Finally A Victory!

Recap of Last Night's Win

Well, after what felt to be 100 losses, the Rockies pulled out a win yesterday! And it was a good win too!

It looked a bit hairy there at times, and I'm gonna admit to you all that I crashed halfway through the top of the 8th inning. I was really tired though, and my bed was so cozy warm! Plus I had a Spanish test today so I guess it is best that I went to bed.

But, I am thrilled with the win last night. We needed that so badly, not only for our record but to boost our spirits a little bit.

Despite the win, one bad thing did happen. As I am sure you all know, Franklin Morales left the game in the third inning due to soreness in his arm. Frankie is listed as "day-to-day" and will probably miss his next start. There is talk that Jason Hammel may start. Click here for more.

Well, I'm not going to pretend this injury doesn't bother me. I am mostly worried about the idea of Hammel starting. Remember when Taylor Buchholz started a couple games for us in 200...7? I think it was 2007. But yeah, that was iffy. Of course the difference is that Taylor never wanted to start while Hammel would like to.


Rockies All-Stars

In other news, Thomas Harding has posted one of his most exciting articles yet(at least in my opinion) on the Rockies website. Could Brad Hawpe be an All-Star this season? Click here to see what Mr. Harding thinks.

I'm sure you know what I think! I've been saying all off season that this is going to be "Hawpe's year" and I am going to stick by that all season. I just hope he doesn't prove me wrong. Have I mentioned on here before how much I love Brad Hawpe? He is such a key player on our team, he has the ability to carry this team, and yet he has hardly any national attention. Oh wait, this is the Rockies of course our players don't have media attention. Hawpe could totally make the All-Star game, especially with our help! Don't forget to vote ladies! We can begin voting online on TODAY. And of course there will be paper ballots at the park. Anyway, I just need to shout out to my best friend in the whole world Sarah who is one of Hawper's biggest fans!


Random Stuff

So...do you know who is the biggest...idiot in all of baseball? Maybe idiot isn't the best word. But I sure enjoy making fun of him. Milton Bradley. Do you all remember when he went crazy on Bud Black and the ump against us? The same game where Garrett Atkins hit one of the most hilarious in-the-park homeruns ever? Well I know this was random, but I just have to tell you how much I laugh when I see Milton...I saw he was going to be suspended again, it must have been over ruled, and I fell out of my chair. Who do you guys like to make fun of? haha.


So the Rockies play the D'Bags...excuse me, the D'Backs again today. We have De La Rosa on the mound against Dan Haren. Should be a fun game.

And to those of you who have facebook accounts, you totally need to check out the Beat the Streak application. You pick a player that you think will get a hit and try and get the longest streak of hitters. I've picked Brad Hawpe for the last three days...day one wasn't so great. But last night worked out okay. It is really fun so try it!

Oh yeah...new poll up! Please vote without bias, you know what I mean. :P Also, that last poll results say that we think Dexter Fowler will steal the most bases this season! We'll see!

Go Rockies!
