Sunday Morning Rockpile: Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

by Russ Oates on Sep 30, 2007 9:00 AM MDT in Rockpile

Things to look for today:

Matt possibly winning two-thirds of the NL Triple Crown.
Troy knocking in two more runs to reach the century mark for RBI, establishing a new ML record for most RBI by a rookie SS.
Brad Hawpe hitting his 30th homer of the season.
As Rox Girl already mentioned, Yusmeiro Petit will start for the D'Backs today. The Marlins traded Petit to Arizona for . . . Jorge Julio.
The Rockies' 20th win of the month, a franchise record, and a chance at some extra baseball after today to make the playoffs as the Wild Card winner with some extra help.

So, in the nicest possible way, I'll say this: Screw the Broncos.

4 way tie and the Monforts

We all know the details of the big tie breaker thingy by now.

The most sensible thing for the Rox to do is to take the one road game instead of having to win 2 home games.

However, what do you think the Monforts are pondering?

If the Rox lose that road game.. then that's it, no playoff revenue.

However, if they take the 2 home games, then they'll get at least ONE sold out gate.

Hmmm...

I have to think

the Monforts will consult the front office on this one. A one-game sellout doesn't mean that much to them, I don't think.

Yes, those guys.

Revenue...

The revenue from two impromptu home games pales in comparison to the revenue from two scheduled actual playoff games - and your odds are better of getting those if you play one game instead of two.

Er...

Make that 4-0. Glavine just chucked it away to let Cody Ross score on an error assisted inside the parker.

Fielder not starting?

I thought Yost was playing his A team today?

If you caught the game yesterday, Fielder rolled up his ankle pretty good on a close play at first when Jason Lane dove at his legs... er, tried to slide into first. It was a horses*** play by Lane and now it looks like it could have an effect on today's game.
