Crap. First, I was thinking 'west coast' start, even though Denver is MTN time, so I was thinking it was just starting around now. Second, I turn it on and the Mets are getting their butts kicked.

Hey, if I showed it when down 7-1, I am truly fearless!!

What has me more excited in this game than beating the Mets is that Jimnez went 8 innings allowing just 2 hits...

Walk to strike ratio not great yet at 4 walks to 2 strike outs but only 2 hits.

ROCKIES WIN 7 - 1 ROCKIES WIN AND TACOS TOMORROW 7 BACK OF AZ

I knew he had 4 walks, did not realize he only allowed 2 hits....and if I am not mistaking, those two hits were in the first inning.

It is always the day after the Rockies score 7 or more and win, from 4 - 6 - 4 tacos for $1.00 - but only one order per person - so take help.

I have to plot out a big circle of taco bells on a map. Hit one up, eat the tacos on the way to the next one, do the same thing on the way to the next one and so on....lol

Can I just say


Hell-to-the-oooooooooooooooooooooo yessssssssssss!

DENVER -- The brace that Rockies infielder Clint Barmes strapped on his right knee Sunday morning was the only reminder that he's been on the disabled list since May 24 with a sprain.

"The brace slides down occasionally," Barmes said. "But I have no issues with the knee."

The Rockies concluded the same. They activated Barmes on Sunday, in time for the start of a three-game series with the Royals on Monday, and sent infielder Ian Stewart to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Barmes hit .278 (5-for-18) with three RBIs, a walk and a strikeout in five rehab games at Colorado Springs.

Barmes said he comes back with sharpness, something he couldn't do in 2005 when he missed 78 games with a broken collarbone.

"Hopefully, I can still hit and mix back in with the team, the way they're playing right now," said Barmes, who received a steady diet of changeups and breaking balls during his rehab stint.

A month ago, the Colorado lineup was without Barmes, right fielder Brad Hawpe, left fielder Matt Holliday and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. Now all will be back, and their return comes when the Rockies are surging -- with 12 wins in 17 games entering Sunday's finale of a three-game set with the Mets.

Barmes' .343 batting average is still the highest on the team, and he had five home runs and 20 RBIs before the injury. After starting the year as a utility player, Barmes supplanted Jayson Nix (now at Triple-A Colorado Springs) as the regular at second base. Barmes was one of the few hot Rockies during their cold start.

Manager Clint Hurdle has said the Rockies' best lineup is with Barmes at second base, even though Jeff Baker entered Sunday with a seven-game hit streak, during which he has hit .393 with four home runs, seven RBIs and three doubles, and scored 11 runs.

However, playing six Interleague road games means Hurdle can use the designated hitter, and therefore get both on the field. With Baker's ability to play both corners of the infield and right field, Hurdle can move him around for starts after the team returns to National League play.
