Still no Guzman, Zimmerman, or Dukes.

This game (series) is going to be a bloodbath.

At least with Guz and Zimmerman out we get to see Gonzalez a little more. I mean, we know what we have in these guys, let's give the unknowns a shot.

hmm still wonder why no Dukes atleast. Leg bothering him or maybe hes late again lol.

KyleScha · « **Reply #4 on:** August 04, 2008, 08:42:02 pm »

Do you think Guzman really jammed his hand on a pitch? I mean it happens and it hurts but to miss 10 games over something like that?

Air Zimmerman · « **Reply #5 on:** August 04, 2008, 08:45:34 pm »

damn, Dukes is out again along with Zimmerman and Guzy. i thought for sure Dukes would be back tonight.

o well, playing in Colorado should aid this revitalized offense. we gotta carry the energy from the weekend to Colorado.

LETS GO NATS!!!

I thought they were calling Duke's injury a charlie horse

KyleScha · « **Reply #7 on:** August 04, 2008, 08:54:57 pm »

I have to imagine that if this team were in contention all 3 would be in the lineup today.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 04, 2008, 08:56:35 pm »

Holliday and Knight just said they "feel good" about tonight's game because Redding is pitching.

Since the All-Star break, Redding is 0-3 with a 7.88 ERA.

The opposing starter, Aaron Cook, leads the NL in IP and is second in wins (14) to only Webb. He is also a sinker-baller which does not bode well at all for us.

Knight and Holliday were floating the idea of Guzman coming back playing first. I wouldn't be opposed to that; couldn't really be worse than Kory "Mendoza Line" Casto starting there every night batting 6th.

Still no Guzman, Zimmerman, or Dukes.

If the result of this is a DL stint I will never believe the FO again.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:04:21 pm »

We are 0-7 in our last 7 games at Coors Field.

I specifically remember the Chief blowing a 5-run lead in the 9th last season.

wisefan11 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:05:08 pm »

Seriously, we have like a three player bench tonight. Orr, Belliard, Nieves. Am I forgetting anyone? Good luck Manny.

Yeah that was really painful.

Unfortunately , it seems like the majority of our lineup is flirting with the line.

Bright side- we had a five run lead going into the ninth

wisefan11 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:09:11 pm »

What was up with the man-love between EBone and Cook? Where's the killer instinct?

HalfSmokes · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:11:08 pm »

fun game- who in our starting lineup would play start for colorado today- Flores over Iannetta?

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #18 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:12:06 pm »

See, this is what I don't like about Milledge. That pitch was right over the heart of the plate. How can he not even make contact with that?

Obed_Marsh · « **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:12:10 pm »

And the first ends with a whimper.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:14:13 pm »

They are going to beat the crap out of Redding more than likely.

wisefan11 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:15:43 pm »

Looks like the start of another long night.

HalfSmokes · « **Reply #22 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:15:48 pm »

0-14 against the worst division in baseball- nice stat

Redding does not look sharp.
