Aaron Cook is on the mound lookin’ like the Cook of old
And Tulo’s got a bat you’d think was made of solid gold
Todd Helton’s got the goat again and he’s swingin’ like he means it
And EY’s running first to home so fast you barely see it
Yorvit has become Mr. Clutch, CarGonza’s bat goes “THUD!”
DLR is downright nasty and Ubaldo is a stud
It’s been a long, long season and the Rockies have fought hard
And now for all their effort they have clinched (at least) the Wild Card

Barmes with a crazy catch he maybe never made
Iannetta’s walk-off homer brought us a cheap taco day
Ian Stewart avoiding double plays, looking like an acrobat
Huston Street back to close games, how freakin’ sweet is that?
Now that we’ve clinched the Wild Card the journey doesn’t end
The Rockies still have one more important message left to send
The Wild Card is fine and good, but you know what would be best?
To bust out the brooms, sweep the boys in blue, and watch the Rockies take the west!

- Rockies win – Rox record improves to 33-33, hitting the .500 mark for the first time since being 4-4.

- Rockies win – Jim Tracy’s career managerial record evens up at 577-577.

- W for Ubaldo – brings his mark up to 6-6, the first time his record would hit .500 this season.

- W for Ubaldo – evens up his career mark at 22-22.  Appearing in 3 seasons prior to this one, Ubaldo has never finished a season with a winning or losing record. (0-0 in 2006, 4-4 in 2007, 12-12 in 2008)

- 4 total bases in 4 at-bats for Ian Stewart – brings his slugging % to .500.

- 7 total bases in 5 at-bats for BARMESSSSS! - brings his slugging % to .500.

- If Ubaldo can go deep into this game, pitching 129 innings while striking out 188 hitters, he’ll hit 500 career IP and K’s.

- Ubaldo goes the distance – Huston Street doesn’t have to come in to save the game, thus ensuring his record stays at 1-1.

When I step on the mound, I chop up hitters like bok choi

I got 127 pitches and a butcher boy

We just took 8 straight and we be feelin’ great

And foes be Ichirollin’ in from the Evergreen State

So now I’m takin’ the mound, I’m gonna dominate

And I be conquering hitters like Alexander the Great

When you be at the plate, I will intimidate

Have you feelin’ so nervous like you was on a blind date

To all the fans in the stands that had to pay at the gate

I’m gonna make all y’all love me cuz I ain’t no Bonnie Raitt.

I’m takin’ total control, like an Orwellian State

My stock be soarin’ higher than the unemployment rate.

When hitters step in the box, they best be sayin’ a prayer

Cuz my stuff be crazy nasty and it just ain’t fair

You may be havin’ girl problems cuz you got no hair

But if you baldo you should just pick up some Hair-Be-There

When I’m on the mound I be lookin’ to seek and destroy

And when I’m at the plate I’m busting out my quality decoy

I’m faking the bunt and then I’m driving in Troy

I got 127 pitches and a butcher boy.

127 pitches and a butcher boy

When I step on the mound, I chop up hitters like bok choi

I got 127 pitches and a butcher boy
Hit me
