Groundhog Day

It seems like we've seen this before. Troy Tulowitski hits a home run late in the game to give the rockies the lead only to see Brian Fuentes blow the game, leading the rockies to defeat. We have, actually. Three times in the last seven games. How bizarre is this? I mean, to have the same hero only to have the same goat three times in a period of seven days is almost unimaginable. Last night seemed like everything would be back to normal again as Fuentes retired the first two batters in the eleventh. Mr. 3000 for the night, Craig Biggio, hustled out an infield hit to keep the Astros' hopes alive. They say baseball is a game of inches and it wasn't more than a couple of inches by which Hunter Pence's groundball got under Fuentes glove to scoot through the infield for one of the strangest doubles you'll see. At this point I had a bad feeling. I won't go into the rest of the story because, quite honestly, it's a little difficult to even think about. I may need to devise a "cognitive coping strategy" in the near future. It would seem that the confidence that was high has to be at an almost season-low. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Until next time, go rockies!
