2007 Colorado Rockies Thread

[Rodney Harrison]

He's hitting .341/.382/.437/.819 at Coors and .309/.361/.346/.707 on the road. It's the Coors effect that's working for him.

 

Buchholz is 4-3 with a 4.65 ERA in 60 innings. He's pitched in as many games as last year with far better numbers, but he's been mostly used as a reliever in Colorado. Hirsh seems to be improving. I still say the trade is a wash, but I might change my statement if the Rockies are still in the wild card (and potentially the division) hunt in September.

Ryan Spilborghs is batting .338 with 10 homers and 43 RBI in 151 at bats.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Rockies overtake the Dodgers for third place, 5 games out in the west now.

[Quinny]

Matt Holliday is sick.

 

He alone has boosted my fantasy team into third.

I miss being able to watch the Rockies on TV. Fun team to watch.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Franklin Morales called up due to Cook, Lopez, and Hirsh going on the DL. RBI single in his first MLB at bat, so far also 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R

[Youk Of The Nation]

Ian Stewart's first major league homer is a Grand Slam.

did they just get swept by the pirates??

this team would drive me crazy

1 day they look as balanced as anyone out there and then voila,they lose 8 in a row

no excuse getting dusted by the pirates but their future looks good

Pirates took 3 of 4. And yeah, cheering for this team does drive me crazy. It's reassuring to know they're still young, though.

Can we talk about the Rockies?

 

4.5 games back and riding a 5 game winning streak, the Rockies went to Petco to play the widcard leading Padres. Rockies swept the then-red hot Padres and now only trail by 1.5 games, having played one more game than the Padres. Rockies have three against the Dodgers and then 3 against the Padres remaining... Padres have 3 against the Giants and four against the Brewers. The Phillies are .5 out of the wildcard and have Atlanta and Washington.

 

I know they're not great but considering the team is red hot... what are their chances here? I believe the Rockies hold the tie breaker against each team.

[Rodney Harrison]

In case of a one-game playoff, the Rockies would host either Philly or San Diego.

 

The Brewers/Padres series should be tough. Milwaukee is praying that the Cubs lose the 2003 NLCS rematch (which was also the last time Chicago won the Central).

[See Red]

Up 6-5 on the Dodgers, San Diego's losing in San Francisco.

 

Should the Rockies go on to win and the Padres go on to lose, there would be a three way tie atop the wildcard standings.

[TheKilo]

I was just going to post that....absolutely ridiculous happenings in the NL.

[TheKilo]

Helton RBI single, 7-5 Rox.

[See Red]

The Rockies have been incredible with runners in scoring position. This team just straight caught fire... 7-5, middle of the eighth.

 

By the way, I love how they show actual commercials on MLB.tv now. Most of them are MLB team commercials -- like watching the Rockies/Dodgers game I just got a Mariners commercial followed by an A's commercial. Cool to get to see 'em.

 

One of the biggest at bats of the season for SD. Brian Giles up with 2 out and 2 on in the 9th, down by 1.

[TheKilo]

Padres making it interesting in SF...2 on, 2 out, down 1.

[TheKilo]

HOLY s*** GILES HOMERS

[See Red]

Giles hit a three run shot... f***.

[TheKilo]

Wow, the Padres lineup SUCKS.

[TheKilo]

What a turn of events...Giles hits a bomb, Fuentes doing what he can to piss away the lead.

 

Unreal.

[See Red]

Fuentes sucks.

[See Red]

Get this guy out of the f***ing game.

[TheKilo]

Dodgers will bunt here.

 

edit - Wow, HUGE break for the Rockies.

[See Red]

That's sexy, Yorvit.

 

Here comes Nomahhh!

[TheKilo]

Now that's a mustache.

[TheKilo]

Miraculously, Fuentes gets out of it.

[See Red]

Spilborghs... wow. Ballsy decision by Hurdle. Padres win, that's alright, I'm not sure they have the offense to hang on.

[See Red]

Are you watching the game via mlb.tv or whatever, Kilo? Or following on Gamecast?

 

9-6 good guys.

[TheKilo]

Rox won't die. 8-6.

 

edit - Gameday, following the M's/Guardians game now.
