Something I totally neglected in my Rock Solid Rain Shortened Recap last night was Ubaldo Jimenez being credited with his 3rd complete game. Hey, six innings or nine, it still counts because he went the distance. And regardless of how many innings it was, it still means the Rockies bullpen received a MUCH needed night off.
See, even when Ubaldo isn't his "best" he's still doing everything right for the team.
And we'll call Mother Nature and the umpires even with the Rockies for the botched game vs. Washington a month or so back. You remember the Cesspool Game?
Here are tonight's starting nine... not starting ten. We're in a National League park.

- 2B Herrera

Carlos Gonzalez hitting third! Wow. I hope this is more than just a temporary thing while Tulo's out of the lineup (groin)! A few good games and maybe it won't be.
