Thread: The Official Colorado Rockies thread--Now with extra awesome!!

Great outing from DLR, 8 IP, 4H, 2 runs, but Hamels beat him by a run.

Smith lead off dbl in 9th, Cargo, Tulo, Giambi struck out. (2nd strike call on Jason was way outside)

Giambi might not get many hits but the few he gets, he will hit them to Alaska.

WOW - Jason just hit his SECOND homerun

HOLY COW - Jason just hit his THIRD homerun of the night

Damn, totally forgot about the early start tonight. Apparently I picked a bad 1/2 game to miss.

Not all is lost Buff - right now - 7 - 1 Rockies - tacos tomorrow

It took until his 2,054th game, but Jason Giambi has the first three-homer night of his career. He hit a three-run shot in the first and two-run blasts in the third and fifth.

Someone check Giambi for roids.....wait.

Monster game!

Seeing reports that Franklin Morales traded to Red Sox for PTBN or cash.

Can Paulino be sent for some clam chowder?

PHILADELPHIA -- With one mighty cut after another, Jason Giambi looked like the old Giambino.

Giambi became the second-oldest player to hit three homers in a game and tied his career high with seven RBIs, leading the Colorado Rockies past the Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 Thursday night.

"It's nice to contribute and get an opportunity to play," said Giambi, who started at first base because Todd Helton had a stiff back. "It's exciting, something you dream about."

From Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe comes word that the Red Sox are working on a trade for Rockies left-hander Franklin Morales.

Morales has displayed significant control problems this season out of the Rockies’ bullpen and is currently the owner of a poor 11/8 K/BB ratio. But he has allowed just six runs in 14 innings for a 3.86 ERA and the Red Sox may be thinking that they can reel in his command issues. He has the ability to start as well, which is probably intriguing for a team missing Daisuke Matsuzaka and dealing with Josh Beckett‘s sudden neck stiffness.

The 25-year-old Morales has posted a 4.83 career ERA over four-plus major league seasons.

Abraham has no other details at this time and no other news outlet is providing information.

UPDATE: The trade is now official, according to Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal. The Red Sox will receive Morales for a player to be named later or future cash considerations. Hideki Okajima has been designated for assignment to clear a spot on Boston’s roster.

I still think Stewart needs a change of scenery to find his confidence. Maybe we bring him up at the end of the year when the roster expands, but I don't see him coming up before then unless someone gets hurt.

Paulino needs to go now. Let him shower then send him out.

Two blown saves? Really?
