Finally, a well played baseball game. The Colorado Rockies, struggling on a very important road trip, played a complete ball game. The bats finally broke out as the team beat the Diamondbacks 10-4 at Chase Field on Saturday night. The Rockies took the early lead on a Carlos Gonzalez home run to lead off the game, then added another run on Troy Tulowitzki's 29th home run of the season in the ...

September...It's the month when memories are made. Two years ago the memories that were made for the Colorado Rockies and their fans was the famous run to the National League pennant, it was of erasing a six game deficit and finding themselves playing the Padres at Coors Field in a winner-take-all one game playoff. It was Matt Holliday sliding somewhere near the plate and being called safe. All the September memories ...

Was that fun? There are Rockies fans everywhere with purple faces, and it has nothing to do with face paint and team spirit. It has everything to do with them not breathing for a full half inning. Eight innings of excitement for Rockies fans were followed by one inning of hair pulling, heart racing gut wrenching baseball that ended up in the Rockies favor–barely. The Rockies held on ...

So much for burying the Giants. After a second straight lackluster night in San Francisco, the Rockies found themselves up just 2.5 games in the National League Wild Card race. With a 4.5-game lead coming into the series, it was well reported that if the Rockies won just one game in the series, they would be just fine. That is still possible, but after the way the Rockies played on Monday and Tuesday ...

The Colorado Rockies have stormed back from a 15.5-game deficit. They were fighting with the Nationals as late as the first week in June for the worst record in baseball. They lost their manager, who was fired for losing the team. They stormed all the way back in just over two months to find themselves leading the wild card race and nearing the division lead. They have stormed ...

Make no mistake, Jim Tracy is the reason that the Colorado Rockies have a firm hold on the National League Wild Card race. That said, Jim Tracy’s run of pushing all of the right buttons has come to an end. When Tracy took over for Clint Hurdle on May 29, the Rockies were 12 games under .500 and 15-1/2 games out of first place in the NL West race. They were ...

Yorvit Torrealba did his best to be the hero for the second night in a row, but the Colorado Rockies ended up losing in the 10th inning on a bases-loaded walk to Padres pinch-hitter Nick Hundley. Torrealba, who hit a bases-clearing double in the ninth inning on Friday night to break up a shutout and hand Heath Bell his first blown save of the season at Petco Park, drove in pinch ...

Never, ever go to sleep on these Rockies. On a night that seemed primed for a letdown, the Rockies came off the deck in the ninth inning, off perhaps the best closer in the National League, to win 4-1 against the Padres in San Diego. After completing a 10-game home stand in which the Rockies went 9-1, the Rockies were going on the road to face a hot San Diego team, winners ...

National League West watch out, here come the Colorado Rockies. After being swept in San Francisco, giving away their four game wild card lead, the Rockies have fought back and won the games they needed to win. After Thursday's 5-1 win over the Reds, the Rockies completed a 9-1 home stand in which they gained 4-1/2 games over the Giants in the Wild Card race. The strength of this team is their depth, ...

Is it still drama when the outcome becomes the expected? The Colorado Rockies once again walked off with a victory when it looked like they had been beaten. On Wednesday night, the victim was the Cincinnati Reds, a team who stormed into Coors Field winners of their last seven ball games. Now they are hoping to salvage the day game on Thursday in order to avoid being swept. On Wednesday night, the ...
