Ubaldo Jimenez

Sometimes an image just happens. This is a long overdue tribute to the amazing Ubaldo Jimenez who happens to be, right now, the best pitcher in baseball. For the Rockies. I know . Two sentences we never thought we’d ever see in our lifetimes. Anyway, here’s to greatness in our midst. Cherish it. Pitchers like him come along about as often as John Elway.

Good Morning from Omaha,
Congratulations on the rockies having another great pitcher. It seems every year they seem to find another.
It really erie that they can’t keep them all healthy so they can have a rotation that would do more than keep them in contention, and for some that is enough. After the last several years where they have made the post season a couple of times, they need to put it all together and get over the top. It may not be this year but count on it, next year!
Nothing like going to Coors field for a ball game. Maybe in June!
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.
Gene

Wow! What an ERA! When was the last time a Rockies pitcher got so much Sports Center time?

Thanks for the morning laugh! I missed sports center last night, did the back to back to back make it in the top 10? Against Dan Haren, say they did.

In Colorado, top pitching was sent to die before the humidor kicked in. Its amazing to see him comand the ball like he has. I hope just like Doom with my broncos we can sign U to a long term deal and make him a rockies for his career. keep up the good work Drew, tell the denver post they are making a big mistake not getting you back. you were the only reason I looked at the news when it was around. as always GO BRONCOS!!!

Today’s View From the Bull Pen

The odds aren't good. Simply put waiting for an NBA player to make a free throw is a bit like waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series. It just ain't gonna happen. At least in our lifetimes. It reminds me of one of my favorite stories. Legendary basketball coach Don Haskins, all 250 plus pounds of him, had a player who apparently thought a bit highly of himself and didn't find his deficiency at the free throw line to be that big of a deal. Haskins challenged him to a free throw contest and let the kid go first. The kid hit a couple out of 10 or so and proudly handed old man Haskins the ball. After the coach hit his 100th in a row without a miss the kid learned his lesson. Don't argue with the Bear. And learn to shoot free throws.

There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen (that I've found yet) so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.
