With Woody Paige of the Denver Post outlining his blueprint for revitalization of the Colorado Rockies, the team sets-out for its final encounter of 2013 with the Los Angeles Dodgers this afternoon at 2:10 pm MDT at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.  Meanwhile, Paige's colleague, Mark Kiszla offers a short, mystical reflection on the season featuring a couple of well-placed shots at Rockies' co-Owner Charlie Monfort that really makes you ...

Firmly ensconced in the cellar yet again, the Colorado Rockies are running-out AAA lineups, swapping guys in and out like the Beer League, and heading for vacation.  Juan Nicasio (8-9, 5.32), as bad as you can be in his last two starts, gets the call against Zach Greinke (15-3, 2.67) of the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight at 7:10 MDT at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Nicasio has failed to get out of ... [MORE]

The Colorado Rockies visit the Dodgers in the Chavez Ravine for a three-game series starting tonight at 8:10 p.m. MT. The fans get the feeling that several Rockies are being shut down for the season so they can go fishing. They are visiting just for show to let the Dodgers tune up for the post season. Sunday will be the final game of Todd Helton's grand 17-year career. The Rockies ... [MORE]

When filling out the lineup card for tonights final home game of the 2013 Rockies season, Weiss can pick up a sharpie and confidently write in Todd Helton at first base. Helton, who announced he was retiring just over a week ago, will play his final game at Coors field tonight. In last night's win over the Red Sox (8-3), Helton was loudly cheered with every at bat and play ... [MORE]

The equinox is upon us, and the baseball season is winding down too as the Colorado Rockies match-up with the Arizona Diamondbacks one last time in 2013, this afternoon at 2:10 pm MDT at Coors Field in Denver.  Juan Nicasio (8-8, 4.98) will take the mound for Colorado with an outside chance at 10 wins behind a strong performance today and a final start next Sunday in Los Angeles.  He'll ...

Jorge De La Rosa brings a mean stick to the plate.  The Rockies' left-hander, who normally makes the Colorado lineup resemble that of an American League team, has been hampered all season long by bruised fingers on his pitching hand, and lately they've not only hampered his once-potent bat, they've set him on the shelf for a second consecutive start.  Righty Collin McHugh (0-2, 7.94) gets the call instead tonight against ...

Colorado is rolling out the back ups to the M*A*S*H patients tonight. They are giving 110 percent effort and leaving nothing on the table at least on the offensive side of the ball. If the pitching staff can hold up their end of the bargain, the Rockies have a fair chance to win the series this weekend against the best lineup Arizona has to offer. William, Money, Baby Bull, ...
