Tulo Time? Please?



This has not been a good season for Tulo. One season after he took second place in a very close Rookie of the Year race to a game Ryan Braun, he is in the midst of a devastating sophomore slump. While Ryan Braun has continued to pound the cover off the ball (he was voted to the All Star team and took part in the Home Run Derby), Tulo has spent the majority of the season splitting time between the DL and being embarrassed at the plate.

Not only was Tulo my 4th round pick in the fantasy draft but he's also in my top 5 players playing the game today (not coincidentally, all 5 are on my fantasy team). Tulo came back from the DL yesterday (lacerated palm) and went 5 for 5 in his first game back. Here's to hoping The Vagaries of Man-Love karma will keep him going and propel the Rockies to a shot at the playoffs and my fantasy team to the league championship.

Tulo has his work cut out for him. The NL West can again be won by a run of wins. We will never see what we saw last year but Tulo has the ability to get his team back in the race. Combine that with Andruw trying as hard as he can to sink the Dodgers. 8 run inning and Andruw Jones strikes out, just classic.

Pokey... with some reasonable baseball analysis. For shame. This is not the forum. Please make a poopy joke about Tulo's mom. Thank you.
