Thursday Rockpile: For the rest of the NL, your time's up
The move from Tucson to Scottsdale was a big boost for the Rockies Spring attendance, but also for a springier Todd Helton. A rebounding Helton is still an off the radar development for most baseball observers outside of Denver (for instance, note a complete fantasy absence of Helton on lists,...
How The West Was Won: Animating a Divisional Race
Updated to include team names. - ed In my last post I tried to dive into some more complex (read: confusing) methodology and, though the graphic turned out to be quite pretty to look at, there were some flaws in the data behind it. So, for my next project, I decided to stick with something more...
Saturday Rockpile: Rockies hoping for more wins inside NL West, more
Armstrong: Winning West? Hey, it's a start - The Denver PostThe Rockies finally having a winning record inside the division. The Last time this happened? Last April, when the Rockies took 2 out of 3 from Arizona to open the season. How about a couple more to give yourself some cushion, eh...
Rockies 11, Padres 10: Well, that was interesting...
I must be bad luck. The moment I turned on the game, Juan Rincon began walking the entire San Diego roster and Franklin Morales couldn't get the third out to save his life. BUT, right when I turned off the game, Morales (apparently) induced a game-ending flyout and the Rockies held on to beat the...

Loss doesn't deck Rockies - The Denver PostThe Rox are still upbeat despite losing 2 out of 3 to the first place Dodgers.

Rocktaugust!TM Just joking. But, in all seriousness, this month - as of late, especially - is playing out wonderfully so far. Troy Tulowitzki's bases-loaded single in the bottom of the tenth inning gave the Rockies their second straight walk-off victory - the first time the Rox have done that...
Saturday Rockpile: Who takes Cook's rotation spot?, Matzek headed to Casper, more
Cook leaves with shoulder injury against Giants : All Things Rockies ColoradoAaron Cook just hasn't been the same since aggravating his toe injury in Philadelphia, and now he has a bum shoulder to go with it. As Troy Renck mentioned, Cook's velocity was way down and the plus control he usually...

Cook, who allowed 2 runs on 9 hits (and no walks), won his 10th...
