And Bruney does his job as Atkins ground out to A-Rod, tough hop but he takes it himself to 3rd.
3-1 Rockies after 7, let's get some offense!

Top 8th
Manuel Corpas, who has been very good this year, is in for the Rocks.
Damon pinch hits and pops out to center field.
Cabrera hits a hiiiiiiiiiiiigh chopper towards second that just doesn't get down until he's well past first base, infield single.
Jeter almost got hit near the hands for the umpteenth time...behind 1-2, let's see if he can do something.
And the answer is no he can't, flies out to Hawpe in RF. Two outs with Abreu up.
Abreu grounds a single through the left side past a diving Tulowitzki, Melky to 2nd...well lookie here, another huge spot for A-Rod. 2 on, 2 out, down by 2.
He walks on 4 straight pitches...bases loaded for Jorge Posada, what a huge at-bat.
And that'll be all for Corpas...LATROY HAWKINS will come into the game interestingly enough. Bases loaded, 2 outs, Yankees down by two, WE GOT DRAMA!
(btw why is Brian Fuentes not coming into this game?)
**** **** **** **** ****...another well hit ball goes right to Tulowitzki who gets the force at 2nd...un****ingbelievable
Bottom 8th
Hawpe leads off with a single.
Oh yeah...JOHNNY DAMON IS PLAYING FIRST due to the double switch, Posada is catching and the pitcher's spot is due up 8th, Cairo will probably pinch-hit there.
Tulowitzki bunts the runner over, man on 2nd 1 out.
A-Rod with a DIVING stop and throw to retire Torrealba, great play for the second out of the inning.
Ryan Spillborghs is pinch-hitting for the pitcher's spot.
And he flies out to right, so a nice job by Bruney.
Buuuuut the Yankees have some serious serious work to do against the awesome Brian Fuentes, down 3-1 heading into the ninth inning.
Top 9th
Matsui just CRUSHES a hanging 1-1 breaking ball...but foul.
As I'm about to hang myself though, he smacks a double into the right-centerfield gap. So the tying run is on base with nobody out.
