This might not be controversial, but there typically isn’t anything super about a super-utility player. When a player is not overtly skilled at one position or cannot move to another place on the field without issue, their time in MLB may be limited… unless they are adequate enough to carry numerous types of mitts in their equipment bag. For Charlie…
DENVER – The result of every Colorado Rockies game counts… until it doesn’t. Unfortunately, plenty of fans and analysts around the game seem yet undecided on this issues. Sure, there has been no effort to move the club (thank God) but the folks in charge of talking on TV and/or voting for awards to celebrate the very best our…
It finally happened. The Colorado Rockies have finally said that Jon Gray has done everything that he can in Triple-A to prove that he deserves a shot at the Major League mound. He will make his much anticipated debut on Tuesday night at Coors Field against the Seattle Mariners. The hard-throwing righy out of the University of Oklahoma was…...
Roy Oswalt is still a Rockie. Just like late on a Friday afternoon after a long week of work, the Colorado Rockies can see the finish line.

It isn’t everyday that any team gets to Kershaw. The Rockies did on Monday. Colorado Rockies fans would loved to have Monday’s loss to the Dodgers be a heart breaker.

Rockies fans are going to make tough choices if nothing changes. Chad Bettis will have to wait at least one more start before picking up his first Major League win on the mound. The rookie looked like he was going to pick up the win, giving the Colorado Rockies a split of the four game series with Philadelphia before Josh…...
Roy Oswalt was better than his line showed in his debut. The Colorado Rockies continued down the wrong path on an east coast road trip that is becoming a trend at least once a year for this franchise.

The Rockies are a better team if Jeff Francis is part of the pastnot a part of the future. This Colorado Rockies lost their best player last week.

Sorry Jeff, it’s time for the Rockies to say goodbye. The Colorado Rockies saw their chances at tying the game in the 9th inning on Saturday fade away with one quick grab by Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko.

The Rockies have a pivotal homestand starting on Thursday. One step forward, two steps back. That may be the best way to describe the Colorado Rockies month of May so far. With a chance to win a three-game set in Chicago and salvage a road trip that started off on such a bad note, the Rockies barely showed up on…...
Carlos Gonzalez had a career night on Tuesday in Chicago. Listen to the national media and it is clear to them. Carlos Gonzalez is a Coors Field creation.
