Obviously, last year was extremely disappointing for every Rockies’ fan.  The truth is that the team we all expected to contend at the beginning of the season had a lot more weaknesses than strengths.  There were massive holes at third and second base, and the outfield was pretty weak against left-handed pitching.  But, even with …

Will the Rockies change in 2012?

Will Cook be back with the Rockies in 2012??

Let me summarize the 2011 season for the Colorado Rockies: disappointing, horrendous, embarrassing, laughable and Troy Tulowitzki is by far the best shortstop in baseball.

Analyzing recent Rockies lineups

Iannetta bats leadoff and Nelson plays everyday

There are some unwritten manager rules in baseball that have been around a long, long time. Some of them are OK, like giving your pitcher the green light to throw at an opposing player when the opposing team plops your stud hitter in the back. Some of them are just plain dumb, like putting the …

With the Colorado Rockies 10 games behind the National League West leading San Francisco Giants and Carlos Gonzalez hitting the disabled list today due to tendinitis in his wrist the Rockies hopes, however small, of making the playoffs are gone. CarGo tweaked his wrist yesterday against Tommy Hanson and even though he flew with the …
