No postgame radio show?

Makes sense.

BTW I don't know why Rengifo doesn't get more love around here. He's a good homegrown ballplayer, I think he led the MLB in BA until the All Star Break? And his defense is sharp, considering no matter where you put him in the field he comes through.

My bad.

It's a frustrating team. They'll have a feel-good win followed by a dispiriting loss where the offense is asleep except for a solo home run. Rockies are a horrible team.

Okay, not to fear. Trent Rush is on the air. The spin master. Feeling better already.

Rockies pitching dominated.  Hard to believe, though the Angels were  just one costly  pitch worse.

Not much help this seasons from the veteran hitters. Pillar and Drury are wasted roster spots now. 

The sac bunt didn't factor in the situation enough. Too automatic. A stolen base, hit and run, another walk all could have moved the runner and saved an out. And swinging away against that pitcher wouldn't have been the worst option. 

At least Daniel showed that he can regain his form. For how long is yet to be determined.

I will admit that I just completely forgot about them today.  I usually try to make time to post a Gameday Thread even if I'm busy with work and won't actually be watching the game itself.  But it just slipped my mind today--and I actually feel good about that, tbh.  I just checked the boxscore, and losing a 2-1 game to the Rockies is just about the least interesting outcome I can imagine.

I did. I chose to ignore that.

I thought there was something wrong with the site or maybe my phone since nobody seemed to be posting anywhere period.

This team is so uninteresting that people are moving on, except me and a few others, gluttons for punishment. Or maybe it's the Olympics. Has it stopped raining in Paris?

Where is everyone?  Probably doing something more fun like an insurance seminar?

@Tank organized a group root canal session.  We all had a blast.

*edit* Also just got absolutely robbed on that strike call.

There always seems to be one guy that people criminally undervalue -- currently it's Rengifo.

credit where credit is due . . . it was @Inside Pitch's idea to get matching crowns with the radio transmitters inside.
