Shhh. The Bats Are Sleeping.

World Series Game 2

The Rockies are headed home without the split. Ubaldo did his darndest. He gave up 5 walks and almost sawed JD Drew’s foot off. But he stared down the Sox potent line-up and worked through it like a pro. He’s gonna be a huge star when he can learn to throw first pitch strikes. He gave up only 2 runs in 4 2/3 inning, which after Game 1 is a godsend.

But the bats. The sleeping bats. I guess Schilling pitched well. But he didn’t look unhittable. Brandon Webb had more zip, pop and dive and the Rocks beat him. Willy Tavarez used speed to reel in the first run in the first inning, but the Rocks just couldn’t put anything together. Holliday was finding infield gaps, Helton hit a 410 foot drive that was reeled in for an out. But Schilling wouldn't allow a prolonged rally. The team still looks a bit rusty and wide eyed.

The good news is Jacoby Ellsbury gave the world a free taco. The bad news is Conventional Wisdom dictates that one should stay as far away as humanly possible from Taco Bells on the day they are giving out free tacos. That’s a good way to get your arm chewed off. Or worse.

Down 0-2 headed home. This is nothing a crazy Rocky Mountain crowd can’t solve. And we will. The DRAGONSLAYER will ride to the rescue.

Go Rockies!!!
