**This was written before Monday night’s game against the Giants. Some stats below might not be totally accurate. Is it just me or does it seem like the Rockies pitching has been a lot better over the past month or maybe even six weeks? It could just be recent memory since the team has allowed …

The Rockies are not going to the make the playoffs. Breaking news at 10pm! For the past few weeks there have been many Rockies fans who wanted to see the team unload some players and hopefully get something in return. The problem is the Rockies don’t have anything that any other GM in his right …

The Rockies’ struggles continued after the All Star break, going just 2-4 at 20th and Blake against the two Pennsylvania clubs. Clint Hurdle returned to Coors Field as the manager of the upstart Pirates and his presence served as a symbolic juxtaposition of the fortunes of the two franchises: the on-the-rise Pirates and the don’t-have-a-clue …

Duh. The title of this piece isn’t exactly ground breaking news: the Rockies pitching is atrocious. How bad is it? Who would most fans say are the Rockies best pitchers, right now? Or at least who has been the best year to date? I would venture to say that many fans would say Jamie Moyer …
