It looked like it would be a pitchers duel with our guy out of bullets and their guy firing a double-barrel. Five innings in and the only clear message came from Haren, one to the beat of "Can't Touch This." And then Tyler Colvin stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the fifth and the script changed. The new script read: Rosario Walk Colvin HR (right over the head of our ... [MORE]
The Washington Nationals have been big news lately, but more for who's off the field as opposed to what they are doing on it. Today saw a pic tweeted of Bryce Harper at the airport with a massive leg brace after his 2nd opinion appointment. It goes without saying he won't be taking the field tonight. Nor will Strasburg, thankfully, as he is on the DL and not slated to ... [MORE]
The Rockies find themselves in the enviable position of holding a full house when it comes to the 2013 MLB draft. The Astros have the Royal Flush and the Cubs the Straight Flush, but the Rockies could have a winning hand if they play their cards right. The projected player to go first is RHP Mark Appel from Stanford. Jonathan Gray, another RHP, is thought to go second. That would leave ... [MORE]

How many times has RISP played into this seasons games? Well, tonights affair is no different. However, with the Rockies RISP number of 1 for 9, the discussion thankfully is focused on how in the world did the Rockies put up a 12 spot on the Reds? The answer lies squarely on the bats of CarGo, Tulo and Helton. Those three combined for six home runs and 11 of the 12 ... [MORE]
What many (ok, RMH) were calling a throw-away for sure loss has turned into an intriguing match-up for the final game in Cincinnati. Johnny Cueto, who was supposed to be on the mound tonight against the struggling Garland, was just scratched and placed on the 15-day DL with lat strains. His replacement, Pedro Villarreal, is a much better proposition for the Rox, although the team can find ways to make ... [MORE]
While there's still time to salvage the series against the Reds, the bigger questions is the status of Tyler Chatwood. Chatwood came out after four innings in last nights loss and is flying back to Denver today for a precautionary MRI. His tricepts injury could land him on the DL, meaning a big piece of the Rockies pitching puzzle will be missing. Jeff Francis is on his way back via ... [MORE]
Losing one game in 162 isn't that big of a deal. Losing one pitcher in five, that's a whole different story. Especially when said pitcher has been the best on the staff since his mid-season call-up. Tyler Chatwood felt some "startling" pain in his right triceps during the Rockies 3-0 shutout at the hands of the Reds. He lasted only four innings and left with only one run on the board ... [MORE]
The Rockies are coming off a series win against NL West rival's the LA Dodgers. Dexter Fowler has been heating up again, and over the past nine games he's hitting .406 (13-for-32) with 2 doubles, 2 home runs, 6 RBI, 9 runs, 11 walks and 1 HBP. His .568 OBP during those 9 games is tops in the Majors. One of his hits was the walk-off against the Dodgers Saturday ... [MORE]
Tonight's game just pissed me off...too angry to do a post game. Rox lost to the Astros 7-5 and dropped 3 of 4 to the last place team in the MLB. Freak...
