I know - STUPID MONEY - guess I don't understand - if you hear it live on the radio, it is free, but if you miss it, and want to hear it on the site, you have to pay money to subscribe

Stupid Jim Rome for not sending the tape to Snapp!

Troy Tulowitzki is proud to be a Dirtbag

Thu Sep 20, 12:55 PM ET

By Stan McNeal -


With the season Brewers third baseman Ryan Braun is having, it's easy to get overshadowed in the N.L. rookie class. But don't forget about the Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki. He has set the N.L. rookie record for shortstops with 21 home runs, and he leads N.L. rookies in games, runs and hits.

He does not consider offense to be his strong suit. Tulowitzki has made only 11 errors -- 11 fewer than Braun has made at third.
"If you ask anyone else, they'll probably say I'm an offensive shortstop, but I take more pride in my defense. I would rather save a run than drive in a run."

He took advantage of the opportunity to meet his idol, Derek Jeter, when the Yankees came to Coors Field in June.
"I went up to him in batting practice and told him how much I respected him and how he plays the game. He talked to me for a while, told me to keep working and I'd be a good player."

The visit prompted a purchase for his teammates.
"I bought a bunch of bottles of his cologne and handed it out to the guys. We had some fun with it. A bunch of us still keep it in our lockers, and we'll wear it sometimes. It's not the best-smelling cologne ever, but it's OK."

He believes in rookie calls.
"You have to earn the umpires' respect in the league, and I think that's the way it should be. These guys have played for a long time, and they definitely should get the benefit of the doubt on close calls."

He has already been involved in two triple plays. He turned an unassisted triple play against the Braves in April and was on base when Matt Holliday lined into a triple play at Philadelphia last week.
"I'd never been in even one before this year. Both were over with so quickly, it was like no one knew what to do. I kept tagging guys to make sure I had three outs, and in the other one Chase Utley threw the ball to third when he didn't need to just to make sure."

He is proud to have been a Dirtbag.
"I went to Long Beach State because I wanted to go to a college to improve my skills. The head coach, Mike Weathers, is known for having a good rapport with infielders, especially shortstops. The program is known for working hard and playing the game the right way. It was the best decision of my life."

That's interesting Med, cuz I feel exactly the same way. I make no secret of the fact that the Rockies are the only other National League team I like.

So... with my team having collapsed like a cardboard box in a hailstorm, here's to the Rockies getting the sweep this week and rolling into October!

There are so many scenarios out there yet, with so few games to play. One that was brought up today, is that Philadelphia still could overtake the Mets and win that division - then it would throw the Mets into the wildcard picture.

ALSO, it was brought up that the Rockies could still WIN their division. Of course, that would be the best of the best.

This has been one EXCITING season. It seems to me a lot of people knock the NL West, dont give any of the teams much respect, but geezus its a tough division to be in! I love how you cant really say who is going to win...its TAHT FREAKING CLOSE!


I cant concentrate on anything right now. I can barely type this post. I cant read. Cant do my math HW. NOTHING. Because I am so damn ANTSY.

Sad thing is that I have to sit through a class tonight before the game. Hopefully it will help kill the time! <---this is me!

You know Jeter was wondering why all the Rox smelled funny when they ran past him!

Our division is just as good as any division in the NL. I am sure sitting through your class will help kill time - BUT - will you remember anything that was said in the class?
