WOW!!!

1-5 to start the season, with a 5 game losing streak.

Well I guess if you are going to slump, slump early. It doesn't feel too good to be swept at home by the D-backs.

A young team will have a break out year (though I don't think any have had the type of year the Rockies had last year), and they will digress in year 2, then in year 3, they emerge again, this time as an experienced contender. It happened to the Indians last year, and that's why I expect them to have a big year. If you look around the West, the Rocks and the D-Backs are kind of in the same situation. Don't be surprised if the Padres emerge as the front-runners and the Dodgers as the up-start. I see the West as one of the best divisions in baseball in the next five-seven years. The talent wealth in the West is amazing. Tulowitski, Holliday, Atkins, Iannetta for the Rocks...Jackson, Drew, Upton for the D-Backs...Kemp, Loney, Eithier for the Dodgers...Kouzmanoff for the Padres. That's a lot of talent.

nice sweep by the d-backs

Oh, I am not worried. If you saw my post from the other night, it said 162 game season, 159 to play.

Well we have 156 left now.

Its a long season. Once we find our bats, this team will hit their stride. Helton is hot, Tulo started coming around today, Holliday had a clutch HR in the bottom of the 9th...they showed a little life on offense today, but still failed to score.

Franklin looked really good today, but it was evident after that that our bullpen is still a weak part of the team. I was really hoping Corpas would come in and end the game.

oh well, In come the Braves tomorrow.

Well that sucked. D-Backs woke up late. Not going to be fun facing them this year since it looks like they will score runs, they already lead the leauge in HR's. Morales had a shaky but solid outing which was big. Just waiting on the bats. Bucholz looked good out of the pen, he is going to be a big arm for us this year in long/7th ining guy.

Alright, good luck to the team today, playing against Glavine (?).

Let's get some hits. Holliday finally got a spark, hopefully he's back in gear for the long season.
