12. How about a pseudo-poll?
* Rockies

* Diamondbacks

* Commissioner Selig will end up declaring it a tie, like in that All-Star Game

* Oh, just give it to the Sox, already!

* Now batting for the Rockies, the shortstop, number 23, Robb Dingbat!

23. There wasn't a ton of stuff, but it was fairly constant.
Some of it was getting pretty close to our outfield players, so Hurdle pulled the Rockies off the field. Smart move on his part.

22. Oh goodie, now they're throwing crap on the field
That's nice. The TBS booth people are saying that it's just a few "knuckleheads", but we all know that's not the case. I blame the whole state of Arizona :)

20. A note to Mister Upton and the Arizona fans.:
sliding into the second baseman as he tries to throw is legal. Sliding into him and raising your arm in order to extend your reach to knock the second baseman off his balance is called interference.

Also, to the Arizona fans throwing crap onto the field: Grow the fuck up. You are pathetic and should be ashamed of yourself. Your player tried to cheat, and you respond by throwing objects on the field when he gets caught? That is completely classless.

Repeatedly. It's my new answer to every situation. Got a problem? Don't press the panic button, press the taser button.

32. I'd throw 'em all out
and then have chips implanted in their foreheads that'd set off a scanner summoning armed security guards if they ever attempted to enter a ball yard again.

Oh, and the chips would be in the shape of a Jankees logo so everybody would hate them. :)

Take their mug shots and put 'em on the scoreboard at every ball park, every game.


NEVER TO RETURN

They just hate him for some reason.

Never throw shit on the field people.

47. Well, I'm no psychic...
...but if the Rockies continue to play the way they did tonight (and for all of the last tree weeks, for that matter) I think we can be looking forward to a parade in downtown Denver sometime in late October or early November.

Just sayin'.

GO ROCKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It gave a refreshing perspective to the game.
