Rockies Fall Short to Dodgers
5/31/13
Dodgers @ Rockies
Game 1
The day started out very early for me since I had training downtown then managed to make my way over to Coors and was there at about 1:45 in the afternoon looking to see who I could get. After waiting a few hours and not getting anyone I decided to call it and head to Jacksons to get some grub with Rox Addict!
Once gates opened I headed inside for BP! The Rockies only hit a few out and so once the Dodgers started I didn’t stay and headed over to their wall. Nothing was signed and it was essentially a bad day for graphs.
On the mound for the Rockies tonight was Jon Garland and on the mound for the Dodgers was Clayton Kershaw.
The first two innings was very good for both pitchers going 1-2-3 each inning but in the third is where Garland hiccupped and the Dodgers took advantage. Uribe doubled which scored Luis Cruz, Mark Ellis then singled which scored Uribe and then Adrian Gonzalez singled which scored Ellis, making it 3-0 Dodgers on top.
In the top of the 4th the Dodgers decided they needed another run so the pitcher Kershaw doubled which scored Scott Van Slyke and Juan Uribe. 5-0 Dodgers.
Finally in the bottom of the 4th the Rockies got on the board with a single by Cuddy which scored Dex and then a ground out by baby bull that scored Tulowitzki. 5-2 Dodgers.
The rest of the game was pitched very well on both sides not giving up any runs until the Bottom of the 8th Rosario grounded out again but it scored Dex. 5-3 Dodgers still on top.
In the bottom of the 9th is when the real magic began! With 1 out and 1 on in Todd Helton came into the PH and smacked one to the second deck of right field tying it up at 5. This got the stadium alive and people were ready for a win.
In the bottom of the 10th though Betancourt gave up 2 runs which essentially lost it for us.
It was another tough game to watch and now it is making me think I we are the team that we were last year. This team was doing so well and now they are not. Pitching is horrible yet again and we can’t seem to hit with runners in scoring position. This team needs to figure it out before the fall below .500 and fall too far behind!
This is where I’m leaving this one! This is also my last game for a while since I have to temporary live in the springs due to my internship but will try and make it to as many as I can!
Thanks to everyone who has been reading and following!

How Sweep It Is? Or Is It Even Considered a Sweep?
4/18/13
Relief pictures headed to Bullpen
Even though the Mets and Rockies only got three games in The Rockies won all three. I’m not sure if it is considered a sweep or if it isn’t because they didn’t get one game in. O well let’s call it what it is… that is a WIN!
Lopez bundled up
Dex warming up
It was a day game and I had class before the game and showed up about 30 minutes before the game started. There were only about 10 of us on the wall and yet no one signed for us. O well!

We ended up sitting down the first baseline in row 3 and enjoyed the game and the nice weather.
The Mets and Rockies both got out to an early start by each scoring a run in the first inning.

Garland was on the mound for the Rockies while Niese was the starter for the Mets.

After the fast start in the 1st it was a great pitching duel until the 4th when the Rockies scored by a solo homerun by Josh Rutledge. Rockies up 2-1 until Mr. David Wright singles which scores another one and ties it up at 2.
Bottom of the 6th Tulo singled which scored Cargo and put the Rockies back on top 3-2.

In the next inning the Rockies opened up their lead by scoring 6 in the 7th and 1 in the 8th while the Mets only score 1 in the top of the 8th.
The Rockies ended up winning this one 3-11.
This was a great game and even more it was great weather!
We hung after the game and talked to a few of the guys! Ended up FINALLY getting a picture with Nelly, talked with Brooklyn, and just hung out together which was a nice way to wind down from the series win!
This was another short post but still have 6 posts for this next week!

Sweeping the Cubs for the Last Homestand of 2012
Last BP of the season
This was the last home series for the Rockies in the rough 2012 season. I actually found time to go to all the games so I was at Coors a lot this week. This was weird because it had been pretty empty for the past games but because it was the Cubs it was more full than normal.
The first game was pretty cloudy but I hung out with Rachel, EB, Rox Addict, Jared, and Jersey Geoff. This was another busy game where I did not get many photos because 1. it was cold and 2. it started to rain.
It was a rain out game but they got in 6 ½ innings and so the Rockies walked way this one wet but with a score of 10-5.
Torres waitin in the rain to hit

The second game was the same way cold and wet but they ended up playing the rest of the game and Jared and I were able to sit second row above the dugout which were sweet seats! The Rockies Walked away with this one dryer than the night before with a shutout win of 6-0.
The last game of the season was a day game and it as packed downtown! I ended up going down very early to hang with friends and to see if anyone would stop! Some of the guys did stop which was awesome! Coach Dauer, Andrew Brown, Eric Young Jr., and Josh Outman. The two guys of the morning though were Matt Belisle and Dexter Fowler. They both pulled up and got out of their cars and walked over to all of us and told us thank you for all the support this season along with signing some autographs and just being class acts. This meant more to me than anything this season, for two guys to get out of their cars and just say thanks was more than any of us could have asked for!

The game was a good game and I ended up sitting with Jersey Geoff. It was pretty packed and so finding a seat was kind of complicated but I ended up in the 4th row which I couldn’t complain.

The Rockies ended up sweeping the Cubs with 7-5 win. Great way to end the last home series that is for sure!
O ya JP Hit a homerun to put the Rockies up and he was the player of the game!
After the game all the guys walk around and throw out Promotional items from the season and I actually ended up with Baby Bulls hat! Awesome to make connections with a player and to have him throw me his hat was amazing!
Thanks to Mike who took this when Baby Bull was giving me the horns!
After we stood out back to watch the guys drive out and then went to Fodo’s and the Chop House for dinner!
It was a bad season but great season for interactions! I still at least one more post for this season but look for posts in the off-season! I’ looking to interact with some of the players and see what they are up to in the off-season!

Catch with Luke, Makes for a Fun Game!

Padres @ Rockies
This was a very good game! It started off early by meeting Rox Addict at Jackson’s for a few drinks. When realizing it was ten minutes till the gates open we decided to head out and head across the street to Coors Field. Once we got inside we watched the Rockies finish BP and then proceeded to watch the Padres.
Griffin Benedict of the Padres threw me a ball which was awesome but I yelled at Luke Gregerson and asked for a ball but he was like you throw me a ball so I pulled one out and then we played catch for a couple of minutes! After he did end up throwing me a ball which was very nice of him, so a HUGE thanks to Luke!
After I got my second ball I ended up going over to meet EB on the Padres wall to see if I could get Luke to sign a ball for me and to see who else I could get.
After getting Luke’s autograph we headed to see if we could get EB Bud Black’s autograph which we did, so we headed to the Rockies wall to wait for them to come out. Signers today were Josh Rutledge, Jordan Pacheco, Andrew Brown, and Chris Nelson. I ended up getting Nelson on a sweet spot ball with a really nice autograph!
In the second inning things were shaky for the Rockies and the Padres ended up getting 2 runs and another in the 3rd to make it 3-0 going into the bottom of the 3rd.
The Rockies did get 1 run in the 3 to make it 3-1 Padres. The 4th inning was pretty silent but the Padres scored in the 5th with the Rockies countering in the 6th with a solo homerun by Jordan Pacheco and Wilin Rosario!
The Padres got their last run in the 8th making it 5-3 Padres.
In the bottom of the 9th the Rockies made a run at it by scoring one more run but it was not enough. Rockies fell to the Friars 5-3.
It was a wonderful night at the ballpark and very pleasant to hang out with good friends at my favorite place on this earth.
I also wanted to give a huge Shout out to Michael Cuddyer for doing Random Rox Talk on Thursday!!!!!
