Can’t resist. Jr, “First of all, someone in the dirt area has messed up if the ball gets to me.”
by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 13, 2009 4:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Larue's version:
“Hey, if the ball gets to me, someone in the dirt area (bleeped) up,” he said. "It had to get by somebody before it got to me, and it had to be a bad pitch selection to let the hitter hit it to me. "
“Playing left field here, I’m close to the home dugout. If I completely break down, it won’t take them long to drag me off the field,” Junior said.
“I’ve played outfield all my life,” he said. “I think you’re making too big a deal about this.”
Not surprised.
Nasty storm came through Utah earlier today. Only lasted about an hour, but Denver usually gets everything that comes through here 4-6 hours later.
She was just on saying they were told to go to the lunch room if the tornado does arrive...
She said, forget that, she was heading down to the tunnels under the stadium … only to be told that in the case of high winds, they have found that sometimes ‘suckage’ happens and things go flying out the tunnel
Christ, I have a dirty mind.

I like the black background for Morrow and Wash.
Marquis does sort of look huggable… he seems like the kind of guy you want to have a beer in the back yard with.
Endy is either going to hug you or attack you.
I just love these pics.

This made realize the Rockies don't have anybody in RF.
"I do not buy numbers defensively. At all," Amaro said. "I look at fielding percentage. But that other business? I don’t buy it a lick."
It's an honest mistake.
I don’t think you can really call Brad Hawpe a RF.

Ah well. If nothing else, I have the feeling of accomplishment that comes from having installed a cargo net in my trunk— one that said “easy-to-use hardware makes the net easy to install and remove” but came with no instructions as to where or how to install said hardware.

Brandon Morrow with the first major league 27 pitch perfect game.
How many runs would 9 Ichiros produce over the course of the season?
Now that would be an amazing club house. So many people streaching and working like clock work. It would be a little scary.

Hehe...
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
I think they would all be accurate statements.
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
I think he's basing it on the fact we have a lot of errors.
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! [FREED]! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!
No.
My prediction: the first 27 pitch perfect game.
Krueger's Keys to the Game make me want to napalm an orphanage.
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
I suppose something like that.
Krueger’s analysis just might drive someone to do such a thing.
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
They'll all die in car crashes.
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
Keys to the game:
1.27 Pitch perfect game for Morrow
2. Score runs and beat the other team
3. Repeat 2.
Do the Rockies ever play "We Will Rock YOU"..
Because it sounds fitting.
Whoa the Phillies made 3 errors in the first inning surprisingly Ibanez did not make one.

Griffey being called the Kid is like the band Sonic Youth, or the comedy group the Kids in the Hall
Doesn’t quite fit anymore.
As far as Beltre is concerned
June is the kindest month.
They've totally cheered him every Reds series since 2000
by Graham MacAree on Jun 13, 2009 5:57 PM PDT up reply actions
A part of me would like to see a situation where we make the playoffs
And in the fifth game of the ALDS, in extra innings and with Junior on first representing the winning run, Beltre strokes a double to left field. I’d love to see the modern Griffey try to leg that out.
I really would not because I'd get angry when he was thrown out by 70 feet
by Graham MacAree on Jun 13, 2009 5:58 PM PDT up reply actions
That's why only a part of me would like to see that.
The same part that wonders what would happen if Idaho blew up, or the Mariners were to literally never win again.

But that would never happen.
No, it won't happen.

I like that Scott Podsednik is in one of the Rockies commercials
and he didn’t make the team out of Spring training and now plays for the White Sox.
So, let's see.
Morrow’s starting, and we’re playing Griffey in LF.

Yuni at shortstop and Burke at catcher.
Although, I would argue Burke is an upgrade over Rob Johnson at this point.
I've thought Burke should have been the starter as soon as Joh went on the DL.
Given that Jeffycakes has no knees left. >:(

That was quite similar to the first inning.
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
This is the start Morrow was supposed to have against the Yankees
having that game might be the worst thing Morrow’s ever done for himself.
I think contracting AIDS was the worst thing Morrow ever did for himself

I'm sure whoever came up with the name was talking about their hitting
but someone from PR thought they could put a positive spin on it.
We have such an awesome offense.
I wish Yuni was the last out of the inning so Wak could do a double-switch with a new pitcher and shortstop.
Weird.
Those plays were pretty good.

He could be good.
He was ultra awesome in a really small sample size two years ago.
The samples are probably all too small to get any true idea of what he’s like.

I am going to tell my grandchildren the story of, nay legend of, Ken Griffey Jr.
as we sit around a campfire.
In the sense that his legendary acts happened in the past, he actually meets it pretty well.
It’s just he isn’t going to be adding much to that legend now.

Apparently.
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
When I was younger, there was a period of time where I called him "Ken Whiffey Loser"
I think I’ll start calling him that again.
That's the weird thing.
He was my favorite player. I don’t remember every having a reason to call him that.

Save game threads I've barely been around lately.
I have missed a ton.
This is likely.
And the team seems to like losing the first game of the series lately, only to win the following two.
Why would he waste his time with Jakubauskas, when Russell Branyan is on this team?
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
Or with tears in his eyes.
