Actually no.

Boise is still playing. Headed to the top of the 7th.

That's right

The wrap is all written except for Boise. Listening to the Hawks online right now.

I usually wait up for them, but it is getting late over on the East Coast...

you have me checking the scores every day, glad you do, or I

never would have heard Colvin get his last 2 hits.

Looks like they took it away from him

The single is now listed as an error on Jerry Sands.

Wow. What a crappy move.

You officially awarded it a single to give him the cycle and you take it away!? Don’t mess with it.

by Ryno G on Jun 18, 2011 2:11 AM CDT up reply actions

I thought it stunk

when they took that HR away from him the other night. This really stinks.

Fasten those seat belts...

what a tough year he has had...

I hope he just goes ballistic on them this series…

I was kind of worried, as the announcers didn't really say much on the hit.

I couldn’t tell if it was hit well or the guy just made a mistake…that is stupid that they would make that kind of change…sounds like a home town decision because they realized he hit for the cycle…that should be protested, but I don’t know if it can be overturned

guess it makes those 3 runs in the 9th "unearned" that is B.S.

Call him up...

…while he’s hot! We need to see Colvin for an entire season—-win, lose, or draw. – TL

One game doesn't make you hot.

He needs to find his swing for an extended period before we call him up.

by bdlugz on Jun 18, 2011 11:43 AM CDT up reply actions

NO

We really don’t NEED to see him again this year.

I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers

he

needs to remember how to hit mlb pitching, this was a tough loss for the cubs.

by NOMAR on Jun 19, 2011 3:24 PM CDT reply actions

Why bother?

No sense in calling him up, he’ll just ride the bench. He needs some regular at-bats, to string a few games together and get a second look next spring. I don’t think he’ll ever hit for much average, but he’s got enough pop to start everyday as a complimentary piece. Plus, he’s pretty good defensively. I prefer his ceiling over anything Byrd can provide.

Can't we go ahead and officially replace Wayne Messmer with Dwight Smith?
