Red-hot CarGo carrying Rox

Categories:

by Rich Kurtzman

Los Angeles Dodgers v Colorado Rockies

Don’t look now, Carlos Gonzalez es caliente! Carlos Gonzalez es en fuego! The Rockies’ star left fielder has caught fire as of late, helping his team to three victories in six games and get back to .500 at 12-12 overall. Wednesday afternoon, with the Rockies down 1-0 in the fourth, CarGo went deep to tie …

Rockies, Giants “Aces” implode, Rox rally to win 17-8

Rockies

by Rich Kurtzman

Big Time Timmy Jim wasn't looking so happy after only pitching 2 1/3 inning Wednesday, giving up 6 runs.

What a whacky Wednesday night in the Mile High City, where you watching? The Rockies faced division foe San Francisco, who’s ageless Barry Zito blanked Colorado 7-0 Monday night at the Coors Field opener, and with ace Tim Lincecum on the mound, the Rox chances looked bleak. But the men in purple pinstripes came out …

MLB: JUL 06 Mets v Astros

2011 has been one of the most frustrating seasons to watch if you’re a Rockies fan. They started off looking unbeatable, but fell off a cliff and into an abyss through the dog days of summer. Team-wide hitting slumps, boneheaded baserunning errors, quirky lineup choices and injuries are to blame for their current sad state …

Ubaldo Jimenez traded: A dark day in Denver sports

Ubaldo Jimenez

by Rich Kurtzman

Ubaldo_Jimenez_all_star

Ubaldo Jimenez was traded on July 30, 2011, and the unthinkable became reality for Rockies fans. Rockies’ management must have rocks in their heads. In Ubaldo, you found your man. He was one of the most loyal players in Colorado Rockies history, taking a low salary compared to other pitchers at his level, yet he …

Colorado’s Outrageous Offensive Outputs Shows Rockies are Close to Contention

Karl Gehring/ The Denver Post

Much like the weather in Colorado this summer; when it rains, it pours. Last night, the Colorado offense rocked the Braves, raining 14 hits for a tremendous 12 runs. It was one of those “nothing can go wrong” type of games that seem to come around only once a week for the Rockies this season—even …

Rockies, Todd Helton

2011 has been a year of more ups and downs for the Rockies than driving up Berthoud Pass. In April, they seemed unbeatable, starting 11-2 and finishing the first month at 17-8. Colorado was a mile higher than any other club in baseball. In May though, the wheels fell off and nearly nothing went right …

The Rockies are Crumbling into Dust

Karl Gehring/The Denver Post

Trivia time: Do  you know why the most majestic mountain range in North America is called the Rocky Mountains? It’s because the very granite and other rocks that make up the mountains are eroding, crumbling to the ground, bit by bit, boulder by boulder. The very same can be said about the Rockies of the …

Evaluating the Ellis Trade — Rich’s Take

Categories:

News, Rockies

by Rich Kurtzman

Mark is angry with Rich.

The Colorado Rockies made a move Thursday afternoon, trading RHP Bruce Billings to the Oakland Athletics for 2nd baseman Mark Ellis. While it was exciting to see the Rockies—a team falling in the standings—make a move, this trade seems straight-up silly. Colorado was already rock-solid at second, with Jonathan Herrera, Chris Nelson and Eric Young …

Colorado’s bats rockin’, Rockies winning on mile high run production

When it rains, it pours. And when the bats are a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’. The Colorado Rockies have been on an absolute tear as of late, lacing the ball as their bats boom and crack with a sound similar to a rocky mountain thunderstorm. As the Rox played the Indians in Cleveland Monday night, they …

How good is Jhoulys Chacin? All-Star caliber good

Categories:

News, Rockies

by Rich Kurtzman

(John Leyba, The Denver Post)

At the beginning of the 2011 season, who in their right mind would have guessed the Colorado Rockies would sport an All-Star starting pitcher and his name not be Ubaldo or Jorge? It’s been anything but smooth sailing for Colorado’s starters this season. Ubaldo Jimenez, the ace of the squad when the year began, suffered …
