5 Months Ago, JinAZ from Beyond the Box Score says (in BtB Power Ranking Season Review: NL West) 4. Colorado Rockies.  TQI = 0.572 One of the things I was happiest about this season with respect to the power rankings was how quickly they picked up on the Rockies "Jim Tracy" turnaround.  On June 3rd, just as Hurdle was fired, they were down to 22nd in the rankings.  But on June 17th, they were...

And Russ from Purple Row says (in Rockies 4, Phillies 5: Rocktober ends before it ever really began) But this is not the end for the Rockies. This is not the end of the beginning. Two thousand and nine was the beginning of the beginning. Rocktober will return with a vengeance in 2010 as (and here's the first prediction for 2010) the Rockies storm their way to an NL West title.

And Russ from Purple Row says (in Rockies 1, Phillies 5: Cliff Lee twirls a gem for Phillies in Rockies dud) The Rockies ran into a buzzsaw today, and it's name is Cliff Lee.

An assortment of regulars and scrubs played out the string on the 2009 regular season in a meaningless game 162. The Rockies fell to 92-70 (two games behind LA in the NL West), which is still their greatest record ever, and will play t...

And Poseidon's Fist from Purple Row says (in Dodgers 5, Rockies 0: Divisional Dreams Die at Dodger Stadium) It was a nice dream while it lasted, but the Rockies' fairy-tale hopes for the end of the season imploded in Hollywood tonight.  Had Colorado won tonight and tomorrow, they would have secured the NL West title and home field advantage throughout the National League playoffs.  Instead with...

6 Months Ago, theoldgrizzlybear from Purple Row says (in Rockies 7, Brewers 5: Chris Iannetta picks up Huston Street; Colorado's Magic Number down to 3.) Iannetta blasted a 3-2 offering from veteran reliever David Weathers into the Rockies' bullpen to give Colorado yet another walk off victory, this time beating the Milwaukee Brewers 7-5. Iannetta was pinch hitting for Matt Belisle, who pitched a scoreless top half of the 11th to earn the...
