So, if there's a stolen base in this series, we all get a free taco from Taco Bell.

Yes, on the 30th between 3 and 5PM, you can have mine. Watch for the rats.

[Valadius]

Okajima has an awesome delivery.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is ithe inning to do it for the Rocks.

Matsui facing Okajima here, 8th inning 1 out, 0 on, 2-1 sawx

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holliday: Not just a bad runner, a really bad one.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Didn't think the Red Sox would win a low-scoring game, especially on a night Beckett wasn't pitching. Wrong again.

[Fman99]

Is it too much to ask the Rox to win a game or two and make a series of this thing? So far Dice-K has been very hittable this postseason.

[Centerfield]

How does a guy like Okajima even think to try that anyway.

"I'm an average middle reliever. Maybe if I jerk my head violently to the right during my delivery to such a degree that I am throwing blindly, it will give me more life on my fastball, let me try that..."

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He reminds me of those olde-timey pitching machines with the arm that whips overhead in as perfect arc, but you know there's all these oily gears beneath making it happen.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Only guy watching Game 3, looks like.

I really thought the Rocks were going to get back into it last inning. Spillborgs killed that ball but instead of a 3rHR making it 6-5, it's 6-2 Bosox in the 7th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Kaz rocks. Leadoff bingle. Steals second.

Rocks determined to make a game and a series of this.

[Valadius]

Tulowitski is going to be a star.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

There it is! 3-run shot by Holliday off Okajima!

[Valadius]

KABOOM!!!

They're baaaaack...

[Valadius]

Tying run aboard, nobody out.

[Frayed Knot]

Julio Lugo had a sub-.300 OBA this season and the Rox walked him twice tonight - both times either starting, or continuing to, major rallies.

Can't be doin that.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Julio F. Lugo ruined everything last night. Offense and defense.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh, it's the 7th inning of Game 4 the Rockies trail 3-1 (Hawpe just homered).

F it, I'll take another game if I can get it.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Timlin says, F you, Johnny Lunchbucket. Baseball ends tonight.

[metirish]

That was it wasn't it?

[Frayed Knot]

Disappointing series over all.
I didn't think Colorado was going to win but I thought they'd make a better showing of it.



This Ellsbury kid looks good but he's also getting every conceivable break on the planet. Everytime he puts his bat on the ball it's falling just out of the reach of someone.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rockies have themselves to blame but the 9-day layoff appears not have helped much.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Roxx will rally here, get 2 maybe, then give them back in the 9th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I swear I wrote that ^ before Atkins' HR.

[Valadius]

They ain't dead yet.

Atkins brings Rox within 1.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Does His Holiness have five outs in him?
