See Red

Fuentes sucks. Not really but he always makes things interesting, and for that reason I have no confidence in this guy. Eh, got Rollins to pop up.

Holliday!!! 4-2!

Yeah, mistake by Clint Hurdle me thinks. By the way, has anybody seen Mr. Met on Conan O'Brien? http://youtube.com/watch?v=dgvuGFj2Zng :lol:

I'm not sure Monday night would've done it. They threw ten guys but they all worked real quick. The only guy that threw more than 15 pitches out of their bullpen was Herges, and he threw three innings. With the day off, I'm sure their guys are fine. Francis is around 94 pitches right now, I believe.

3-2 now and the crowd is into it, now... And that one goes to the track... wow. Come on Jeff, battle through it.

Gom should write a book. Why limit the people who benefit from his incredible insight to just this forum?

I'm not so worried considering Escobar was garbage the last month of the season.

As I read the rule, and my interpretation of it, is that I was right and as I understand it from some people who are a bit older than me and might remember, it's how it used to be called. But how it's called these days it different, admittedly, and has been as long as I've been alive... I bring it up merely to point out that anyone arguing the Pads got jobbed here are wrong, at least in my interpretation of this. 7.06 ( ... NOTE: The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand. If you look into it further, you'll see that the rulebook does not refer to catching a thrown ball as "fielding" - "fielding" is playing a ball off of the bat. So it's basically saying he can impede the runners path if he has the ball, or he's fielding the ball off of a bat, and you can only block the plate if you have the ball. In my opinion, anyway. But whatever, it's all semantics and interpretation and the first post was as much tongue in cheek as anything, and the purpose of this post was merely to defend my thinking in my last one, not to get into an argue about the issue since it means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Even if it does mean that, it's not called that way anyway...

And for what it's worth, according to the MLB rulebook, the call at the plate was wrong... the right call would've been calling Michael Barrett for obstructing the batters path to home plate. It's never called, but a rule is still a rule.

How about some "Go crazy, folks! Go crazy!"?... Ozzie Smith, 1985 NLCS to put the Cardinals up 3-2 in the series.

I'm saying I've seen the homeplate calls talked about as being inconclusive. I watched the HR quite a bit and it looked like a clear HR to me. I'll hold off on commenting any further on the final play because I've heard people say he did touch the plate, I've seen others say he didn't, and most say it's not conclusive. I haven't yet seen it... I was watching the game at Chili's after we closed and left sometime during the celebration.

Make the argument for instant replay Gom... would've just made the game four innings shorter. I haven't seen the replays but I've heard them described as "inconclusive" -- which in the NFL means, the play stands as called. What a fantastic game. Great day to be a Rockies fan. Feels good knowing that while the Red Sox may be my team, I've supported the Rockies more than 95% of the people in that stadium tonight have.

Anybody not cheering for the Rockies sucks.

29 HR's... Right on the money with that prediction, Animal. Keep up the good work. Granted, his average does suck.

Sox in four.

I was almost put into one of those places after watching last years team play...

Ugh... Fantastic. Oh well, SD lacks offense enough that I'm not as worried as I should be. Rockies have gotten the job done this whole stretch, I trust they can do it again.

f*** yeah, Rockies!!! Wow, what a run to force the tie break game... edit: Fogg for the Rockies, probably, right? And Peavy for San Diego?

I know...

4-1 Rockies in the bottom of the 8th!!! 2nd and 3rd with no outs!

Rockies. Or cubs. :dunno:

D-Backs came back to tie and are threatening more... Fuentes in to pitch. 1-1
