Coincidence? I think not.

Is it worth starting a new thread? This game is ridiculous.

OT
Anyone here seen the Rays’ team video on the fist bump? It’s friggen hilarious:

And again Rowand misplays a ball in the OF….

Tim Alderson is pitching for San Jose tonight. Three innings no runs and 4Ks.

Gamers misjudge fly balls….
okay, that was a double all the way
Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.
by ResDog on Jun 10, 2008 7:51 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I know its Coors and the OF is big...
but let’s face it, Rowand is not Andruw Jones circa 2000, there’s no reason he should be playing so shallow, even if its Omar Quintinilla.

I think Rowand too a bad angle

I gotta pause the box when that one comes on, then skip over it after an appropriate amount of time. Don’t want the little girls seeing that one.

THINGS I HATE
1. The Rockies cheating with the humidor
2. The Rockies huge home/road split
3. The Rockies
by SnowLeopard on Jun 10, 2008 8:06 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
i’m surprised MLB hasn’t done anything about this yet. They have to know how rampantly the Rockies cheat.
by positiveuphemism on Jun 10, 2008 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
My theory
it’s a mercy clause.
In the post-humidor years, when the Rox have been not a billion games out, their usual massic home/road has been a lot less.

Thank You Alex Hinshaw and Vinnie Chulk
You helped to improve my fantasy teams’ offense tonight by serving up HR’s to Atkins and Helton. I guess if we are to lose, me benefitting from it somehow is a plus.
by Hobbes2d on Jun 10, 2008 8:11 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Alex Hinshaw has two blackbelts! I want to see him drill someone and have the hitter charge the mound and get their ass kicked.

Does he really?
"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

They just showed the JT-picks-up-Darren-Baker clip. I was at that game and was watching the ball come in from the outfield and didn’t see JT crossing the plate. I looked up and saw JT holding Baker and thought WTF?

A kid like horowitz in the mix allows you to trade Winn and hopefully get something good in return.

"The Hor" does not
have speed, power, or much of an eye.
Yet another SFG prospect whose value is largely dependent on batting average. (that, and he makes a perfect chicken cacciatore).
