It sure has been a week of movement for a team floundering after such a fantastic start. While glimpses of the poor play that earned the Rockies NL West last place last year have been flashed around with absolute abandon, there have been some call-ups that many a fan has been begging for. Here are the moves made this week: TYLER CHATWOOD UP It isn't certain who will be sent down to ... [MORE]

Troy Tulowitzki is out of the lineup again, this time because of "minor swelling in his left groin". He believes he tweaked it in the LA series and an MRI showed there was something there, but it is "unrelated" to his previous groin issue, according to the team. The Rockies will take on the NY Yankees at Coors for three, starting tonight at 6:40. Here is the starting lineup ... [MORE]
Hey guys, I am going on my annual work trip to Asia and I need to find someone willing to cover Thursday for the pre/post game write-ups. I've had Jeem helping out over the past year for many of the writing duties, as you all know, and RockyMountainHigh has been taking over a couple of days a week as well. I'd love to find a few of you that wouldn't mind taking a ... [MORE]
The saying "pitching wins ball games" is complete crap when compared to RISP. If you can't hit with runners beggin to come home after getting themselves into a position to score, you might as well be playing soccer. For those that want to read a recap of today's game, might as well brush up on friday nights failure. Two games out of three the Rox went 0-9 with RISP. ... [MORE]
There is one stat and one stat only that tells the "tale of the tape": 0 for 9... That's it. That's your ballgame right there. Nevermind that the Rockies came out swinging at the beginning, showing Matt Moore and his 1.13 ERA what it's like to play a team with legal-lumber and a license to swing. First time through the lineup: Fowler gets a single, Cuddy a 2-run HR, Rosario a double, Rutledge ... [MORE]

The MLB Network released their All-Time Rockies Starting Lineup a bit back, and it got me thinking about what you guys think would be an all-time starting 9 for the boys in purple. Here is what the MLB Network thinks is the perfect lineup, as well as a little "poll" for what you think they got right (or wrong)... ALL TIME STARTING 9 Eric Young 2B Ellis Burks CF Larry Walker RF Todd Helton 1B Matt Holliday LF Troy Tulowitzki SS Vinny ... [MORE]
As announced by several media outlets, and Oswalt himself, it looks like the Rockies are picking up a new picture. Roy Oswalt will join the minor league team in extended spring training, and then apparently join the team in a few weeks if all goes well. At least, that's what all the speculation is. It's hard to know fact from fiction this early, but the truth is that this could ... [MORE]
The Yankees, with Kevin Youkilis nursing a spine bruise, have picked up Chris Nelson from the Rockies for cash considerations and a player to be named later. The Rockies could see Nelson next week when the Bronx Bombers come to town.
