Default Gamethread: 4/17/10 Rockies @ Braves

Top of the third. The Rockies are up 1-0. I don't know how they got the run.

So...he's walked a half-dozen, but he has a no-hitter going. I guess that's the definition of controlling a game.

So...Jo Jo Reyes was DL'd with strained right knee and Jonny Venters (seriously...Jonny?) makes his debut.

Does Heyward have any brother's that we may have drafted?

I'll even take a watered down half brother twice removed. If I were Wren, I'd go out and draft his fu**ing family tree.

Kellog, or however you spell this umpire's name, is absolutely awful. The strikezone for Jiminez has been gigantic all night.

Fortunately, that was probably it for Ubaldo. 114 pitches.

Well, he just hit, so I guess they're keeping him in. And why not? He's got a no-hitter, and he's shut us down for four innings.
