Bull Comes Through in 10
5/21/13
Arizona VS Colorado
Baby Bull was HBP making sure his hand was ok!
This was the second time the Diamondbacks have been here to Coors Field and the third time they have met already this season.
On the mound for the Rockies was Jhoulys Chacin and on the mound for the Diamondbacks was Ian Kennedy.
Kennedy had a rough night giving up 2 in the 2nd 1 in the 3rd and 1 in the 4th making it 0-4, Rockies ahead early! The 5th and 6th innings were pretty quick with no one scoring and then the Diamondbacks strike back in the 7th by scoring 4 and essentially tying up the game. After going 10 strong innings the Rockies finally got a single by Baby Bull which won in for the Rockies.
Sorry this is so short but thought this could be an extremely short blog and a lot of pictures.
Thanks to Brooklyn for signing my jersey it says if you can’t read it… “to the inventor of the ‘Brooklyn’ knickname” to me that is pretty exciting!
This is it for this game!

Pacheco Slams the Giants
5/17/13
Giants @ Rockies
Game 2
WHAT A GAME!
This was so long ago I don’t remember what happened pre-game but on the mound for the Rockies was Jorge De La Rosa and on the mound for the Giants was Madison Bumgarner.
The Giants got to work early in the 1st when Buster Posey hit a sac fly to right field which then scored Pablo Sandoval. The Rockies ended up going 1-2-3 in the first. The Giants scored yet again in the second on a single by Brandon Crawford scoring Brett Pill. A few batters later Marco Scutaro singled which scored Crawford and then Sandoval came up and single which scored Bumgarner. The Rockies finally got on the board in the bottom of the second by a fielder’s choice ground out by Jordan Pacheco. At the end of two Giants lead Rockies 4-1.
Jorge did work in the third sitting down the Giants. The Rockies had a little better luck in their half of the third because they ended up scoring 3 runs to tie the game up at 4.
Obviously the Giants didn’t like that and they got another run in the fourth inning making it 5-4.
The next run was scored by the Rockies in the bottom of the fifth by a line drive to left field by the baby bull Wilin Rosario, tying it up at 5. This inning kept going and it was very magical for the Rockies.
These are the types of innings as a fan you live for! With Carlos Gonzalez on third, Baby Bull on second, and Dj LeMahieu on first Jordan Pacheco was up to bat. On first pitch swinging he drilled a ball 15+ rows in left field for his 1st ever Grand Slam! This was absolutely amazing and you had to be there to feel the intensity. Below is the link to the video so you can watch it for yourself.
His Granny ended up putting the Rockies on top 5-9.
Cargo decided to add an insurance run to the lead the next inning making it 5-10.
The 7th was a very stressful inning because the Giants came back and scored 3 runs, making it 8-10 Rockies still on top. The next inning the Giants got one more run on a Homerun by Buster Posey making it 9-10.
Thankfully that was all that was scored on either side, game over Rockies take this one 9-10.
The Giants tried to crawl back in it but with Jordie’s granny they just couldn’t complete it.
Congrats to JP on his first ever granny! This is where I’m leaving this one!

Giants Crawl Back to Win
5/16/13
Giants @ Rockies
Sorry I have taken so long to write these. With graduation and family in town it was a VERY busy weekend. Anyway this was the first game for the Rockies back at Coors and man was it a good one.
Todd Father signed on the wall and we had a good conversation. Thanks Todd for signing!
Jersey Geoff won the first 20 Days of Winner that the Rockies were having and so this is him presenting the line up to the Umpires during the game! Pretty sweet!
On the mound for the Rockies was Jhoulys Chacin and on the mound for the Giants was Matt Cain. I’m not sure how many of you follow Matt Cain but he has been a great pitcher. He has thrown great through the last few years but this years has been very shaky for him. It started out like a pitching duel in the first inning and a half until Todd Helton belted a two-run homerun to right field. 0-2 Rockies!
On the next pitch Nolan Arenado decided that it was his turn and hit a solo shot to left center field making the score 0-4. Giants went silent in the 3rd and the Rockies were able to strike again by a three run homer by the Baby Bull Wilin Rosario.
Heading into the 4th Rockies on top by 6. In the 4th though Chacin fell apart and gave up 5 runs to the Giants making it 5-6 Rockies will on top.
The rest of the game was rather boring because the Rockies gave up the lead and never scored again. The Giants ended up taking this one 8-6.
It was very disappointing seeing the Rockies loss this one but like they say you can’t win them all. Matt Cain got the W and Chacin got the L but it definitely should have been the other way around. This was a tough one to watch but they get better as the homestand progresses!
This is a short one but gets the point across!
I’m Blake St Babe and this is The Take: From 20th and Blake!

Happy Birthday to me
5/3
Rach and I
What a great day! I decided to make this game my birthday celebration.
Mom, Dad and I
It was an OK day for autographs. I got Johnny Herrera on a card and that was it. The wall has not been great at all this season. After graphs we headed to the top and sat in a big group.
Herrera
In attendance was my rents, sister and fiancé, Rach, EB, Jared, Rox Addict, Kevin, Mariano, and Kristen. It as a big group but we always have fun together.
This was Arenado’s first home game which was awesome to watch!
On the mound for the Rockies was Jeff Francis and on the mound for the Rays Matt Moore.
The Rockies were on the board first with a homerun by Michael Cuddyer! (Helps me in fantasy points) Rockies up 0-2. Rutledge then homered in the 2nd giving the Rockies a 0-3 lead.
In the top of the third the Rays stung by scoring 2, a double by Ryan Robert and then a double by Ben Zobrist. 2-3 Rockies still on top.
The 4th inning was quiet for both teams but in the 5th the Rays went ahead by a 2 run homerun. In the bottom of the 5th Nolan Arenado doubled which scored Rosario tying the game up at 4.
Ottavino came in to pitch the 6th and the 7th which he went 1-2-3 each inning but so did the Rockies each inning. The Rays threatened in the 8th but didn’t score, same with the Rockies.
In the top of the 10th the Rays scored on a single by Evan Longoria and then a homerun by Kelly Johnson. 7-4 Tampa Bay.
I wish I was writing a happy ending but the Rockies didn’t score any in the bottom of the 10th .
Rockies ended up falling to the Rays in-game 1 7-4.
After the game we stood outside and got photos done. Thanks to Brooklyn, Lachemann, and Weinstein for stopping to sign and to Ryan Roberts from the Rays. It was very cold but worth it but would have been even better if the Rockies would have won!
This is all that happened from this game!

Rox Fall to Yanks
5/8
This was game 2 against the Yankees but I thought it was a game that was going to be delayed. It was not though. I showed up early with my dad to find that they were not doing any BP due to the rain. So what did I do? I tried to stay dry as much as I could until the gates opened and we were able to work the Yankees wall. The two goals during this homestand were Mariano Rivera and Joe Girardi, neither that I was able to get thus far. So once the gates opened Kevin from Rocknation, EB, Rachael, Rox Addict and myself all headed down to the Yankees wall and waited while to poured to see if we could get anything… We didn’t get ANYTHING again! Rivera did sign like 3 but then was told that he needed to go in. So we didn’t get him yet again.
Tarp coming off field!
NELLY!
The reason we found out later is that Mariano Rivera had to run in and get changed because they were honoring him with the check that was made out to his foundation.
After waiting in the rain my dad and I headed over to our front row seats in Right Field… Yep that is right FRONT ROW. I have never been lucky sitting in these seats we have never had the chance to get a homerun ball. So I knew that the likely hood of getting a homerun was very very very low!
On the Mound tonight for the Rockies was Juan Nicasio and on the Mound for the Yankees was David Phelps. Nicasio looked good in the beginning but has had a rough time this year. It doesn’t seem he has control of his pitches which has destroyed him this year.
The Yankees ended up getting on the board in the 1st inning with a 2-run homerun by Vernon Wells to left field. The Rockies in the 1st went 1-2-3 while The Yankees did 1-2-3 in the top of the second.
However in the bottom of the 2nd the Rockies were able to get tie up the game with a 2-run homerun by Todd Helton to right field…. Yes I said Right Field, where I was sitting front row, no the ball was 3 sections to my right and not even close to where I was at… AGAIN!
The rest of the game was rather boring and no one scored while we were there.
ALSO A QUICK CONGRATS TO NELLY WHO GOT HIS FIRST HIT WITH THE YANKEES, IT WAS A TRIPLE TO CENTER!
My dad works at 530 in the morning which means he wakes up anywhere between 4-445 am so when we go together we usually leave early. If you know me I NEVER leave early but it was cold, I wasn’t prepared with clothing, and dad had to work the next day so we left.
I heard the rest of the game from the nice warm car and heard about the blown call at 1 which essentially cost the Rockies the game, thanks Phil Cuzzi!
The Yankees ended up taking game 2 of the series 3-2.
I did not go to the Yankees game on Thursday but if you want to know about the game make sure you head over to Rox Addicts page http://roxaddict.mlblogs.com and check out his post.
Also want to give another shout out to D the Rockpile Ranter for mentioning me in his post, we really are the Trifecta that’ll Reck Ya, but why aren’t we ALL in the top 50? One day hopefully soon I will be up there!
This is where I shall leave it! I will be posting about the Sky Sox game before the next Rockies game so keep an eye out for that!

Bronx Bombers meet the Blake Street Bullies
5/7
This was the first time that I have ever seen the Yankees player which was exciting but as an autograph seeker you knew that the wall and BP was going to be HORRIBLE! Rox Addict, Rockpile Ranter and myself all chilled in the Rockpile line till gates opened at 4:30.
I got in and headed down to BP where Juan Nicasio threw me a ball. I had a play on three balls but they were all over my head. Rox Addict on the other hand had 2 nice snags, receiving his first BP homeruns of the year.
Rox Addict with his first snag while doing a running man!
At 5 I decided to head over to the Yankees side to see who I could get. The wall was CRAZY packed and wish I would have stayed where I was at. I went over toward the dugout and third base to try to get Nelly’s attention and sure enough he saw my neon green sign and thought it was the coolest thing! The Broncos showed up and my goal was to get them on a baseball but no one signed.
Joe Girardi and Peyton Manning talking
After a call from EB I headed over to the Yankees wall because Mariano Rivera was signing. I didn’t get him which really upset me but knew that I had Saturday to get him. So after h went in I went over to my seats and sat and enjoyed the game. No graphs on the wall today.
The Legend Mariano Rivera signing autographs
On the mound for the Colorado Rockies was Jorge De La Rosa and on the mound for the New York Yankees was Hiroki Kuroda.
De La Rosa
Ichiro batting
Yankees threatened in the first inning but Jorge got out of it with no runs scored. Rockies ended up going 1-2-3 in the first after Rutledge was picked off of 1st base. Yankees went 1-2-3 again in the 2nd but so did the Rockies. In the third the Yankees threaten again but Jorge was able to get out of it again leaving Ichiro stranded at third. In the bottom of the third the Rockies have 5 batters get to the plate but no one scored again. 0-0 headed to the fourth.
Nelly hopping out of the way
Todd at bat
Both teams were silent in the fourth inning along with the fifth. In the top of the sixth the Yankees went 1-2-3 and in the bottom of the sixth the Rockies FINALLY got onto the board with a 2 out 2 run homerun by Carlos Gonzalez. Rutledge was on base so he scored too. 0-2 Rockies on top.

Trot around the bases
Scoring
Celebration
Matt Belisle came in to replace De La Rosa in the 7th which he then pitched a 1-2-3 inning. Neither the Rockies nor the Yankees scored the rest of the game which was awesome. Rockies end up throwing a shutout against the Yankees 0-2.
After the game we thought we would try to get Joe Girardi along with Chris Nelson and any other Yankees that might walk out. There was no luck. We did get Nelly as he was walking out which was somewhat closure because when they left out of town then we were fighting then he got traded, so it was awesome to see him and say goodbye. Thanks Nelly for everything.
This was it for game one against the Yankees. Keep an eye out for game two.

Rays Get Blasted by a Rookies Granny
5/4
WHAT A GAME! I met up with Rox Addict and his mom Fran and headed down to the stadium with them. We showed up about 330 and waited outside Rockpile Gate. Gates opened and we headed in. We did BP for a little and also watched the Kentucky Derby… This was DANGEROUS! It was awesome watching on the screen but batting practice was still happening so it was look at the screen… look at the field… screen…. Field…. You get the idea!
Watching the Derby
Did not end up getting any balls which was a bust again so I headed around to the Rockies wall to stand and wait and see what I could get. No one signed…yet again!
Jared counting his All-Star Ballots
After I headed up to my seat to enjoy the game. We had a big group again consisting of Tanya, Josh, Rox Addict, Fran, Kevin, Tonja, Mariano, Michelle, Kristin, and Jared.
Baby Bull warming up
On the mound for the Rockies was Jon Garland and for the Rays the 2012 Cy Young David Price.
Rockies were first to get on the board by a single by Tulo, which scored EY.
The 2nd was quiet for each team but the Rays came back in the 3rd and scored by a double by James Loney and then a single right after by Kelly Johnson. 2-1 Rays.
Tulo with a double
Tulo was able to produce a double in the 3rd which scored EY again. Tied at 3.
Garland and Price pitched really well during the 4th-5th innings, neither of them giving up any runs.
Cargo decided to go long in the 5th to put the Rockies up 3-4.
Cargo scoring after his homerun
In the 6th Escolona replaced Garland and went 1-2-3. The Rockies went 1-2-3 also in the 6th. In the 7th the Rays had a runner on base but could not get him home. Score headed into the bottom of the 7th 3-4 Rockies.
This was a great inning for the Rockies! Cuddy got a single which scored Cargo. 3-5 Rockies.
Pitch 1
Here is the GS swing but its blurry 
With Tulo at 3rd, Cuddy at 2nd, and Rosario at 1st, Arenado came up with a purpose. He was close to hitting his previous 2 out but it was his chance to shine. On a 1-1 count he hit a ball to left-center field for his first Grand Slam. I don’t think I had seen Coors Field go that crazy in a while!
http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2013/05/05/mlbtv_26853749_1200K.mp4
This put us up 3-9. No one else scored which was good! Rockies take this one 9-3 over the Rays.
I didn’t go to Sunday’s game but they ended up losing 8-3, the Rays take the series.
On the other hand let’s leave this one on a positive note!
me, Tanya, Josh

Last One Against the Braves
4/24
I know that this is long overdue but wanted to get it in before I start writing about the Rays games.
This was weather and science day so there were a tons of kids there and a lot of kids on the wall before the game. No graphs yet again but hey what’s new.
This was a great game! The weather was amazing (compared to the last few games). Pitching for the Colorado Rockies was Tyler Chatwood and for the Atlanta Braves was Tim Hudson. The Rockies were the first to strike in the 2nd inning with a solo homerun but Cuddy and then another shot right after to left field by Rutledge. Rockies end inning on top 0-2.
The third inning was very quick with 3-up and 3-down on both sides, but in the 4th the Braves got on the scoreboard when Freeman doubled and then Juan Francisco singles which then scored Freeman. The Braves ended up going ahead by a single by the pitcher Tim Hudson. 3-2 Braves.
The Rockies on the other hand came back in the 4th and countered by a single by our pitcher Tyler Chatwood, Nelson scores. 3-3.
The 5th was another 1-2-3 on the both sides which kept the game going. With 1 out I the 6th inning the Braves scored by a throwing error by Jonathan Herrera and the next batter Schafer brought Uggla across the plate. 5-3 B Braves.
The Rockies went quietly in the 6th inning, which brings us to the 7th inning. Ottavino came in to pitch the 7th inning, the Braves ended up going 1-2-3. Rockies ended up going 1-2-3 in the 7th as well, Braves still up 5-3. Ottavino gave up one hit in the 8th but no runs. The Rockies didn’t get any runs in the 8th inning, we head to the 9th with the Braves still on top 5-3.
Rex Brothers came in to pitch the 9th and did not give up a run. Headed to the bottom of the 9th the Rockies needed to get 2 runs to tie it and 3 to win. Dexter ended up hitting a double which scored 2 and tied up the game at 5-5.
Betancourt and Belisle came in to pitch the 10th – 12th innings. The Rockies ended up winning the game with a single by Yorvit Torrealba. The Rockies win in 12 over the Braves 5-6! Great way to end the homestand and a great travel day for them.
This is it for game 3 between the Rockies and Braves, Braves taking the series 2-1.

Played a Double but I only went to One
4/23/13
Since Monday was yet another Snow day and since the game was postponed they decided to have yet another doubleheader on Tuesday. Due to class I was not able to make it to game 1 but was able to make it to game 2.
I watched 7th inning through the rest of the game at Jacksons then Rox Addict came over to get some food and then we headed over to Coors to freeze during game 2.
On the hill for the Rockies was Jon Garland and on the mound for the Braves was Julio Teheran.
It started out as a very good game! Neither team scored through the first 2 innings and the game went by rather quickly until the Braves warmed up.
The Rockies scored first in the bottom of the 3rd inning by a single from Michael Cuddyer (EY scores). Rockies on top 0-1. That didn’t last long thought the Braves scored 3 in the 4th, 2 in the 5th, and 1 in the 6th, while the Rockies didn’t score ANY! Braves on top 6-1.
The next two innings went by very quick with neither team scoring but then the 9th the Rockies Josh Outman gave up 4 runs, making the score 10-1 heading into the 9th.
I wish I could say that the Rockies had a magical run in the 9th inning but they only ended up getting 1 and ending the game with a final score of 10-2.
Rockies looked like a different team. Not sure if they are getting tired already or if they were cold but losing both games on the double-header just plain right SUCKED!
Let’s hope they get back to winning and stay in the leading spot.
This is it from a FREEZING game, yet again.
I’m Blake St Babe and this is The Take: From 20th and Blake.
I’m getting ready for the Rays series, if you are at Coors say hey!

Bobblehead 1, Rockies Pen is Undone
Ottavino and Outman warming up
4/21/13
Sunday is always a fun day especially when you hang out with my group of friends. It was an early morning at the field to celebrate Rachel’s birthday!
Rachel, Wil, and I
While waiting for the gates we saw Wil Nieves walking in and Rachel and I decided we wanted a picture.
Bobblehead Sunday
We knew gates were going to be busy because it was a bobblehead giveaway. I love this day but hate it! I love the fact that we can get people in the gates and that people want to be there but I hate that there are that many people there for autographs. Half of those people bring nothing to get signed but whatever.
Jerry doing a Running Man!
It was packed for autographs!
We got in and got our bobbleheads and headed down to the wall for autograph Sunday. 4 players autographing were Jon Garland, Reid Brignac, Rex Brothers, and Adam Ottavino. As we got down to the lines we didn’t know who was signing where but you picked a line until they brought them out and decided who was signing where. I really wanted Reid Brignac and so I thought if I tried the second line that I might get lucky and I did! Thankfully Reid was the only one out of the 4 that I needed on my helmet, so after getting Reid I headed up to Ottavino’s line to get my throwback jersey signed.
I was only about 30 up but didn’t end up getting through his line but yelled at him and he waited and called me down and signed the jersey. Thanks Brooklyn!
Herrera signing
After getting him I hung out on the wall until the Rockies came out to warm up. We did get Johnny Herrera (I got him on my helmet) then we sat in the sun and enjoyed the game.
On the mound for the Rockies was Juan Nicasio and on the mound for the Diamondbacks was Brandon McCarthy. The Rockies got on the board in the 3rd inning by a single by Jordan Pacheco, single by Carlos Gonzalez. Rockies up 0-3.
Herrera batting
Both teams went 3 up 3 down in the 4th and Arizona finally got on the board in the 5th inning. Colorado on top 2-3. The Rockies added to their lead though in the bottom of the 6th inning by a solo shot by Tulo to center field.
Tulo solo shot!
Brooklyn batting!
The pitching was very good, Belisle let up 1 run in the 8th making it 3-4 Rockies still leading. The 9th was sketchy though once the Rockies put Wilton Lopez in 9th which he gave up a single to Marte, Pollock scores from 3rd, 4-4 Rockies. Next batter was Gerardo Parra who hit a sac fly and gave Arizona another run, which pushed them ahead of the Rockies 5-4.
Brooklyn!
Outman pitching
Rockies came up in the 9th but didn’t do anything special and lost the game.
This was the first home game that they had lost and very happy to get it out-of-the-way! It would have been even better if they would have won and swept again but maybe next series!
After the game we headed outside and got Nelly to sign his locker tag, Ottavino to sign his locker tag and he signed my Brooklyn jersey! Then we head around to the other side and waited to see if we could get anything and sure enough CARGO stopped and signed photos along with my helmet! It was amazing! JP also stopped which was awesome because I got the rest of his cards done! I would say that it was a very successful day!
I only need 6 more players that are here in the majors and then the rest should be taken care of down in the springs! The helmet is coming out great and I hope that I can get it done before June!
All of with our signed Cargo stuff!
This is where this one ends! Rockies takes the series 2-1.
