Winning without ego

So, I realize that I said in my first post that I wouldn't be doing any fangirling over here, but...I seemed to have forgotten about my massive love for baseball and my team. I would just like it to be known that Ubaldo Jimenez is a freaking beast. Just a week ago, I was listening to baseball analysts discuss why Jimenez has the best stuff in baseball "right now", but why he's still not as good or better a pitcher than Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay. Dearest analysts, I invite you to look at the evidence of both the game the Rockies played against Halladay as well as the game played against the Giants today that pitted 'Baldo against "The Freak". I realize that you're using the fact that Ubaldo has only been showing his control and true awesomeness this year, and that we're only two months into the season, but, we beat the crap out of Halladay and chased Lincecum in less than six innings.

Unfortunately, I know that because in baseball, if you're not playing for a big name team, it's unlikely anyone takes you seriously before you meet some unknown "years of service" mark. So, while those of us who have been watching have simply been waiting for Ubaldo's day to come, the rest of you will move on the minute his ERA exceeds 1.00. Speaking of which, I'm pretty proud of the fact that our ace is only the third pitcher in the history of baseball to have 10 wins and an ERA sub-1.00 through the month of May. Your beloved Lincecum and Halladay aren't the other two, either. And, as you all like to say: "And that's playing at Coors Field."

Live, from the Blogosphere!

Kids, I hate to say it, but: "This ain't my first rodeo". I'm not new to posting my thoughts (and consequent ramblings) to the ever expanding world wide web. That being said, this is my first "grown-up" blog. Mostly, my blogs have been used for picspams, giants posts about nothing, and a lot of fangirling over various things and people. So, none of that here, folks. If that's what you're looking fore, you made a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

So, here's hoping this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship :)
