All these injuries are worrisome.

On another note: I'm animating a film for my digital art class, and guess what I figured out how to do? Make the little guy wear a Rockies hat. <sigh> Is this really my life?

Awesome!
Just get him a jersey and he will be set! The game is scoreless after 1 inning of play...

Sadly enough
I did this too. Now he's wearing a Rockies jersey and hat, and is yelling his lungs out in the stands. Hey, I set the story in Denver, I got to add a little color!

whew!
Escaped a jam there with runners on second and third and none out. The pop-up and DP got The Physicist out of it, though. It's nice to see him stretched out to five innings already.

by Rox Girl on Mar 11, 2008 3:09 PM MDT reply actions  

Fankles with a hit...
off of Hernandez's foot!

Solid five innings
for Francis. Efficient, only a solo homerun and an escape from a jam there in the 5th.

(Where did that nickname come from, "The Physicist"?)

by holly96 on Mar 11, 2008 3:11 PM MDT reply actions  

It was his major in college
Did Russ get it from somebody else?

It seems to fit, though, I like it.

by Rox Girl on Mar 11, 2008 3:14 PM MDT up reply actions  

Wasn't Iannetta....
a physics major too?

If so, this has got to be the only P-C physicist combo ever in the majors--well, at least in a long time.

by DenverBears on Mar 11, 2008 4:08 PM MDT up reply actions  

Nope
Iannetta was a math major. They're still a hell of a lot smarter than most batterymate combos, I'd say...

Sorry for not responding to this sooner.
I was in class.

As far as I can remember, I don't think anyone else has called him that yet. I remembered he was a physics major in college and thought it would be a good nickname.

I just didn't know where it came from. But it seems to fit him and his pitching style somehow.

Not another...
Double play. :(

Tie game!
Podsednik hits in Nelson (infield single, I think--I'm only half paying attention).

Good pitching today
Rockies pitchers gave up only four hits, only run on a solo homer. And only one walk, in the 9th.
