Jason Hammel (7-13, 5.15) returns to the rotation. The D-Backs will counter with Josh Collmenter (9-8, 3.18). Game time is 6:40 PM MT.

Irony is a bitch.

I was just spilled a bit of water on my laptop. I quickly pulled the power supply connection and my machine shut down even though the battery is in. I thought great I just killed my laptop. Then I realized it didn’t get inside, but that the stupid battery was loose and when I pulled the power supply that’s why it shut down.

Lesson: No liquids within a foot of laptop.

And the ad campaign does nothing to make it even the least bit appealing to me.

I would watch Shark Attack 3-Megaladon. I would not touch Bucky Larson with a 33-1/2 foot pole.

by holly96 on Sep 5, 2011 10:43 PM MDT up reply actions  

I have watched Shark Attack 3...

I swear it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. Seriously. So bad that it was utterly hilarious. And yes I only watched it because of a younger John Barrowman but oh man, it was so bad it was good.

Even Barrowman admits it was a terrible movie

with terrible dialogue. But he was paid cash for it, so he did ti. He has a great story about a line he ad-libbed to get his co-star to have some reactions that was supposed to be taken out.. They left the line in. I can’t tell the story here, but it’s funny.

LOL. Sorry.

I haven’t actually watched the trailer, and didn’t even know Edward Herrmann was in it. I’ve only seen ads on tv. They barely show much actual movie footage, and are mostly some annoying dude yelling at me, “Bucky Larson, rated-R, HAHAHAHAH.” GO AWAY, FOOL.

True story:

In junior high I got annoyed with a kid in front of me in the hallway who was walking to slow, and I couldn’t get around him since it was crowded. When I got to my classroom, I pushed him and darted in the door.
