June 16, 2013 - Phillies at Rockies

The Rockies got behind a very solid Jhoulys Chacin start and the game was over in 2 hours, 18 minutes, perfect amount of time since my toddler son and wife and father in law were at the game as spectators. Unfortunately Chacin's bid for a complete game was interrupted in the eighth inning and his frustration was visible on his face.  Photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

May 5, 2013 - Rays at Rockies

 

According to a new acquaintance, Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Joe Maddon likes to tell reporters that he doesn't mind "meat loafing" teams, or, is pretty happy winning 2 out of 3 games ("two out of three ain't bad"). Jhoulys Chacin had a rough day on the mound and the Rockies fall on an overcast Sunday afternoon. All photos copyright Getty Images 2013.
