7/6 Cheering, Venting, & David Wright > Papelblows

I must've missed it, but the announcers in the Mets game just said Dee Gordon is out 6 weeks with a thumb injury? Surprised nobody mentioned it in the past few days.

Dee Gordon's thumb operation went as expected. He will miss six weeks.

Soo...Tyler Colvin has hit 2 HRs today already, has moved up to 5th in the Rockies lineup and has 13 HRs in under 180 ABs.

What's the scoop on this guy? Only 26, 37 HRs in a career 757 ABs, definitely not a batting average guy with a .235 career BA, but he's just been raking lately. I'm sure a lot of it may have to be Coors Field but still, he's looking like a pretty good fantasy value right now.

Today's aren't at Coors. He's got a .353 BABIP right now, which should stabilize and bring him back to batting .250 or so -- tough to do much more when you K in a quarter of your at bats. I think it's going to be tough for him to stay in the lineup every day with Gonzo/Fowler/Cuddyer -- he's been seeing more time lately, and if you've got a roster spot for him, snag him. I'm not expecting much, though, nor do I think the Rox were when got him for Ian Stewart.

Damn me for starting Hosmer over him. I knew better. *headdesk*

Rizzo is amazing.

Those blue Los Mets jerseys are fuego caliente. Johan looked like garbage in that 1st inning (lead off HR to Reed Johnson bro?), but settled down nicely and got out of trouble.

Johan's getting torn a new sphincter as I type this. His line: 4.2 innings, 13 hits, 7 earnies, 2.786 WHIP, 6 K's.

which 2 would you feel more comfortable with for the final 2 starts of the week:

Lester v NYY
Bauer v LAD
Gee v ChC

need at least 1 W, 1 QS, and ~12 Ks
