What a massive choke job today by the Rockies. Colorado coughed up a 7-1, 7th inning lead as the 1927 Yankees...check that, the 2011 stinking San Diego Padres rallied to beat the weak-minded Rockies 9-7.
Former Rockies outfielder Brad Hawpe blasted a two-run homer off Huston Street in the 9th to provide the winning margin for the Padres.
Just a disgraceful and unacceptable loss.
Watching the postgame show and listening to the commentators sugar coat the loss, I'm even more disgusted. Roger Baily talking nonsense about momentum and Tracy Ringolsby talking about the drizzly weather and wet baseballs. Geez. Come on. Will someone step up and say, "The Rockies blew this game like they gave away too many games last year. This team seems to lack a pulse at times and just goes through the motions. To lose this same is absolutely abominable and each guy should look in the mirror and wonder how to turn this sinking ship around." Of course if they said that they would get criticized or even fired.
The Rockies gift wrap a win but a reporter could put his or her job in jeopardy for, as Howard Cosell would say, "Telling it like it is."
Meanwhile, I know how Hawpe hit the homer. It's all in the sewer pipes.
