May 10th, 1993
We are in the Rockies, but not the right ones.
The expansion team is pitching Chris Bosio (3-2, 1.94).
The Giants have James Terrill (2-2, 4.63).
I am hitting sixth.
The park lived up to its rep early as Mike Devereaux led off the bottom of the 1st with a homer.
Rockies lead 1-0
I came up with one out in the 2nd and lined Bosio's fastball into right for a single.
Stolen base #19.
I advance to 3rd on a Matt Mieske groundout.
I was left there.
I took care of a Devereaux grounder for the final out in the inning.
I then did the same to Glenallen Hill for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 3rd.
I led off the 5th by reaching 2nd on an error by Luis Rivera at 2nd.
I went to 2nd on a sac bunt by Matt.
I got no further.
We ended the 6th with a Grebeck - Priske - Klesko double play.
I came up with two out in the 7th and I grounded out to Dave Magadan at 3rd.
With one out and one on in the bottom of the 7th, Matt brought in Kip Gross to pitch.
I got the 2nd out off a grounder by Orestes Destrade.
But then Benito Santiago hit a Grand Slam.
Matt went to Joe Boever after that.
Rockies lead 5-0
For the 8th it was Joe Hall.
In the high offence environment of Mile High Stadium, we managed zero run off three hits and lost, 5-0, to an expansion team.
I went 1 for 3 with a single, reached-on-error, and a stolen base.
We are 9-23. The worst team in the National League.
A bunch of changes happened after that.
Designated for Assignment and placed on Waivers: Mark Ross, Kip Gross, Matt Mieske
Sent to AAA Phoenix: Joe Hall, Ryan Klesko, Ruben Sierra
Called up from Phoenix: Tom Kramer, Russell Garside, Timothy McKercher, Tor O'Leary, Aaron Morris
