Ouch

The Sox are hot and it has made their fans unbearable. The Rockies are a very, very good team. Their defense is great. Their pitching is suspect, at least last night. That might have just been moss. The strikezone was inconsistent, but it ceased to matter when the Rockies forgot how to throw strikes. I quit on this game in about the 6th. Maybe the fact that the Rox bullpen didn't surrender a run after the 5th can be a kind of salve.

Beckett got calls early that Francis didn't. But then Beckett quit getting the outside edge later. He does this hilarious thing where he stares in and walks towards the plate when he doesn't get a call. It leads me to believe that he is kind of a bitch.

If this Rockies team has character, they will bounce back. And they will win my eternal respect if they put a pin in the hot air baloon that is Red Sox Nation.

The Jays swept both of these teams at different points in the season. They swept the Rox (Peaches almost no hit them) and then swept a rather pathetic looking Red Sox team late in the year. So momentum can make a team look fantastic or really, really bad.

My dad has a baseball crush on Troy Tulowitzki.
