The Colorado Rockies are our bitches. We pimp-slapped 'em around again today, winning 6-4 at Coors. The Dodgers have now won 12 of the 16 matchups against Colorado this season. We own them like ... well ... how the Padres own us. Wilson Betemit decided to not suck long enough to hit a monstrous home run in the third. Then Derek "ADD" Lowe lost his concentration and gave up 4 runs and the lead. But luckily, this is the Rockies we're talking about here. J. D. Drew came up in the 6th and hit a two run triple (Sidenote: That was Drew's 95th RBI of the year, a career high for him. How the flying fuck did this guy rack up 95 RBI's? Wasn't this the same guy who had a 100+ AB homer drought earlier in the season? Must be the quietest 95 in history). Later in the 7th, the Dodgers scored three more, one of which on a Jeff Kent double to left which Neil Everett attributed to "the power of the moustache." Now, Everett might be my least favorite Sportscenter anchor, but I've gotta agree with him on this one. That 'stache is the only thing keeping Jeff Kent's career going. That and his motorcross magazines (his version of Popeye's spinach?).

So, 4 games left. We're down 1 game in the division and up 1 game in the wild-card. While it's true that Philadelphia is one troubled sports town, you just don't know about these Phillies. They seem to be pulling wins out of Ryan Howard's ass. And that's one big ass. The Dodgers still have a chance to choke the playoffs away. Brad Penny goes tomorrow to try to complete the sweep. He's dominated the Rocks this year, but lately he's been about as effective as Jae Seo on acid. Better cross your fingers for the stretch run.
