| Aha! Hurdle doesn't leave in relievers more than two innings. You don't suppose we can get to this Kansas City reject, do you? |

| Three straight hits and here's Shawn as the tying run. Who's warming up for Colorado? |

We're pop-flying our way out of a big inning...
The vets haven't done it... Maybe Drew can do it?

| Do you think ESPN would be able to tell us when was the last time, in a major league baseball game, that two guys with the same name played in the same game, each on a different team, and both got a hit? |

And to split it further, hit it to each other on the field.

| OK, that worked out. Question: They don't count intentional walks in the pitch count, do they? |
It has to be a pitch to be called a ball.

Except Melvin should be committed permanently if he EVER pinch hits Easely for Drew (unless Drew gets injured). Lefty-righty mantra doesn't apply--Drew hits lefties as well or better than he does righties.... and Easley??? Fergetaboutit

Luis Gonzalez/Luis Gonzalez? I'm sure it's happened nearly every time these teams have met the last few years.

Well, OK, I won't do the research because I don't think it would significantly add to the humanity's accumulated wealth of sports knowledge.

| It's so embarassing to issue an intentional walk, then walk the next guy unintentionally. |

| Back on July 8, Brian Fuentes gave up 6 runs to us. There is hope, O Faithful Flock. |

The embarassing thing is to have your ace start, being a Cy Young candidate, and give up 7 runs.

Elias Sports Bureau keeps track of that stuff...
It's probably happened several times since Luis Gonzalez's have been on Rockies/Dbacks
Similar took place a few years ago whenever the Cubs faced the Marlins when Alex Gonzalez's played shortstop for the two clubs.

It's official: we are toast.
Doggers are idle - we didn't gain ground...
St. Louis beat Cincinnati - we didn't gain ground...
Gnats are beating the Pods - we didn't gain ground...
Sure didn't help Webb with regard to the CYA...
Depressing...
