Help getting thru the All-Star Break

The Fourth of July fireworks after the Rockies game, as recorded through my shaky, low resolution cell phone. The audio--nothing but incoherent screaming--has been replaced with some low bitrate music for your viewing pleasure. The fireworks were sponsored by King Soopers and Coca-Cola.

Rodrigo Lopez is back

Former Rockie Rodrigo Lopez will start for the Phillies on Friday when they play the Mets. Lopez pitched for the Rockies in 2007 and was solid until he blew out his elbow on July 26.

Retrospeculation: if Rodrigo and Jason Hirsh hadn't gotten hurt in 2007, where would Ubaldo Jimenez be now?

If Holliday bats cleanup behind Alberto Pujols, that would be absolutely SCARY!!
