Maybe — just maybe — it’s the baseball writers who don’t count. We stand at an impasse where either baseball in Denver is a joke… or the Hall-of-Fame voting process is. What’s a guy gotta do around here? Specifically, around here.  With the news that Larry Walker will, again, fall well short of the cutoff for enshrinement into Cooperstown—coming off a…...

On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman takes questions from Twitter about the Colorado Rockies remaining plans for the offseason, what it would take to land White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana, and how deserving Todd Helton and Larry Walker are for the Hall-of-Fame. Of course, it wouldn’t be a current Rockies conversation without some Ian Desmond…...

The torch of the Colorado Rockies has officially been passed. Dante Bichette passed the torch to Larry Walker, Larry Walker passed the torch to Todd Helton, Todd Helton passed it to Troy Tulowitzki, and as the 2015 season comes to a close, it can be officially stated that Nolan Arenado has picked up the torch that Tulowitzki left on…...

Time flies. Sunday marked the 20-year anniversary of Dante Bichette drilling a no-doubt home run to left-center field, christening Coors Field in the 14th inning and setting the stage for so many more wild and crazy games at Coors Field for years to come. It doesn’t seem that long ago. Later that same year, the Rockies, just three years…...

As Peyton Manning took the field for the first time in an orange and blue practice jersey, nearly 4,000 on-lookers cheered. The Denver Broncos opened training camp, and on a Thursday, a work day for most, passionate fans poured through the gates at Dove Valley to watch the team that hasn’t finished above .500 since 2006 stretch and go through…...

On Wednesday, the Baseball Writers Association of America announced the 2011 class of Hall of Famers. After spending 14 years of being denied, Bert Blyleven made it in, along with perhaps the best second baseman of all time, Roberto Alomar. Both, in my mind, are worthy candidates. However, much of the talk around Colorado was about how first-time-eligible Larry Walker…...

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…...

Much like Major League players, baseball fans often enjoy a day off every now and then. With baseball’s grueling schedule that sees a team get three days off per month, it is nice to take a breather.Off days are not spent wondering how the Rockies offense is going to step it up, or if Ubaldo Jimenez can continue his dominance,…...

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…...
