Sunday Notes

20130407-084501.jpg

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 …

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 …

3 Up – 3 Down: Oblivious (like a fox?) Ownership

Dick Monfort recently offered Rockies fans some ocean front property in Arizona.

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 …

Who is the first to get the ax?

Is Apodaca to blame for Chacin's troubles? Franklin Morales?

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 …

Winter Follies, Spring FANtasies

We're killin' it, Dick!

Although I’m inclined to agree with our honorable skipper here at BSB, sometimes it’s just too darned difficult to accept the Rockies’ front-office shenanigans without wondering how things might’ve turned out if other, more competent people had been running things. Like the fans, for instance. Rockies fans, like my Grammy, with the team’s best interests …
