Colorado 4 - Chicago 2

Tuned in for this game this afternoon. Good game. Great job by Cook and Fuentes, the new closer. Yup. Funny how some managers make quick moves when a key guy's not delivering. Corpas wasn't getting the job done - four blown saves already - so Clint Hurdle swapped him for set up man Brian Fuentes.

One other thing that's been getting on my nerves is that last year we heard a lot about how great the Rockie's team defense was. Well, I've listened to two games from Colorado already this year and I get the feeling that their official scorer is pretty reluctant to call misplays 'errors'. Today Aaron Cook conceded an earned run after a ball was 'waved at' by Clint Barmes at second.
