Well if Demp can give us one more and looking at that lineup he should be able to, I guess he was ok. I just wanna see the offense get a few more.

As usual, Wuertz enters with a lead and has difficulty finding the strike zone.

Baker grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

Nice quick inning from Wuetz, let's see another one next inning Mike

[XZero771679666304]

All right, time for some more insurance.

[mlarner]

Good inning Wuertz

[weis21]

The rockies only have one hit today that hasn't left the yard.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson grounded out to short, 6-3

[bcruise]

I didn't even notice "Boyd" was calling the balls and strikes today. I guess that's a good thing. :D

[weis21]

I wish Lou would just go ahead and pull Johnson when he's facing RH relievers.
