2 days in: thoughts on the Rockies

1) The defense is good...really good
2) This team looks like it can play both ways, ie close low scoring or outscore you (even though they lost game 1)
3) Did I mention the defense is good?
4) 2 starters with finger issues in 2 games is not a good trend...lotion sponsorship opportunity?
5) Huston Street still scares me,  but I went through the Brian Fuentes era so I'm prepared
6) The defense is good
7) Can we give Betancourt some Red Bull before he goes out?  I understand controlling the tempo on the mound, but this is a bit much.
8) Tulo will hit...hopefully soon
9) Netta's new approach looks good; I credit the pornstache
10) Finally, the defense is good
