Everyone else is doing it, why shouldn’t I? The Rookies (notice the length of this list) Wilin Rosario – A-: I know everyone loves to point out the negative (his defense) but I think his immense power potential that was shown in what amounts to 2/3’s of the season is enough to give him an …

Can Dan O’Dowd please follow? Who would you like to see as the Rockies next manager? I would love to see Joe Maddon as the next manager but could you imagine the strategic conflicts between him and O’Dowd and/or Bill Geivett? I’m not sure who the Rockies need as a manager but I would love …

The Rockies finished their home schedule with a sweep of the Cubs, only to be swept in LA by the sinking Dodgers. The final three games in Arizona will determine if this club becomes the first Rockies team to lose 100 games. One of the bright spots in an otherwise dismal year has been the …

In what was truly one of the wildest games in Petco Park history, the Rockies were mathematically eliminated from wild card contention after another late-game comeback fell short on Sunday night in San Diego, losing 12-11 in the bottom of the 9th and dropping the season series to the Friars as well, ten games to …

Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a lot of people getting down on Jordan Pacheco. The majority of the complaints focus on his defense – one comment going so far as to call him a disaster at third base – while other complaints center around his relative lack of power hitting, especially since third …

**Due to a bad, bad, man (think Seinfeld) this has not been posted in a timely manner. (Which was written before Francis’ performance last night – see #2 below.) The editor apologizes, deeply, to the boys at The View from 132 for the delay. The editor will now find someway to punish himself…probably by watching …
