Rockies rally for 6-5 victory

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves kept their champagne on ice. Instead, this was a night for a more poignant, personal celebration.
Todd Greene hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Braves last night, preventing Atlanta from clinching at least a tie for its 14th straight division title.
While most of the Turner Field crowd groaned when Greene homered, a small group of family and friends cheered—including the catcher's father, Charles Greene, who's fought a long battle against lung and bladder cancer.
"My dad's having some trouble, but he was able to be here," said Todd Greene, a native of Augusta, Ga., who lives in suburban Atlanta during the offseason. "The last time he saw me play (in person) was when we were here last year."
Chris Reitsma (3-6) took over with one out in the eighth and didn't retire anone.
Colorado came all the way back from a four-run deficit, taking advantage of the Braves' shaky bullpen.
Matt Holliday and Garrett Atkins hit back-to-back singles before Greene drove a 1-2 pitch into the center-field seats, a 406-foot shot for his seven homer and the Rockies' first lead of the night.
"With all my family and friends here, yes, it was the biggest hit I've ever gotten," Greene said.
Reitsma threw a changeup where he wanted — low and over the inside corner — then watched in disbelief as the ball sailed out of park.
"It was 3 inches off the

ground." Reitsma said. "What can you do? I don't know if he was looking for it. Whatever. You've got to tip your hat to a guy in that situation. It's not fun to do, but that's why they call it the big leagues. It was a good pitch in a good location."
Ryan Speier (2-1) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win. Brian Fuentes worked the ninth for his 31st save, ending the game by striking out pinch-hitter Brian Jordan with a man on third.
Space had already been cleared on the facade in left field, where the team displays pennants for each of its playoff seasons.
But there was nothing to watch on the scoreboard much of the night. The Phillies' game against the New York Mets, set to begin a half-hour earlier than the one in Atlanta, was delayed
for more than 2 1/2 hours by rain in Philadelphia.
The Phillies and Mets finally began about the time the Rockies were coming to bat in the seventh, ruining any chance of a celebration at Turner Field.
Colorado's comeback made it a moot point — there would be no outright division title on this night.
"I'm kind of glad," said Adam LaRoche, who homered for the Braves. "If we had won, we would have come in here and watched television for two hours to see if the Phillies won. I'm not saying I would have complained. Obviously, that would have been better than this. But it will all work out."
Jeff Francoeur also homered for the Braves, and Johnny Estrada's two-run double off rookie starter Mike Esposito pushed Atlanta to a seemingly comfortable 5-1 lead in the fifth.
Colorado began its comeback in the sixth, though a baserunning blunder messed up a potentially huge inning.
straight hits, including Todd Helton's RBI double and Garrett Atkins' run-scoring single.
On Helton's hit, Luis Gonzalez came streaking around third, intent on scoring another run. But coach Mike Gallego threw up the signal to stop, Gonzalez fell down, got caught between bases, tried to score and was thrown out easily by Rafael Furcal's relav.
Blaine Boyer replaced starter Horacio Ramirez and gave up two more hits, putting the potential tying run on base. But the rookie escaped the jam by striking out Greene and Dustan Mohr.
In the next inning, Boyer threw his first pitch in the dirt and appeared to be in pain.
He rubbed at his right biceps when trainer Jeff Porter came to the mound, and manager Bobby Cox signaled for a new pitcher.
Boyer has been bothered by a sore shoulder, and Cox mentioned the biceps as being the source of the pain.
The pitcher said simply: "It's just my arm."
Ramirez gave up eight hits and three runs in 5 1-3 lmings.
The Rockies started with five
The team said Boyer was day to day, but it's too early to tell how long he might be out.
Esposito has yet to win in two big league starts, giving up nine hits and all five Atlanta runs in 4 1-3 innings.
Notes — Colorado had 15 hits. ... Francoeur had the first two-walk game of his young career — a sign of growing patience for a hitter who went 131 plate appearances before drawing his first walk in the majors. ... Helton extended his hitting streak to 13 games. ... Greene her homer ruined Ramirez's chance to tie his career high of 12 wins. ... Atkins had three hits and two RBIs.

NEW YORK — Yankees star Derek Jeter has received a threaten letter reportedly warning him to stop dating white women or "he'll be shot or set on fire."
FBI special agent Scott Wilson, speaking by phone from Cleveland, confirmed the bureau's probe yesterday, saying "we have an ongoing open investigation into racially threatening letters to Jeter and others across the country."
He declined to comment further.
The New York Police Department has also investigated the matter.
The Daily News reported yesterday that the hate mail to the Yankees' 31-year-old captain called him a "traitor to his race" for dating white women. It warned him "to stop or he'll be shot or set on fire," the News said.
The Daily News reported that others received similar threats.
including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jason Taylor and the parents of tennis star James Blake.
Jeter, picked by People magazine as one of the world's most eligible bachelors, has been linked with models, singers, actresses and athletes of various racial and ethnic backgrounds in New York's gossip columns. His mother is white and his father is black.
The NYPD's hate crimes unit recently completed a four-month investigation into the letter to Jeter — mailed to Yankee Stadium earlier this season, according to Detective Brian Sessa.
In an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS" "60 Minutes," Jeter said that he and his sister were taunted for being bi-racial while growing up in Michigan. But Jeter said that he has never heard any racial epithets from the fans at Yankee Stadium in his 11 seasons as a Yankee.
The threats have been traced to the Cleveland area.

Son of former Jayhawk signs to play in 2006-07
Brady Morningstar, the son of former Kansas basketball star Roger Morningstar, will play basketball for the Jayhawks next season. Morningstar, who played high school basketball at Lawrence Free State High School, committed to Kansas this past weekend.
Morningstar told rivals.com he decided to commit after a visit with Kansas basketball coach Bill Self and his staff.
"Coach Bill Self and Coach Joe Dooley came to my school on Saturday," Morningstar told rivals.com. "I gave them a tour of the offices, campus and my
room. It was really great to see a couple of faces from my hometown. After the coaches and I talked for a couple of hours, I decided that I was going to attend Kansas."
Morningstar was also being recruited by Tennessee, Northern Illinois, Texas Christian and West Virginia. He is expected to be a scholarship athlete for the Jayhawks during the 2006-2007 season, according to rivals.com.
The 6-foot-3 shooting guard is spending this year at The New Hampton School, a prep school in New Hampshire.
