I was considering a post called “May we come to a concensus?” re Byrnes, Q and Hairston; with the body to suggest we all agree to agree that Byrnes is not hitting well, that Q and Hairston don’t play for us anymore; and then move on.

Your visual, however, says it all.

For the picture alone.

The picture says it all :)

Argh as much as the NL East is owning us this year I did enjoy the early starts which is code for im damn tired and won’t make this one as usual :(

Hoping Webby can just make it same old same old and having Hudson back in the lineup will hopefully help from a defensive point of view anyway.

a first baseman’s glove to anybody but Burke. Chris’ versatility is nice and I don’t mind him on the roster, but the fact that he has more at bats than Augie and Salazar is simply apalling.

Or maybe we could just end this Robby Hammock charade altogether and call up Trot Nixon. Hammock has two at bats in the last sixteen games. He’s only played defense once and it was in a blow out.

Hell, if a third catcher is that important, why not bring up D’Antona who can be an emergency catcher.

I am still eagerly awaiting your assessment on what BoMel’s decision to replace Byrnes instead Upton in the ninth inning of a one-run game means in regards to their relative defensive values.

True, Byrnes was the last out of the inning, but Upton would only be one spot higher in the order. I have to believe that if one player’s defense is a “9” and the other’s a “3.5”, that’s a small price to pay.

Yep, think I’m ready.

At Chase tonight.

Immediate redemption as Reynolds starts the double-play round the horn. Webb faces the minimum and we’re good to go.

Advert featuring Randy Johnson is…almost disturbing.

I think we’ll see motion on the basepaths, and Grace reckons so too.

RBI single for Hudson and we’ve got the lead. Three straight hits to begin the game. Still two on, but one in now…

Does this pizza taste really good, when accompanied by a side order of runs. :-)

It’s really very nice to start innings off with hits strung together.

Pitch selection by Upton there – swinging at a pitch that would have hit him for strike three!.He looked like a twenty-year old there…oh, hang on. :-)

Looked rather more promising before the K and the double-play. Still, we have the lead!

I think, to make it a fair fight, Webb should only be used to allow his sinker OR his change-up. :-)

Just finished dinner. How’s our ace looking? Will 1 run be enough?

Ground rule double!

Burke with a ground rule 2B! First XBH of the yr!

Randy almost put one out the other day….

what’s different between the Rockies vs. Webb last year and the Rockies vs. Webb this year?

Minimum for Webb through three. 29 pitches to date.

humorous situations and hot chicks to stupid and boring? (I’m looking at YOU, blind Miller Lite guy, looking at YOU, beer heaven, looking at YOU, any commercial bragging about Miller Lite and the World Beer Cup, looking at YOU, ANY commercial that ends by talking about “The Great American Lager”....)

That having been said, I still laugh at the commercials where the fat guy comes to take away the High Life.
