BIG AL MCMORDIE
Philadelphia Phillies at Colorado Rockies
Monday, October 12th, 6:05 PM ET
There was once a time, not that long ago, when the Rockies had one of the most feared offenses in the game, but that is certainly not the case anymore. Unlike the Rockie teams of yesterday, the 2009 version has been winning more games with quality pitching and good defense than by scoring double-digit runs. And especially against Philadelphia lately, the Colorado bats have gone pretty quiet for the most part as heading into Sunday night's make-up game the Rocks had only scored seven total runs in their last four games against this team. An unfortunately for them, they will have to once again face Cliff Lee in this fourth game of the series and Lee has not been kind to Colorado lately, beating them twice; once in the regular season final meeting of these two, and then again in the ALDS opening game, and in each game Colorado could only manage a single run against the southpaw ace. Colorado will send their game one starter to the mound as well in righthander Ubaldo Jimenez, and although Jimenez struggled in game one, he has actually pitched better at home than on the road this season, so look for him to bring his 'A' game this afternoon at Coors. Good luck
