On September 18, 2010, the Rockies, led by two Troy Tulowitzki home runs and eight shut-out innings by Jhoulys Chacin, beat the Dodgers 12-2 to move within a game of the first place San Diego Padres and a half game back of the Giants. Colorado was sitting on 82 wins with fourteen games left to …

As of this morning, the Colorado Rockies are in first place. Just let that sink in for a minute. Feels nice, right? Things have gone exceedingly well so far in this young season. Naysayers, before you get fired up, let me just stop you here. I’m not declaring this team to be great by any …

Opening Day Wishlist

20 years ago, 80,000 plus fans showed up to watch Major League Baseball in Colorado. It's been a wild ride since.

Today marks the 20th year of Major League Baseball being played in Colorado.  That’s a remarkable thing.  I still remember visiting Colorado as a kid and getting all excited about the new baseball team with the cool colors and logo.  Twenty years later, I never could have guessed how my relationship with this team would …

Torito!

For those that aren’t completely wrapped up in Peyton Manning and the Broncos, there was some noteworthy baseball news today.  The awards for AL and NL Rookie of the Year were announced.  The Rockies had a horse in the race – Wilin Rosario – but there was never really any doubt about this one.  This …

A common train of thought these days is that managers, by-in-large, do more harm than good, and furthermore, even the good ones are generally overrated.  I don’t agree with that.  Just because leadership isn’t quantifiable doesn’t mean it isn’t extremely valuable.  To see an illustration of this, you need to look no further than the …

Since the Rockies are looking for a puppet, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog seems like a terrific choice.

You’ll have to forgive us for being so quiet lately here at BSB.  It’s taken a bit longer than I expected for me to get over the seven month gut punch that the Rockies just gave us.  I’m sure the same can be said for everyone else.  The home squad lost 98 games, Tulo missed …

I’ve been pretty quiet for the last couple of months, and for those that care, I apologize for that.  My goal is always to post on Blake Street frequently, but sometimes life takes over and this gets put on the backburner for me.  Thankfully, the rest of the BSB crew has done an excellent job …

Nolan Ryan probably hates the Rockies

Can you imagine what would've happened if any team tried to Nolan on a 75 pitch count?

As of this morning, the Colorado Rockies are tied for the worst record in all of baseball.  When O’Dowd decided to introduce his grand Coors Field pitching experiment, many asked if things could actually get worse.  Well, things are worse.  Being baseball’s most putrid team is in no way a good thing.   The first pick …

Crying over Coors and not trading CarGo

He's not going anywhere, unless O'Dowd just hates Denver, which might be possible.

Over the weekend, Dan O’Dowd went on a political style campaign tour to make sure everyone listening knows that the state of the Rockies’ pitching is Coors Field’s fault.  That’s the way it seemed anyway.  First, the great Jerry Crasnick of ESPN published a story about how Coors Field is playing like Coors Field pre-humidor …

Rockies fans deserve better

According to ESPN’s standings, the Rockies have a 0.7% chance of making the playoffs.  For a team ranking in the top five in runs scored, it’s pretty remarkable that they’re effectively eliminated from the postseason and it’s only mid-June.  However, there has been a lot of doom and gloom around here lately, so I’m going …
