Posts tagged ‘Seth Smith’

Way back in April, we put out a call for examples of creative fan support.  We know Rockies fans are awesome, so it follows that we should have some awesome ideas.  And oh, fellow Rockies fans have not disappointed.  It’s worth reminding everyone that this happened.  I still can’t help but laugh out loud every time I see those pictures.

Our latest submission comes from Rockiescast’s resident Hall of Famer, Meredith.  Take a look at the graphic she designed for a T-shirt for herself and a couple of friends.  It’s suggestive, it’s got a handsome face on it, and it reminds us of the awesome things Seth Smith can do with a bat late in a ballgame.  What more could you ask for?  Perhaps one of your own?  Use the comments section to let us know what you think of the design.  If the people really like it, perhaps Meredith would even consider a special printing for some lucky Rockiescast listeners.  (Congrats, Meredith: I just put you on-the-hook!)

With last night’s awesome win, the Rox are 20 game above .500 for the first time in franchise history.  This will not be surprising to you if you already knew that coming into this game the Rox were at 19 games above .500 for the first time in franchise history.

Is it just me, or was Mr. Late Night doing his Todd Helton impression in that last at bat?  High-pressure situation, fouling off a lot of pitches with 2 strikes, finally putting the ball in play in just the right spot to win the game.  Six inches to the right and Brandon Phillips makes the play and the Rockies lose.

Joe Beimel should buy Matt Daley dinner, or maybe carry around his pink backpack for a week, for bailing him out last night.  A veteran pitcher should not come into the game, walk a guy on four pitches, and then rely on a rookie to get out of the jam.  Fortunately, Matt Daley is awesome.  I see a direct correlation between Beimel’s poor performance and his unfortunate lack of beard.

During the post-game interview with Smith, Spilly got him with a shaving cream pie to the face.  Sure it was funny, but Spilly should not be allowed anywhere near shaving cream until he grows his beard back.

Right after that happened, Alanna Rizzo totally ratted Spilly out.  Not cool Alanna.

I knew all along that the winning run in this game would be scored by Jason Marquis.  I swear.

If people can be awarded honorary degrees from universities, I see no reason why we can’t award Jason Hammel an honorary win for last night’s game.  I think I like him more and more every time he pitches.

Too bad Yorvit’s streak ahd to end, but at least it didn’t end ten days ago like I would have expected.

Thank you Ramon Troncoso.  The Dodger’s reliever started the 9th inning with a throwing error, allowing the lead-off man to get two second.  One sac bunt and two intentional walks later, the bases were loaded for Mark Reynolds.  Troncos proceeded to walk Reynolds to lose the game, bringing the Rox to within 2 1/2 games of the Dodgers.

Hey, man, I’m alive.  I’m taking the season one game at a time.
We hit the seventh inning and I turn into Mr. Late Night.

Hey, my name is Seth, look what I’ve become
I used to only pinch hit from the seventh on
But then we got Giambi to replace me in that spot
So now I get more chances to go out to left and start

My name is really Garry but I go by Seth
If you want me to get out you shouldn’t hold your breath
Cuz I’m hitting .308 and that stat’s on the rise
I like to hit it in the stands and then watch as the pitcher cries

And now while I play everyday
I have more chance to swing away
I get more hits and drive in runs
And man, it sure is fun

Hey, man, I’m alive. I’m taking the season one game at a time
When I’m up, I know I’ll get on
Hey hey hey hey, man, I’ve got a swing real nice
And I love all those Rockiescast songs by Scott Weiss
We hit the seventh inning and I turn into Mr. Late Night

Rockiescast guest Ted Berg said the he thought Seth Smith kind of looked like a young David Hasselhoff.  What do you think?
