Game #158: Fogg vs Lowe

If you guys and girls

reach 750 comments tonight I won't be changing the parameters this time. New thread starts shortly before that.

I suspect you have a typo

Think about that. Peavy, Webb, Santana and the Giants' young guns ....

Do the Giants even have young players? I can think of Lewis, Davis, Frandsen, and Cain; only Cain is really good out of that group. While I suppose that being under 35 qualifies you as young on that team, I think you mean the Dodgers' young guns...? ;)

Or D-backs

"Young" and "Giants" never won me any word association games.

by Silverblood on Sep 26, 2007 7:19 PM MDT up reply actions

Prolly...

Cain and Lincicome. I think that's how you spell it.

by roxintober on Sep 26, 2007 7:20 PM MDT up reply actions

Could be

Cain and Lincecum, I suppose. Still, as long as the Giants stay the Giants, and are Roidless to boot, I'm still not that worried about them. They're general-managed by Sabean, after all.

Get Demented. Standing by my guys forever.

by Silverblood on Sep 26, 2007 7:21 PM MDT up reply actions

Yep, Cain and Lincecum

Those two are great pitchers, but you're right, the rest of the team is old or just not good enough. I was trying to point out how strong everybody's top of the rotation would be at that point.

by Rox Girl on Sep 26, 2007 7:27 PM MDT up reply actions

Yeah

We'd be the toughest division in baseball to face, pitching-wise. AZ would have Webb/Owings, SD Maddux/Peavy/Young, Dodgers Billingsley/Santana (if the trade goes through, hope it doesn't) us Francis/Jimenez/Morales, and SF Cain/Lincecum. But then again, as long as the SF offense gives Cain diddly-squat...

Get Demented. Standing by my guys forever.

by Silverblood on Sep 26, 2007 7:29 PM MDT up reply actions

Which says to me

We need to go get a starter this off season. I know we are probably looking at Atkins as the guy we're may try to trade. What do you think Atkins plus Hirsh could get us?

This should be a good place to ask this..

Just bought my playoff tix for game 1+2 at home.

Big problem though...

I'm going to be in Brekenridge Friday night, Saturday, Sunday.

When are these games going to be played?
I have a bad feeling I'll miss it if the Rox make round 1.

Better hope for extra games in round 1 or a whole second round.

This just in also:

Rex Grossman is benched for Brian Griese! Wow.

It's still way up in the air

Since the whole NL leaderboard is just separated by three games, the playoff scenarios aren't close to being worked out.

I love the fact I'll be in a 5 Star hotel with my lady in Brekenridge...BUT, going to Coors for a playoff game is amazing too.

Short market

he's a good guy, so I can't be too grumpy if he does well in it, but it does emphasize just how bad the market IS.

Maybe he'll be so happy with the team he'll stay as a swing man/long pen guy.

I had read

Fogg was a FA somewhere, and that his performance down the stretch had priced him out of the Rockies payroll.

I though 1) didn't we have an option next year? & 2) It's JOSH FREAKIN FOGG...how can HE be too good for the Rockies?

Big half inning here for Fogg

If he can get Ethier, Moeller, and Valdez in order, it will either make Lowe bat to lead off the sixth or make Little pull him for a pinch hitter, which I would welcome because he's on a bit of a roll.

Plus, if Fogg can at least keep the two run lead, we have the heart of the order coming up ready to tack on some runs in the next inning.

Offensive collapse

It's not often that Manny Corpas has a chance to bail the bats out here with three more outs after hitting like we've seen the past seven innings...

Cardiac Curtis is right.

I was twirling and shaking in my seat like I was on roller-coaster. When LoDo said "DAMMIT" during the Saenz at-bat, I thought, "OMG SAENZ JUST TIED THE GAME NOOO."

DenverBearsFan

has always floated the idea that with runners on late in the game, the Rockies should lift Taveras for a pinch hitter that doesn't just rely on infield hits.

I'd say the same is true with Pierre with runner's on. You just knew he'd have to hit a bleeder or this one would be over.

by David OhNo on Sep 26, 2007 10:37 PM MDT reply actions

now we just need a ten run inning from the G-men

by Blake20th on Sep 26, 2007 10:38 PM MDT reply actions

I think I'll just wait

for Gallardo to mow 'em down tomorrow.

Heck, with our surge and 'Zona's collapse, we could be worrying about the wrong team.

Regardless of Tomorrow, if we sweep the D'Backs, we'll tie them, and just need a Philly loss or two.

Actually

if we win out, we're a game UP on Arizona.

MORAL DILEMMA

I'm in LA and the Rockies are in town...I couldn't make it these first two nights because of commitments but I think I'm going to the game tomorrow.

However, the Rockies have about a .200 winning percentage when I watch their games in person. Naturally, they're on a 10 game win streak when I want to go.

Do I risk jinxing the Rox and make the trip out to Chavez Ravine?

If that's the case stay away, far away. It's for the good of the club.

Don't change anything

I was in terror when I wore my Atkins shirt to bed last night, thinking this was risking breaking the streak. But it's all right, and the Hawpe shirt I've been wearing around campus for the last week hasn't let me down yet.

It is a difficult situation, to be sure... but judge. Would you like a win you did not witness or a loss that you did?

I'm serious. We cannot tamper with the streak, and if you're bad luck, don't risk it.

It doesn't look like

No

Friday is the game we can afford to lose with Redman pitching. We need Morales to be the Morales we know and love tomorrow.

Seriously, I'm so happy for our kids. We gave them the chance and they stepped it up big-time. While it would be nice to acquire a top-flight starter, I don't think it's absolutely imperative.

I've been following all of these games online

since no extra innings or fast internet and I'm considering going to a bar on Sat or Sun to watch the game, but I'm afraid i'll screw something up by watching. Am I being too paranoid?
