Some spark is needed. They have seemed dead ass flat all season. I cannot figure out what it is other than some bad luck and a WS hangover. They play great and hit for a ten game stretch then fall flat again. They miss Fowler in the leadoff spot for sure and the starting pitching has been half assed but this roster is to talented for this to happen. I trust Theo and Jed will do something soon.

Horrible start today.
Horrible finish.

that dreaded 5th inning for arrieta.

Can't hold a 4 run lead . It's OK though Jake, you certainly held the Padres down like nobody's business.

Boras must go thru two bottles of Pepto every time Jake goes out there.

Decent end to this series. Finally got out to a game today and thought the first inning was going to be one of those big breakout innings we used to see often last year. Then right after Zobrist homers, Heyward swings at the first pitch he sees and pops the ball up. I hate to do it, but I got to call the guy out. I know he's hitting better this year, but Senzatela was obviously struggling and he needs to be a smarter hitter. Does anyone know what happened in the fifth inning when Maddon came out to argue? Anyways, honestly thought they were going to blow this game in the ninth, but big kudos to Davis for getting through it. Damn this Rockies team has some professional hitters.

There's confidence and there's stupidity. That was the latter.

We just turned the corner last week, then Addison couldn't keep his dick in his pants and that set the team back, but I'm fucking telling you, we are going on a roll now. This is it!

Does anyone remember when there was some chatter about the Cubs being interested in Blackmon after Fowler left? I don't know what the hell it would've taken...But I wish he was leading off right now.
