Car-Gone, Car-Gone, Car-Gonza’s on fire.  We don’t need no water let the crazy homerun hitting continue for the next ten years!  OK, so maybe that doesn’t really fit the rhythm, but Carlos Gonzalez is the hottest thing since Hansel.  After all, how do you overshadow Clint Barmes, who has homered in three straight games?  Car-Gonza’s answer is to homer in four straight, and six of his last eight games.  Yet even with Carlos and Clint’s recent power eruptions, Jason Marquis tying the league lead in wins with 14 and Huston Street saving his 31st game in 32 chances, I left tonight’s game not all that satisfied. 

Despite the Rox winning their fourth third game in a row, the inability to drive in runs tonight really bothered me.  Ted talks all the time about run scoring efficiency and I’m pretty sure leaving the bases loaded three times in a game against struggling pitchers is not what he had in mind.  This game should have been a blowout.  Cheap tacos should have been provided to the peole of Colorado.  Maybe I’ll let it slide (this time) because they won, but this offensive inefficiency isn’t going to get it done against the Giants and the Dodgers.  When Ted and I make our trip to the ballpark to see the final game of the series tomorrow, I want to see cheap tacos earned.  That would make me feel a whole lot better heading into the next week and a half of incredibly important games.  They’ve closed each of the last three series with a Happy Taco game.  Let’s make it one more as we sweep the season series against the Nats.
