For the Colorado Rockies, the Playoffs Start Now

That was a difficult series to take. With the win on Monday, the Rockies were riding high—3.5 games out of the wild card and gaining ground with a rare road win.

Two games later, and two close losses later...well, it's not as happy times. There is no joy in D-ville.

The Rockies continue to be a tale of two teams with extremes I’ve never seen before. Home, they are a smooth team, with the best hitting numbers in the National League. On the road, they are one of the worst teams in the league.

Colorado Rockies Lose Big Game to San Francisco Giants: Are They Done?

For as much hope as Monday night's win against the Giants brought to the Rockies' playoff chances, Tuesday and Wednesday felt like an anvil to the head.

The Rockies lost 2-1 to the Giants in the finale of the three-game set, dropping the series. The loss came from sloppy play and sloppy at-bats. It was another wasted Ubaldo Jimenez start, which now makes the once-ridiculous question become more real: Will Jimenez win 20 games in 2010?

Jim Tracy Costs the Colorado Rockies Another Game

Hindsight is 20/20.

It is easy to second guess a manager's decisions, but Jim Tracy makes it easy. The problem with being stubborn is that you are too stubborn to learn from your mistakes.

From the looks of it, Tracy doesn't realize that a run counts the same whether it is scored in the first inning, fourth inning, or ninth inning. He thinks that only the runs in the ninth count.

Colorado Rockies Come Up Clutch vs. San Francisco Giants

For eight innings it looked like the same old story was writing itself. "Rockies fall flat on the road," "Rockies leave bats at Coors Field...again."

Carlos Gonzalez, however, changed that headline to something that hasn't been seen in the 2010 season: "Rockies come from behind in ninth inning."

Albert Pujols, Joey Votto and the X-Factor in Race for the Triple Crown

Every few years before the All-Star break, a slugger has a big first half and triple crown talk gives way. By August, a triple crown seems like a distant memory. The hopeful who was likely leading one or two of the three categories in June, has either slumped, been pitched around, or just simply not had the luck required to accomplish this amazing feat.

What the Colorado Rockies Must Do To Make the Playoffs

These Colorado Rockies are the girlfriend who keeps breaking up with you, only to say that she made a mistake and asks for you back. You know she is going to break your heart again, but you have to take the chance.

After a convincing 10-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, completing the club's first series victory over LA since August 2008, the Rockies sit just 4-1/2 games back in the National League wild card chase. They have also crept within eight games of the National League West lead.

Colorado Rockies Lose Because of Bad Managing

Jim Tracy cost the Rockies not only a game against the Dodgers on Friday night, but more importantly, a game in the National League wild card race.

It may get old to hear, but the fact is, for every button that Tracy pushed correctly in 2009, he is pushing a wrong button in 2010.

On Friday night, the Rockies dropped the opener of a three-game series against the Dodgers 6-2.

Were there other factors in the Rockies loss on Friday? Of course. However, the reason Colorado lost came courtesy of one decision from the Rockies' dugout.

Sizing Up the National League MVP Race

It’s time to size up the National League MVP race. Or what what I like to call the “Albert Pujols’ to lose” award. This year, Pujols is getting a run for his money by a couple of young studs.

Here is how I see the NL MVP race shaping up…

Colorado Rockies Fall Try-Outs Continue with Pitchers

The Rockies have swept the Atlanta Braves and now once again find themselves on the edge of the playoff picture only four games behind in the Wild Card Race.

However, it’s not all good news as reliever Manuel Corpas went down with an injury. Corpas will have an MRI done today, and the Rockies are hoping he won’t have to have Tommy John surgery. Yeah, it’s a bad injury whenever TJ is thrown out there.

Colorado Rockies Continue To Dominate at Coors Field

Dr. Jekyll, meet Mr. Hyde.

The Colorado Rockies won again on Tuesday night at Coors Field 5-2, defeating another pitcher with a long resume of Major League success.

A two-run first inning homer off of the bat of Carlos Gonzalez and a solo shot in the sixth gave the Rockies enough to get past the Braves.

Just for insurance, Dexter Fowler added two more with an eighth-inning, bases-loaded hit up the middle.
