If the story of 2021 St. Louis Cardinals sounds familiar, it’s because you’ve already heard it once before. It’s the tale of the 2007 Colorado Rockies. At least, that’s how it appears and what fans of the Redbirds are hoping for, minus the World Series result. “I do not want to be the team that runs into them,” said AT&T…...

While the past few seasons have been bad, the 2014 campaign has been marred by guys going onto the disabled list. No one will ever…...
Shhhhh, don’t tell the Colorado Rockies. Everyone who walked into Coors Field on Sunday knew what day of the week it was. Everyone except the team wearing purple pinstripes. Whether they were told it was Saturday, whether they were simply just due, the Rockies pulled off what has proven to be a difficult task. They won on a Sunday. After…...
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.

Things more exciting than watching the Colorado Rockies:Knitting a sweater. Working a 16 hour day. Pulling out fingernails with tweezers.

Through the first few innings, the game had a similar look and feel to it. Despite a 0-0 score, the Colorado Rockies were playing as if they were going to have a tough time winning. Jhoulys Chacin had worked his way out of two jams, but was missing with his location badly and didn’t seem to be on top of…...
