Today, I really didn’t feel like posting today and even though I currently don’t have as much readers as I would like, I still feel the need to post! So here we go. Rockies once again held off the A’s for its second straight win. So we saw it, they went from a disappointing series loss against the Angels to coming into Oakland and potentially sweeping the series this afternoon. So far, we are seeing a completely different Rockies team than we have ever seen in its history. They get leads and are now learning to hold them until the end of the game. Something that is very rare to see from a Rockies team we have all watched for so long.Todd Helton is playing baseball like he’s part of the old school power hitting Rockies teams of the 90’s. Hitting, hitting, and some more hitting. We were all skeptical about how he would play coming off of back surgery and a bad 2008 season caused by the back. Well, he’s back and here to say. Now, I would love to see him in the All Star game but to be realistic, there are so many big named first basemen now in the National League, he really has no shot. Someone who does have a shot though and has about a 99% chance of making the team is Brad Hawpe. There will be two Rockies who make this year’s All Star team and that will be Brad Hawpe and Jason Marquis. There are no way the players or the manager of the NL can leave these guys off the roster. Marquis is among the top of the NL in wins and Brad Hawpe seems to be in the top 5 in every hitting category. If these guys don’t get the invite, it will truly be another great MLB blunder once again screwing us, the fans. Vote on mlb.com for Hawpe.
Go Rockies
