Back in late March, before this disappointing season ever got started, the Rockies declared 2012 to be “The Year of the Fan.” Much to their surprise, and to ours, there would be next to nothing for Rox fans to cheer about through the first half of the season.

IMG_20120713_184519

Coming out of the All-Star break it is easy to forget that the Rockies returned to action this weekend. The team was 19 games under .500 and tied with the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros with the fewest wins in baseball after the first half. Not a lot to root for. But maybe that wasn’t …

Tuesday Morning Shortstop: Game of Thrones

There’s a saying on HBO’s hit television show Game of Thrones, and that’s “You Win or you Die.” Well, from the Rockies perspective, not only are they dead right now – due to a nauseating amount of losing recently – but their heads have been chopped off, just like poor old Ned Stark. In fact, …

Crying over Coors and not trading CarGo

He's not going anywhere, unless O'Dowd just hates Denver, which might be possible.

Over the weekend, Dan O’Dowd went on a political style campaign tour to make sure everyone listening knows that the state of the Rockies’ pitching is Coors Field’s fault.  That’s the way it seemed anyway.  First, the great Jerry Crasnick of ESPN published a story about how Coors Field is playing like Coors Field pre-humidor …
