'Twas the night before the 2007 National League Championship Series, or Happy Birthday to Troy Tulowitzki!

10 Oct 2008 19:56:16 PDT

Written by Russ
Having swept the Philadelphia Phillies, the Colorado Rockies had to wait and wait and wait to start the next series. As did the Arizona Diamondbacks, who swept the Chicago Cubs. For four days, fans of both teams endured the wait. Just read what Rox Girl had to say the day before the first game:

Hawpe's solid season a building block

Written by Thomas Harding
Rockies right fielder Brad Hawpe had a solid season, hitting .283 with 25 homers and 85 RBIs. He prefers to look at small chunks of the season, which has helped keep him focused. Hawpe is signed through 2010, meaning he is a cornerstone for the future. Hawpe's season a building block

Remembering Rocktober NLDS Game 2: Rockies 10, Phillies 5

04 Oct 2008 15:25:07 PDT

Written by Rox Girl
The outcome of this game was supposed to revolve around which potent lineup feasted most off of which untested rookie. It didn't disappoint. Troy Tulowitzki and Matt Holliday started things with a bang and back to back homers in the top of the first. Franklin Morales was hit hard by Jimmy Roll...

While it is almost certain that the Rockies will trade Garrett Atkins to make room for Ian Stewart, the true question is whether or not they will trade Matt Holliday. If the Rockies are to trade both Atkins and Holliday, they could strategically trade for prospects to help them across the bo...

I am talking to my mom and tell her to buy as many tickets as she can to the playoff games. She asks “What if we don’t make it to the NLCS, we’ll lose a bunch of money from those fees”. I tell her to not worry because this team will never lose again. There is no way, The Rox are too hot right now to be sto...

That's not happening for them this year; their luck on fifth starters ended, their run on health ended (Troy Tulowitzki, Todd Helton, and Matt Holliday have all spent substantial time on the DL), a lot of the things that went right for the team didn't break for them this year. Their young rot...

The future of the Rockies, part 1: Catcher

11 Sep 2008 19:54:29 PDT

With the minor league season over, and the Rockies’ season effectively over following a three-game sweep in Atlanta that’s pushed the team to 67-80, it’s about the time to start thinking about the future of the team. We here at Up in the Rockies don’t write a great deal about the minor league...

First half in review: What’s wrong with the Rockies?

01 Aug 2008 07:44:08 PDT

Written by Tom Stephenson
No Rockies games for three days. Well, we can support Aaron Cook and Matt Holliday in the All-Star Game, but other than that, the Rockies have three days off. And it’s probably a good thing after a first half in which almost everything that could go wrong went wrong. The team started [...]

One good thing: attendance continues to impress. Obviously, the tenth-anniversary celebrations and some cool giveaways likely helped lure more people to the ballpark. But compared to the equivalent second home series in 2007 [which was also over the weekend against the Rockies], crow...

There just really isn’t a lot going on with the Rockies. There really hasn’t been much going on at all since the end of the World Series. Well, we signed Mark Redman and Kip Wells. Hopefully, they’re just insurance and aren’t going to be taking rotation spots away from guys like Franklin [...]

Yet I envy the Rockies. They've made it this far. They'll probably be dismissed as hopeless lightweights when (when, not if) they lose this World Series, but I hope their fans have enjoyed the unanticipated ride. No, they're likely not enjoying much right now, as evidenced by Fox's continua...
