It is that time of year: the snow is falling in Denver (occasionally, at best), temperatures are freezing in the morning, all the talk is about some game this weekend that will last five hours with about 11 minutes of actual action, a game in which more interest is around the commercials than the teams, …

A full quarter of the season is complete and the Rockies are a dreadful 16-27: on pace to lose a franchise record 102 games. Enough games have been played to rule out the excuses of a “slow start” or a “bad stretch” and the simple truth is that we could be watching the worst team …

There has been a lot of doom and gloom around here lately and it’s warranted. Thus far, the Rox season is best summed up as a total bed crapping – last night’s win aside. The owner’s recent comments in the Denver Post only made things worse. But, there is only so much griping and moaning …

It’s amazing how one little trade can force you to take a step back and grab some perspective. I’m not prepared to declare the Marco Scutaro trade as the deal that will put the Rockies over the top in 2012 – far from it, actually. However, if you look at this lineup as it is …

Earlier today, the Denver Post ran a story by Dave Krieger about the issues the Rockies are facing with their AAA affiliate in Colorado Springs. If you haven’t read it, you definitely should. Krieger details a myriad of problems with developing players in Colorado Springs. Most of this is common knowledge, but Krieger brings light …

Placing a waiver claim on Wandy Rodriguez was one of the smartest things Dan O’Dowd has done this season.

Unfortunately, it was nothing …

It has already been 19 days since Ubaldo Jimenez was traded to the Cleveland Indians. Just recently the “Player to be Named Later” that everyone knew to be Drew Pomeranz was made official on Monday and he is now in the Colorado Rockies organization. Alex White was the other prospect dealt to Colorado from Cleveland …

I needed to put a positive entry on this page, even if it is short. This year and especially the past month have been too painful for a lot of Rockies fans. And as long as we are looking forward to 2012 already we can still hold out hope that the Rockies farm system will …

Last night, after a three week long sabbatical to rediscover his pitching roots, Tyler Matzek returned to the Asheville rotation. The results were encouraging. Even though he walked five hitters, he struck out six in four innings and didn’t allow a run. And, according to several reports, even with the walks he was still pretty …

Before the season started the top two prospects in the Rockies organization were almost a consensus with Tyler Matzek #1 and Wilin Rosario #2. Matzek had some delivery issues (and corrections) early this year and one or the other led to an insane number of walks and a demotion to Low-A ball. Matzek recently left …
