You’re going to win a bet with this. A lot of bets, actually. When reflecting on the greatest players to ever suit up for the Colorado Rockies, your list may reach the 20s before you even think of a pitcher. The Blake Street Bombers are an easy five. Todd Helton makes six. There may be the entire lineup from 2007,…
Children born in 2004 are nearing graduation and starting to consider life after high school. Those kids, now approaching 18-years-old, have never seen Larry Walker play for the Colorado Rockies. Even those of a more advanced age may have observed from afar, never making it down to the cathedral on 20th and Blake Street. Of course, good parents surely showed…
This ad free episode looks into the top 10 prospects for the Colorado Rockies according to the latest list by Baseball America. We let you know who has the best tools and who are the two names you need to know a lot more about. Plus, the Rockies have done well to add minor league free agents, but there are…
The 2010 Colorado Rockies may not have been able to become the first squad to reach consecutive postseasons, but staff ace Ubaldo Jiménez certainly pitched in a fashion befitting of a playoff performance each time he took the bump at 20th and Blake during that lost season. Jiménez put together the most dominant six months of any purple pitcher with…
Jorge De La Rosa’s journey to become a LoDo legend took more twists and turns than the Elitch Gardens’ Mind Eraser. Signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks out of high school in Guadalajara, Mexico, the left-hander would flame out after 23 games as a professional before returning to his homeland to pitch for the Monterrey Sultanes of the Mexican League. The…
With three Opening Day celebrations on this date, only one did not result in a win. Although Colorado would lose 8-6 to the Diamondbacks in the first game of 2007, the year would be the most successful in franchise history. Even after the 8-6 loss at the hands of Arizona to begin the season, Colorado would enter play on May…
A rudimentary internet search reveals the first game played at Coors Field took place April 26, 1995. Dante Bichette stepped to the plate in the bottom of the 14th inning and launched a three-run walk-off homer into the night to christen the new stadium in the grandest way possible. However, that’s not entirely accurate. Before the delayed start of the…

The 11-8 loss in the NL Wild Card game the previous season…
Mark Kiszla is at it again.The Denver Post columnist continues to show why the print media industry is failing. They employ too many columnists who follow a team only long enough to put the franchise’s head in a guillotine. They rile up the passive fans and it sells a few more newspapers, but credibility is lost with fans who pay…...
Compared to teams like the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox the Rockies really do not have what anyone would call a storied history. It seems strange to think that the Rockies are entering their 18th season in the big leagues and their 16th season playing at Coors Field. The Rockies are old enough to have fans that have filled out…...
