Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Weren't they playing some pretty good ball to start the season?

Yes! It was so exciting, especially considering this year was expecting to be a crap year anyway (with next year being our first chance at actually contending, based on talent). They got my hopes up, only for them to be crushed like so many seasons passed.

Well, it is the Nats.... I would like to see the Rox play spoiler. I do not have much hope, but I love them. There is so much talent on that team. We just need pitchers....again...before Tulo and CarGo retire....

I wish the Braves could say "Well, it's the Nats". They always seem to have our number.

That's what happens when half your team is Braves outcasts.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

What the Rox need is a Bullpen overhaul. Our bullpen is so overwhelmingly mediocre, inconsistent, and unreliable. The only reason Street has such a good save percentage, is because any time we win, we usually win by a large margin so the saves require just not giving up seven runs.

But it's the altitude that makes them suck! ::yawn::

I agree. A lot of people need to go. The Monforts always claim that they are willing to spend the money to get good players. Clearly not.

Unless he's pitching 3 innings, he's not getting a save then...

Oh, and I can totally explain the save rules if needed.

And most of the front office too!

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

When I first moved out here, you also had a guy who went to my small ass alma mater. Thought that was random.

Apparently he's now an assistant GM with Arizona.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

I understand the save rules, but it's not always a one run game in street's save situations. we just need to get rid of Ian Stewart and Ryan Spilborghs. People who O'dowd can't let go of because they used to be sick.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

...what is an O'dowd?

I liked Miguel Olivo, or even Yorvit. Why couldn't we keep Yorvit?

Nice, what was his name?

Have you been to a game at Kaufman? I love that stadium. Its a great place to enjoy an MLB game.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Miguel Olivo was the sickest. So much effort and talent. I'll always remember last year him getting a basehit off of a routine groundball because he sprinted and dove headfirst into the bag. So awesome. Chris Ianetta is ok.

haha and O'dowd is the GM of the rockies.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Fail. So much fail.

I remember Olivo digging it out. Dude was (is?) hardcore.

Muzzy Jackson.

And yes. I've been to at least 1 every year with work, and then a few more here and there.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

You all have not seen a baseball game until you have seen one from inside Coors.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

I still need to visit lots of stadiums. Seen games in Atlanta and KC (duh), plus Tampa Bay (x2), St Louis, Baltimore, Toronto and in Cleveland's old stadium.
