The first two weeks of the season have been representative of the ebb and flow of every baseball season. From the “Another Rocktober!” optimism of a 5-1 opening week to the “100 losses here we come” depression of a sweep in San Francisco, the Rockies have watched the pendulum swing both directions already. Only time …

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 …

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 …

Today marks the 20th year of Major League Baseball being played in Colorado. That’s a remarkable thing. I still remember visiting Colorado as a kid and getting all excited about the new baseball team with the cool colors and logo. Twenty years later, I never could have guessed how my relationship with this team would …

Spring is officially here: longer days, warmer nights, and the Rockies are still in contention! Yep, opening day is officially upon us and hope springs eternal (or so we are supposed to believe). The lingering disappointment from the 2012 season is still heavy in the mountain air, but 2013 is all about new beginnings (bonus …

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 …

As major league teams (and we BSB writers) finally emerge from off-season hibernation, a entire month of spring training games in those two sanguine states of Arizona and Florida offer baseball fans a sneak preview of future prospects, flashes of brilliance from replacement players doing their best to earn a roster spot, and brief glimpses …

The offseason is officially over (and Bronco mania has subsided), which means that we can begin to look forward to 2013 and grasp for reasons to believe it will be better than the disaster of 2012 – the eternal optimism of spring training. While other teams like the Indians and Royals made big moves to …

Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday (and commercials were filmed). The rest of the team is required to report by next Saturday (February 16th). First Spring Training game is at home (but the Rockies are the away team) against the Diamondbacks on February 23rd. First official “home” Spring Training game at beautiful Talking Stick is the …

What was Clint “Deer Meat” Barmes hiding from the rest of us? Is there a drinking problem within the Helton household? Apparently driving 4×4′s under the influence of alcohol – allegedly – isn’t the only thing Todd Helton drives when inebriated. Unfortunately. Helton has been the face of the Colorado Rockies since the late 1990′s. …
