I about pissed myself today, a win on pitching? Unbelievable. This is the same Rockies that couldn't keep a pitcher in the World Series for more than 5 innings, that swapped out 10 pitchers against the San Diego Padres in the wildcard game. Get me some new undershorts.
Leftie Jorge De la Rosa proved his worth today with 5 shutout innings, allowing only one hit and one walk. Releiver Jason Grilli gave up a hit and a walk while Taylor Buchholz merely hit a batter. Brian Fuentes closed the game for his tenth save in 13 opportunities.
Depth on the mound has always been a weakspot for the Rockies, but De La Rosa proved that while he's not found a starting spot in the majors he's deserved every shot teams have given him.
One first deserves another, as the Rockie's superior pitching also gave them their first win against Chicago in franchise history. The Rockies have now beaten every team in the Major Leagues at least once. Their last place position in the National League West may not be adequate for the Rockies after these turn arounds.
