First from Saunders Jorge De La Rosa will be shut down until September at the very least, and the possibility exists that he will not pitch at all for the …

Editor’s Note: If you haven’t heard Dan O’Dowd’s recent interview with KOA’s Rockies Dugout, you really should fix that immediately. However, if you don’t have time — or even if you have heard it — here is an outstanding summary that Rockies fan, Blake Street reader, and local Denver attorney Chris Chrisman posted on Twitter …

Life has gotten in the way of my writing lately. I will be leaving the company I have worked for since 2002 early next month and begin a new job with a new company shortly thereafter. This has led to lots of time spent away from the computer and enjoying the outdoors before I start …

This evening I had the privilege of being on 104.3 The Fan with Sandy Clough to talk about the Rockies and clearly the discussion among Rockies fans is who should be fired? Or should anyone keep their job? Rockies fans are getting so frustrated that they are not just asking for Bob Apodaca or Jim …
