Tyler Colvin stated his case on Tuesday night. Apparently Tyler Colvin knows how to make his case better than the guy he was traded for, Ian Stewart.

If the Colorado Rockies want to play in meaningful games in September, they are going to have to play like they did on Thursday night far more frequently.Going into the 2011 season, most expected far more games like this.
