A challenging and intriguing next few months lie ahead for the defending Super Bowl champs, but whatever transpires, John Elway and the rest of the Broncos' organization have proven time and again of late that they can be fully trusted to make the right moves.
The story writes itself. The predictable ending is so ridiculous it has become comical in a forgettable season for the Colorado Rockies. With a 4-2 lead, Chad Bettis, the Rockies starting pitcher headed to the showers after a stellar outing. The six innings of seven hit baseball, giving up two runs put his team in a great position to…...
The Colorado Rockies hold the distinction as only one of three Major League franchises that have never lost 100 games. Three weeks ago, it looked like that mark would stay in-tact. Instead, the Rockies have gone from crashing and burning in another terrible season, to dumping kerosene on the fire and trying to incinerate anything remaining. On Monday, for…...
Jorge De La Rosa did what he has done 1,000 times. He struck out a bunch of Diamondbacks. In fact, while recording his 1,000th career strikeout, De La Rosa pitched the Colorado Rockies out of their losing streak and gave them some momentum. The Rockies bullpen predictably had fans biting their nails late in the game, but ultimately the…...
The Colorado Rockies look like they are headed in the right direction. For those who have been reading Rockies Review for a long time, that may come as a surprise. Less than a year ago, the Rockies franchise was one of the worst in all of sports. It was a complete mess. They had an owner who was meddling…...
Salt River Field at Talking Stick The time has arrived. The Colorado Rockies head back to Scottsdale to train for another season. For every baseball fan, this is an exciting time of year. There is reason for every team to hope, and the Rockies are no exception to that. This is a team that has been decimated by injuries in…...
Dick Monfort is the real problem for the Colorado Rockies. Dreams do come true. However, as is the case with Colorado Rockies fans, those dreams don’t always play out the way they were originally thought up. On Wednesday morning, Rockies fans were jolted out of their sleep by text messages from friends announcing that Christmas had come early. The Rockies…...
The Rockies said goodbye to the Sky Sox. Goodbye, Colorado Springs. Nice knowing you. Goodbye, Tulsa. It was fun while it lasted. See ya later, Pasco, good luck in the future. The Colorado Rockies announced big changes on Wednesday, moving their two top level minor league affiliates from Colorado Springs and Tulsa and signing on with Albuquerque and New Haven,…...
Franklin Morales couldn’t help the Rockies score runs on Saturday. Every game counts. Baseball purists will talk about how important every game is in a 162 game season. They will point to several seasons in which it came down to the final game, and even on occasion the 163rd game in order to sort it all out. Don’t tell a…...
Tommy Kahnle struggled on Tuesday night. There is only one guy left to be convinced, but that guy is the only one that counts. After another brutal loss in extra innings to a terrible Chicago Cubs team, the Colorado Rockies are in a bad spot. Not only are they dead last in the National League West, they are hopeless. This…...
Time for Dan O’Dowd to be thrown off of the ship. Fire up the bus, the Colorado Rockies excuse tour is about to begin again. Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post continues his beatdown of the Rockies front office in several pieces over the past few weeks. However, he highlighted exactly where the frustration arises from Rockies fans in his…...
Bill Geivett probably isn’t thrilled to find out he is taking the blame. Remember Memorial Day? It seems like a long time ago, right? It was May 26th, and while the Colorado Rockies struggles had already begun, few had any idea how bad it would get. Since Memorial Day, the holiday that was over two full months ago, the Rockies…...
Chad Bettis has been destroyed by the Rockies. There are 53 mountains in Colorado that are over 14,000 feet. On July 22nd, after another blown lead by the bullpen, it feels as if the Colorado Rockies have been on a 14,000 foot slide down the standings. After Tuesday night’s loss, the club has lost 24-of their last-28 games. In 2007,…...
The Rockies brand needs to be a bad one. This too shall pass. Colorado Rockies fans are starting to wonder if that famous saying is actually true. Lately it seems that the suffering will never, ever pass. On Tuesday, Rockies owner Dick Monfort was at it again. Instead of going off and hiding in the woods somewhere without his iPad,…...
Dick Monfort often gets labeled as extremely loyal. Stubbornness is often mislabeled as loyalty. Let’s get something straight, Dick Monfort may be the most loyal person on the face of the earth, but what is going on with the Colorado Rockies owner has nothing to do with loyalty, it has everything to do with stubbornness. Throughout the P.R. disaster that…...
Dick Monfort seems like a very nice guy. He just doesn’t know baseball. On the field, the Colorado Rockies won their fourth game in 22 chances. That alone should be enough to celebrate. However, more pressing news came as Dick Monfort broke his silence and sat down with Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. The interview was both revealing, damning,…...
Tyler Matzek was better than his line suggested on Monday. Apparently Major League Baseball likes to torture Colorado Rockies fans. Down 6-1 with no chance to catch up to the lowly San Diego Padres at Coors Field on Monday, the rains came down and it looked like fans might be spared the torture of watching the final two innings of…...
Can De La Rosa pitch everyday for the Rockies? The Colorado Rockies like to use unconventional wisdom in their front office. Maybe they can go back to the baseball thoughts of the early 1900’s when a team had one starting pitcher and he pitched complete games every day, sometimes twice if there was a double header. Why would the Rockies…...
Dan O’Dowd might be effective with some help. I admit it, I am a person who believes in black and white. I am opinionated, and it is hard to convince me that I am wrong. Those opinions also make me passionate. If I believe in something, it takes strong evidence to sway me otherwise. For years I was a Dan…...
Christian Bergman was great in his Major League debut. If the Colorado Rockies stay healthy. If this team finds a way to keep guys off of the disabled list. Last year was sabotaged by injuries. This year they are going to be healthy. Those are all things that the typical Rockies fan gets used to hearing every year. Those types…...
