It's a shame that players get injuries that take them out the whole year. I'm still upset that we won't see Francis for the rest of this season. I miss that kid. When I started following the Rockies summer of '07 (no, I haven't been a fan for very long), Jeff Francis was the first player I could name on the team. I’m disappointed about “Bucky,” too.

They have games where they dominate. They have games that the just eek out. They have come from behind. They have almost blown leads but managed to hold on. They've proven that they can win in just about any situation and that they can do it against good teams. It's not like they've been beating the Nats, D-backs, and Pirates in these series. The only thing we haven't seen is the Rox go down big early in a game and have to come back from far behind, but that's only because the starting pitching hasn't allowed that to happen. They have been awesome. But with all the reason to celebrate, I'm bummed that Buchholz is going to miss the rest of the season. I was really looking forward to him coming back and having that comfort level that if we have a lead in the 8th, we're going to get that lead to Street in the 9th. I like what Daley has done so far, but he hasn't done it for a full season like Bucky has.
