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.

Will the Rockies change 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.

Twitter thoughts on Rockies pitchers, former and current
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
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.
