3 Up 3 Down: Enjoying the Moment

Tulo is back!

As of Friday morning, the Rockies are 6-0 at home, 11-4 overall, and in first place in the NL West. Let that sink in for a minute. Yes, the schedule has been weak. Yes, better opponents are on the horizon. Yes, O’Dowd is still GM. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look at the standings …

Major League?

“Maybe these guys ain’t so fu**in’ bad.” That’s the thought running through my head, as well as the rest of the Rockies’ fans. When they started off 5-1, it was easy to dismiss considering they had played a mediocre team in Milwaukee and a much worse team in San Diego. After the Giants took the …

The Colossal Collapse of 2010

20130409-125212.jpg

On September 18, 2010, the Rockies, led by two Troy Tulowitzki home runs and eight shut-out innings by Jhoulys Chacin, beat the Dodgers 12-2 to move within a game of the first place San Diego Padres and a half game back of the Giants. Colorado was sitting on 82 wins with fourteen games left to …

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’m looking at Game 1 as a positive

Dex trotting the bases after his game-tying HR late

I watched nine hours of straight baseball yesterday. It. Was. Awesome. It started early with the Yankees and Red Sox, two teams sure to fight for last place in the AL East, or so I can hope and finished with watching some of the Cardinals and Diamondbacks in bed before falling asleep around 8:30 or …

The Rockies sign Jon Garland

garlandjonpen

Yesterday the Rockies singed Jon Garland to a Major League contract and the assumption is that he will take Drew Pomeranz’s spot in the rotation. Apparently the Rockies aren’t too keen on Pomeranz’s spring and feel he would be better served to continue to work on his mechanics in the minor leagues. He has spent …

Some thoughts on the Rockies

I have a bunch of random thoughts flowing through my head and not sure each one deserves its own post. So here are a few things related to baseball and the Rockies….I am not sure how I can express how badly I cannot wait for April to arrive. Spring officially starts tomorrow and my family …

First Impressions

20130306_085726_0308_deportes

Editor’s note. This was sent into our Supreme Master last week, but our Supreme Master was off vacationing in Maui! Why isn’t he watching every pitch of every Rockies Spring Training game? I asked the same question and all I got in return was some sort of Corona induced psycho babble. In any case, we …

I’m sold: start Arenado on Opening Day

Arenado

Nolan Arenado has come out swinging in Spring Training, literally, he hasn’t taken a walk yet but he does have three bombs. For a kid who had a down year and some questioned his mental preparedness he has come out swinging to start Spring Training in an effort to get a strong look and make …
