Rockies are hot and Baker earns a spot

7/23/08

Congrats to Jeff Baker.

Jeff has hit .333 this month and has earned himself a permanant spot at second base. Heres a recent quote from Jeff:

”It’s just fun playing, it’s fun coming in and seeing your name on the lineup and knowing you’re going to go out there and get more (at-bats) to help your team win that day.”

So this opens up the question.

What to do with Clint Barmes? Clint has been great this year.

Hurdle is considering possibly using him in an outfield position.

Do it Barmes.

Take whatvever job they offer you.

Shoot, tell them you’ll be the flippin batboy as long as you can stay part of this team. A job is a job, catching a ball is catching a ball. At the end of the month the morgage is due brotha..Good Job, you at least deserve a spot in this lineup.

Coors Field was the place today for the Rockies vs Dodgers. This was game three of a split set.

Rockies won today 5-3.

We nailed this series.

I love beating the Dodgers. Mostly because I hate losing to them. Dam, that sounds like something Yogi would say.

Glendon Rusch gets the win today allowing three runs on seven hits in a respectable five inning outing.

Ian Stewart has continued his hitting streak and now has hits in five games. He went two for three today.

Brian Fuentes now holds the record for consecutive batters retired at twenty three. The old record was held by Tim Harikkala. Congrats Tito..you sneaky southpaw

The Rockies went six and one in this last homestand and are now 6.5 games behind the D-Backs for first in the Divison.
