Quintanilla makes it to "The Show"

The Colorado Rockies have purchased the contract of INF Omar Quintanilla from Triple-A Colorado Springs and he will join the team on Sunday.

He hit .346 with a home run, seven RBIs, three doubles and two triples in his first 13 games with the Sky Sox.

Glad to see one of our homegrowns getting a shot at the Bigs.  Here's to wishing Omar well and a very successful rookie year and career in Colorado.  Go Omar!

Melody -- At least you'll get to see Omar this week.  Guess those Rockies-Giants tickets aren't worthless after all :o)

No wonder the Rockies suck
Methinks they're rushing him after a hot start in the thin air of Colorado Springs. Why rush him? It's not like the Rocks are going anywhere anytime soon. Might as well leave him developing at AAA for the rest of the year.

Are you kidding? In that division?
In a sea of mediocrity, perhaps the mountain perspective is enough to get the Rocks over the top.  For simple reasons of theatre, who wouldn't root for the Rockies to win the West.  They don't have to get good, even, just a little better than break even, and that should do the trick.

Its enough to make Barry get off his ever-expanding behind and make it back to Balco Field for an Aug/Sept run.

Congratulations, Omar!
I've already watched more Rockies games this week than I ever thought I would.

Yeah
I look at the Dodgers' record, and I feel sorry for DePo since his team is 10 games under .500, but then I look at the standings and they're only 4 games (!) out of first place. Crazy.

Go Omar!  I hope he hits .320.
