Forgive Rockies fans if they are not sure how to act this weekend. The Colorado Rockies advanced into unfamiliar territory on Friday night and won 4-3. Never in the 17 year history of the Colorado Rockies, has their been a regular season game that followed the team clinching a playoff spot. The two previous times the Rockies advanced to the playoffs came on the last day of the season, or in 2007Æs case, ...

Who would have guessed this? Who would have believed that the Rockies, 12 games under .500 and better than only the Washington Nationals on June 3rd, would be heading to the playoffs. The Rockies defeated the Brewers 9-2 on Thursday afternoon at Coors Field. It was a methodical offensive onslaught and the dominating pitching from resurgent and clearly healthy Aaron Cook. Cook pitched eight innings, giving up just one run ...

At Coors Field on Wednesday night fall was in the air. The wind blew trash around the ballpark all night long and the temperatures dipped. It was a feeling that the Rockies are looking forward to getting used to. Behind the wild, and somewhat effective Jason Hammel, the Rockies picked up their 90th victory of the season, winning 10-6, tying a club record for most wins in a season. ...

Clint Barmes is a hard worker. He does not possess the natural talents to be in a big league uniform. In order for him to keep his job he must constantly work on his game, finding ways to get better. Through hard work, his defense has become better than almost anyone's in baseball.The Colorado Rockies needed his defense in the worst way on Sunday against the Cardinals. ...

The Rockies entered Saturday nightÆs game with the Cardinals with a three game lead over the Braves in the National League Wild Card race. Atlanta had already won big over the Nationals earlier in the day, so the Rockies would need a win to keep the lead at three and a half games. The Rockies mounted rallies, but ultimately fell short, losing 6-3. Colorado have never been in this position before. ...

Talk to anyone about baseball in Colorado and inevitably what will come up is how different the game is at altitude and how many runs are scored at Coors Field. In fact, most believe that it is nearly impossible to pitch at 20th and Blake. The people who continue to refer to Coors Field as the best-hitters park in the league have not been paying attention lately. In the latest ...

Ouch. This one hurts. The Colorado Rockies blew a 3-0 lead over the Padres, losing 5-4. It was just the sixth time in 2009 that the Rockies lost a game at Coors Field in which they scored first. After a three-run home run in the first inning off the bat of Troy Tulowitzki, the bats went silent, but that by no means was the reason that the Rockies ended up ...

When the Colorado Rockies stumbled out of the gate, winning less baseball games than any team in the league besides the Washington Nationals, Jason Marquis was the silver lining. In the first two-and-a-half months, Marquis won eight games after a Rockies loss. His sinker was nearly unhittable. When he took the mound a Rockies win seemed nearly automatic. The right-hander earned his first all-star berth, tied for the ...

A win is a win. Every win counts the same, but some are larger than others. This one was as big as it gets. The Colorado Rockies picked up their 86th win of the season, defeating the Padres 11-10 at Coors Field. The win, coupled with the Giants' loss in Arizona, gives the Rockies a five game lead in the National League Wild Card race. With 11 games to ...

The Colorado Rockies will go into Tuesday's game with the San Diego Padres with a four-game lead in the Wild Card race with just 12 games to play. The sheer numbers say that the Rockies have nearly secured their position in the playoffs. That thought is hard to comprehend for anyone who was following the Rockies in April and May. The Rockies fought their way back from 12 games under .500 ...
