Colorado Rockies Victims of Bad Cooking...Again

Name the second highest paid player on the Colorado Rockies.

A Great Debate: Can Any Colorado Rockies Player Make The Hall Of Fame?

One of the most interesting franchise histories in sports is that of the Colorado Rockies. Since 1993, when they joined the National League as an expansion franchise, Colorado has been known for its "Blake Street Bombers" attitude and for their horrifying home-road splits.

Playing in the thin air of Coors Field, good hitters such as Vinny Castilla were made to look like Hall of Famers. However, it may just be the thin air of Denver that keeps the black-and-purple out of Cooperstown.

The Case For

Ryan Spilborghs Carries Colorado Rockies To Sweep

This is why everyone thought the Rockies would be so good.

On Sunday afternoon at a dreary Coors Field, Ryan Spilborghs led Colorado to a 10-3 win over the Blue Jays, completing a three-game sweep.

Spilborghs completed perhaps the best weekend in his career by going 3 for 5 with a triple and two home runs. The Santa Barbara, CA native raised his average over .50 over the three game set, finishing with a .291 mark.

Jason Hammel Dazzles Blue Jays in Rockies' 1-0 victory

Jason Hammel has figured out the winning formula when the offense doesn't score many runs. That formula? Don't allow the opponents any runs.

Hammel, battling the ugly weather, looked less like a fifth starter and more like a guy who any team would love to have in the second or third spot in their rotation.

The righty went eight shutout innings on Saturday. He gave up three hits and three walks while striking out six.

Rockies-Astros: Colorado Rally Falls Short as Record Drops Back to .500

Sometimes there is a silver lining.

Losing three-out-of-four to the second worst team in the National League seems like it would be horrible.

Make no mistake, the losses sting, and frankly, the Rockies are digging themselves a hole that they may not be fortunate enough to climb out of. However, the Thursday matinée at Coors Field provided at least a glimmer of hope.

Rockies' Non-Existent Offense Loses Again

Where is Jim Mora when you need him?

Wednesday night would be a perfect chance for his famous "playoffs, playoffs?" press conference.

A team that seemed to be destined to win their first-ever National League West title, the Rockies look more like the team of the early 2000's that struggled to win 70 games every year.

Colorado Rockies Ride Jason Hammel To Victory Over Houston Astros

The Colorado Rockies have a good problem.

How Have We Overlooked Ubaldo Jimenez?

The 1968 season pitched by St. Louis Cardinal's ace Bob Gibson (22-9 , 1.12 ERA, 268 strikeouts, 0.853 WHIP, Cy Young, and MVP)  is the standard of supremacy that every pitcher aspires to match. (Where was Gibson's run support that caused him to lose nine games with that earned run average?!?! )

Jim Tracy, Junior Varsity Rockies Lose to Diamondbacks

  If you are looking for one reason why the Colorado Rockies lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 on Saturday night in Phoenix, look no further than manager Jim Tracy.

Colorado Rockies Continue to be Victims of Bad Cooking

A steady dose of Aaron Cook was all the Diamondbacks needed to break a 10-game losing streak. Arizona defeated the Rockies 7-6 on a walk-off single from Brian Roberts.
