Can Dan O’Dowd please follow? Who would you like to see as the Rockies next manager? I would love to see Joe Maddon as the next manager but could you imagine the strategic conflicts between him and O’Dowd and/or Bill Geivett? I’m not sure who the Rockies need as a manager but I would love …

30 games below .500
The Rockies fell to 30 games below .500 after yesterday’s gut wrenching loss to the hated San Francisco Giants. With the team up 6-4 going into the eighth and Matt Belisle coming into the game and the bottom of the Giants punchless order most thought the game was over. But this is baseball and each …

I really hate the Rockies leadership
That’s right: HATE. Writing about the insanity that is the Colorado Rockies is growing tiresome. I have spent the better part of 2012 writing only negative crap about the Rockies. The Rockies are a team I genuinely root for and hope that they do well; I want them to win. I don’t like to be …

First I was like…then I was like…
This is my summary of last night’s performance by Jonathan Sanchez, in pictures. In the first inning, this was my reaction: Two ground balls and a strikeout! This is the Jonathan Sanchez from 2010!! As the second inning started, I was like:

Rockies stats review, 2 months in
After a month of games I reviewed the individual team leaders early in May. This time I am going to look at how the Rockies rank in various categories as a team or by position. With a little over two months of action I think it is safe to say we know what the Rockies …

Rockies designate Jamie Moyer and other Rockies thoughts
Today the Rockies did what was inevitable: designate Jamie Moyer for assignment. This means that Moyer’s time with the Rockies is over. A team could claim him on waivers, if they so choose, and work a trade with the Rockies. If no one claims him he could go to AAA or opt to “retire”. Again. …

Jim Tracy in a Nutshell
We complain a lot about Jim Tracy on this blog, and I’m sure that sometimes it seems like we are unfairly picking on him. At times, I have even wondered if maybe I just target Tracy because that’s the simple and easy thing to do. When a team plays awful, it’s always easy to place …

10 doom and gloom stats
Reading Blake Street Bulletin is getting depressing. Writing about the Rockies is getting depressing. But I try to think of something positive to write every day and struggle to come up with anything that I could even put a tiny bit of meat on – I’m talking a chicken wing from KFC after I got …
