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. Some of the issues with the Rockies last year was out of their control; Jorge De La Rosa’s injury early in the season. A major part of the Rockies losing …

Jason Hammel out, Alex White in There were some rumors earlier this week that Jim Tracy would not be opposed to a six man rotation. With Alex White throwing his last rehab start in AA it was likely that he would make his next appearance with the Rockies. It wasn’t clear if he would initially …

Random thoughts about the Rockies and the NL West

Jose Reyes

While watching the game and keeping up with baseball in general last night I had a few thoughts run through my head. Not all of these thoughts are clean enough for any sort of public forum and even some of my thoughts relate to baseball. None of them are deep enough for me to justify …

Digging into the 16 straight losses on Sunday

Cook

From ESPN Stats: “Rockies have lost 16 straight games on Sundays. Now tied with 1927-28 and 1960 Phillies for the longest losing streak on Sundays since 1900.” This is obviously just “one of those things” that happens in baseball. I don’t think anyone can really explain it. There are the facts about how high the …

Ubaldo Jimenez traded: A dark day in Denver sports

Ubaldo_Jimenez_all_star

Ubaldo Jimenez was traded on July 30, 2011, and the unthinkable became reality for Rockies fans. Rockies’ management must have rocks in their heads. In Ubaldo, you found your man. He was one of the most loyal players in Colorado Rockies history, taking a low salary compared to other pitchers at his level, yet he …

Scouting Reports on players Rockies received in Ubaldo trade

Say goodbye to Ubaldo

You can read here on what Logan thinks about tonight’s trade of Ubaldo Jimenez to the Cleveland Indians. The Rockies sent Ubaldo packing for four Indians prospects and most might want to know more about those prospects, so here you go. The big name in the deal is also the official PTBNL (player to be …

When the unthinkable becomes reality

UbaldoJimenezNoHitter

The trade rumors that have been swirling around Ubaldo Jimenez for the last month have been surreal to say the least.  Trading Ubaldo was not something that was expected by Rockies fans before the season started.  But, what took place in San Diego tonight went beyond surreal.  More aptly, it was a total fiasco.  The …

Twitter thoughts on Rockies pitchers, former and current

Briefly with the Rockies, Felipe Paulino has found success in KC

With the Rockies struggling lately and the late night west coast games (mixed in with a two year old son who usually doesn’t sleep much later than 6am) and I find myself in bed long before 10pm. Computer shut down and in bed in time to watch Libby Weaver on Fox News at 9pm (I …

Rockies unlikely to be a factor at the trade dealine

(AP Photo/Barry Gutierrez)

Yesterday, on a SweetSpot group collaboration, I declared the Rockies to be sellers. However, last night’s performance has some people a little excited this morning. Admittedly, it was nice to see them play such a well rounded baseball game right out of the break, but I still have a hard time getting worked up after …
