We GOT One!

On Sunday, the Rockies defeated the Marlins, 3-2, receiving their first one-run victory of the season.

Finally.

Before Sunday's win, the Rox had a heartwrenching 0-8 record in one-run games, by far the worst record in baseball this season. If the Rox had pulled out a few of those games, they could be sitting at a more comfortable record of 17-14 or even 15-16. But what's done is done, and the only way the Rockies can pull themselves out of the NL West basement is finding ways to win the close games.

One a positive note, Tulo is starting to find his bat, having hit his third consecutive multi-hit game Sunday. The minor leg injury is a bit of a concern for me, given the fact that the strain is in the exact same spot where he tore his tendon around the same time last season, which resulted in his 48-game stint on the DL. As long as they can avoid another major injury to his quad, then he'll be sitting pretty with a .300+ batting average by July.

Another plus is the fact that super-set-up man Taylor Buchholz is close to starting rehab in AAA, which means he should be back in a couple of weeks! The bullpen is in desperate need of an extra good arm, despite the fact that both Alan Embree and Huston Street have hit their stride and rookie Matt Daley has been lights-out since being called up.

I still believe the Rox will be in contention, and stay in contention, by the time the All-Start Break rolls around. We are very fortunate to have Manny Ramirez out for 50 games due to a positive PED drug test. Now we just need to go out and capitalize on the Dodger's huge mistake.

Now with the Rockies update out of the way, here's my updates:

I've been pretty busy since my last post, which was, sadly, about a month ago. Anyway, in late April, I made a visit out to Provo to visit my cousin, a few of my friends and look at some apartments with Michael. We did find a place! It's called Wolverine Crossing and it's on the west side of I-15, right next to UVU. I think it has a similar setup as the Belmar Towncenter in Lakewood, which is where Dick's Sporting Goods is. I'm extremely excited to live there! And to actually be around kids with the same morals and beliefs as I have. Since I've lived in the 3OH!3 my whole life, that is one thing that I am definitely not accustomed to:) It should be a bit of a culture shock for me at first, but I think it's gonna be a blast!
