And Griffey had a legit shot of catching Maris (was on pace for 58 or 59). That strike ruined one of the best seasons in my lifetime.

Don't forget about Matt Williams.

That's right! I had forgotten he had even more than Jr.

Matt Williams and Jeff Bagwell were ridiculous that year too. As was Greg Maddux.

"I have had people get in my face and say, 'You've got to do this and do that.' And believe me, I understand the fans' frustration, " Monfort told The Denver Post. "I know everybody wants a fall guy and everybody wants blood. I just don't think it's appropriate to do."

"If this is anybody's fault, it's mine. I will take it right square between the middle of the eyes," said Monfort, who became more involved in the Rockies' baseball decisions after the death of president Keli McGregor in April 2010.

"There is no way that we are as poor of a team as we are playing. And if we are, then I fell in love with our own guys and couldn't look through the forest to the trees. But I don't believe that's the case."

"I think he's a tremendous asset," Monfort said. "I can't think of a general manager in baseball that's as good as him. Granted, I don't know all of them ... but I just think he's heads and shoulders above everybody else."

Translation: Changes wont be made because the attendance is still good and they're making money from the 2007 run. They do just enough to say "Hey look, we're committed" with the 2 signings of Tulo and Cargo.

I won't be going to any games as long as they continue to repeat the failed process. I was pretty close to buying season tickets but not after Monfort continues his crap.

Nice shot to center field by Brandon Phillips to give them the lead 2-1 going into the second now.

Bah. Beachy had given up one HR going into tonight and he's given up 2 so far.

Maybe Lidge was right about the Nationals after all. All this and don't get to watch Ruiz swing the bat tonight b/c the HP ump is obviously ovulating.

Carlos Pena just committed HOMICIDE to a baseball. My goodness!

EDIT- Look at this massive shot. Had to be 450+ feet.

BP with 2 home runs tonight, up 4-2 heading into the bottom of the 7th.
Latos also has pitched pretty well.
