Hang in there, Denver.
The Red Sox are invading. Let’s show them how real people behave (courteously, not like assholes with extreme entitlement issues) and then show them how real outfields treat fake outfielders. I can’t help but be an optimist: this series is going to be the most dramatic in recent memory. It’s going to fit the rest of the Rockies season perfectly; in other words, gentlemen, start your defibrillators. In the end, though, we’re going to come out on top.
Josh Fogg is pitching Saturday, and before the series began, I felt good about him being on the mound for game 3 should the Rockies lose the first two. He’s that calming, reliable influence that we desparately need right now. We figured out their hitters tonight, and if the offense can get going and the pitching can build on Thursday’s performance, we’ve got them right where we want them.
To all you Boston fans honking your horns and yelling outside my window right now: get ready for a quiet weekend.

I agree Fogg is a decent choice for game 3 (although I might want Cook, given that the game 3 starter also would get game 7 in Boston should we need it), but how bout a lineup shakeup. Willy T has done next to nothing on offense this series (and games 3 and 4 of the NLCS), unless you count foul bunts and taking one for the team. His defense is fine, but his arm might have cost us a run in game 1 (I know, meaningless, except the game was close at the time). But how bout changing the lineup. Put Cory Sullivan in center, hitting 8th. Put Kaz in leadoff, and put Tulo second. I really think the lineup should have been changed last night, with Willy going to the 9 spot, and Seth Smith repalcing Spilly and batting 7th, and with Kaz and Tulo 1 and 2. Don’t know that that would mean we win, but Clint should shake things up to try to get the offense going, or even great pitching from Fogg won’t be enough.
