IGT, 10/1, San Diego vs. Colorado

[Guest Edgy DC]

What a game this is! Matsui just drove in the 6-5 go-ahead with a sac fly.

Ex-Factors:

SD:
Heath Bell
Mike Cameron, sitting out hurt for...
Brady Clark (had his greatest game as a Met in Colorado, if I recall correctly)

COL:
Jorge Julio
KazMatsui

Why I still love baseball:

Seth Smith.

He's a September call up who's had 7 MLB ABs. He gets the call from Clint Hurdle to pinch hit in the 6th inning of a tied one game playoff to decide who moves on facing the NL Cy Young front runner Jake Peavy.

Fucker hits a triple...then scores on the Matsui sac-fly.

Pretty cool.

[Guest cooby]

I'm still a little out of sorts. Is this game going to determine both the Wild Card and the NL West all in one?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Just the Wild Card. The Dbags won the West.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Both those trips might have died in Mike Cameron's glove.

This crowd is great.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Between Denver and Philly a lot of heroic baseball in the National League. The Rockies were buried deeper, later, than the Phillies ever were.

Here comes big butt Bell.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Game tied by San Diego on a Matt Holiday boner.

MVP voters: this game counts.

[G-Fafif]

Seth Smith is a tongue-twister special.

Tonight's desperate rationalization: I wouldn't want to be part of any playoffs that would have Kaz Matsui as a member.

[TransMonk]

Isn't this Yorvit Torrealba character a FA this year?

I've heard good things.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I like who we have better than Torrealba.

Heath Bell: cat-like reflexes.

Don't be a meathead. I like the Rockies becuz of Matsui.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yup.

Heath Bell is unstoppable --- four Ks in two innings. He has ability hanging over his belt.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Outta there now though. Doug Brocail

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

This is some game

[Guest Edgy DC]

I so root against Khalil Greene.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Can't imagine Coors Field hosts too many lengthy xtra inning games. This is just great.

[Zvon]

I watched the game from 7:30 to 8, saw all the scoring in the first.

I watched the whole NBC Monday night lineup, Chuck, Heroes,Journeyman.
Only tuned in to the game on commercials.
Saw all the scoring during the commercials.
Everything from the granny to the flubbed fly by Holliday.
That tied it 6-6.

And the games still on.

Now thats amazin'.

[Frayed Knot]

Would be cool to see Helton win it.

[Zvon]

Does the air up there make people run slow?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Helton should be on third. He got a late break.

It's tempting to run for him here, but I don't think I would.

[Zvon]

They also should have scored another on that single in the first.

Why Holliday stayed anchored to 2nd then was beyond me.
It was a liner 10 feet over the shortstops head on its way down.
That was a certain single.

These Rockies run like they got rocks in their drawers.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Doncha think the Rockies home unis should say ROCKIES and not COLORADO on the front?

The front and rear fonts clash too.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Tulowitzski has a cannon. Boom.

[Zvon]

="Johnny Dickshot"]Doncha think the Rockies home unis should say ROCKIES and not COLORADO on the front? The front and rear fonts clash too.

You are correct sir!

Hey its Jorge Julio. Lets see how this goes.

I was hoping the Rocks would keep that other pitcher in so we could see the Pads choppin Brocail eeeeee.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Julio

[Guest Edgy DC]

I was gonna say, "Julio."

They're just terrible all the way around. Vest-type uniforms are stupid enough, but if you are, what's the point of a black-on-black?

[Zvon]

Yea, I was rushin to get the joke up before Brocail was on the bus home.

[nymr83]

2 runs for the padres in the top of the 13th, it appears that Jorge Julio has blown the Rockies season, may he live on forever as one of baseball's memorable goats.
