Well, I’m a little late today on the post, been really busy. So the Rockies have won 7 in a row. The surprising thing is not that they have won 7 in a row; it’s that they have won 7 in a row on the road. Throughout the Rockies history, they have been not so good on the road. This is why I find this so surprising. During their run in 2007, they played a lot of home games and had that to their advantage, but now, it’s been all on the road. Cooky going tonight for the sweep of the first place Brewers, we have a good shot at this. We are slowly but surely climb in the standings in the NL west. Really, I’m just glad we are not in last. It’s just embarrassing to be last in such a weak division.
Jim Tracy has set the mind set and the players are now doing what they are suppose to, having fun playing baseball for millions and winning. I don’t know about you, but if I were just making league minimum I would be busting my tail for wins. Right now, for once this season, it really feels good to be a Rockies fan. Im pretty exhausted so just a couple notes. Clint Barmes is hitting the cover off the ball in the 2 hole and Brad Hawpe is on a 12-game hitting streak. Tulo has also hit 2 home runs as well in the series, so that’s good news for the hitting. If the line up hits like they are suppose to, they will be among the most feared in the league. Also, Ian Stewart had proven himself and it’s time to trade Garret Atkins for some pitching. Maybe a 4th or 5th starter or a middle reliever. He has not done his job this year and Stewart is hitting them a mile out of the park. Just a thought.
Okay, so this is how out of it I am. I didn't even know the Rockies played this afternoon. THEY WON! 8 in a row! Cook moves to 5-3 and guess who did it again, Ian Stewart with another home run, yes, good bye Atkins, thanks for the memories. More on this win tomorrow!
Go Rockies.
Go Rockies.
