It was nice to get a win, especially against God. It was nice to have Day Banny back to stop the losing streak. Tejeda and Soria game a nice 3 innings of relief striking out 5 of the 9 batters.

Nine hits, nine singles, 9 runners LOB, 1 for 7 with RISP. This offense has zero pop right now.

No game tomorrow. i will get an "Completely Open Discussion Thread" up in the morning and plan to do a quick look to see how many runs Kendall is costing us batting 2nd.

If baseball followed the domino theory, the Rockies would be in pretty good shape right now.

Open Thread 6/23: Braves at White Sox

post from Talking Chop on 23 June 2010 08:01:43 PM. © Talking Chop

After a not so great game 1, the Braves will try to rebound against a hot White Sox team. It'll be two veterans on the the mound. Tim Hudson goes for the Braves and Mark Buehrle will counter for the Sox.

Even though we lost game 1, remember that the Braves also lost the first game to both Minnesota and Tamba Bay. This series can still be won.

Jimmy Rollins took a big swing, stood at home plate and watched the ball soar into the seats. Before he even reached first base, the dugout had already emptied and his teammates were waiting for him. Rollins hit the first game-ending homer of his career, a two-run shot with one out in the ninth inning [...]
