To show the Rockies were committed to winning, they gave long-term contracts to Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez for leading them to the playoffs. The Rockies shortstop earned his long-term deal for playing a role in Rocktober I in 2007, and the Rockies outfielder earned his deal for playing a role in Rocktober II in 2009. Read More →

The Rockies started spring training few weeks ago, and there is more indifference than anticipation from the public. That’s what happens when a team continues to have losing seasons year in and year out. This year won’t be any different. Read More →

The Ubaldo Jimenez trade did not work out for anyone. Drew Pomeranz and Alex White never panned out for the Rockies, and Jimenez was not the ace the Indians thought he was going to be. The former Rockies ace’s struggles in Cleveland made it easy for the Rockies to trade Pomeranz this week.

There is a perception Rockies fans come to Coors Field just to have a good time rather than watch a baseball game. That couldn’t be farther than the truth. Based on Rockies fans reacting about Dexter Fowler being traded and the Latroy Hawkins signing, they care a great deal. Read More →

Rockies fans are conditioned to think every move the Rockies make is bad. It should not be surprising they expressed their displeasure about what the Rockies received in return after trading Dexter Fowler to the Astros yesterday afternoon.

The Colorado Rockies are team that raced out of the gates on fire, going 13-4 shocking the baseball world, to a team that finished the season 74-88, back in the cellar of the National League West with the continual theme of injuries surrounding the team. Read More →

Game One of the World Series took place last night, and it’s easy to wonder if the Rockies will ever play in it again after making an appearance in 2007. The Rockies are stuck in nowhere land since their last World Series appearance. Sure they made the playoffs in 2009, but they lost to the Phillies in four games in the Divisional Series. They haven’t made the playoffs since. Read More →

Another season for the Rockies, and another losing season that includes Troy Tulowitzki being on the disabled list. It’s been too familiar. Something has to give sooner or later. The Rockies have to wonder if it’s worth paying so much money to a star that is constantly hurt every year. Read More →

The outcome of last night’s game did not matter. It would have been nice if the Rockies won in Todd Helton’s final home game, but that was not the case as the Red Sox celebrated a 15-5 blowout victory over the home team. That should not take away the memories of what took place last night. Read More →

There is always more to the story when someone resigns. Dante Bichette resigned as the Rockies hitting coach prior to last night’s game between the Red Sox and Rockies. He claimed he wanted to spend time with his family, and he also talked about the job of a hitting coach being a grind in the end. Read More →
