Colorado’s Jamie Moyer Becomes the Oldest Pitcher Ever to Win a Major League Baseball Game

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

Jamie Moyer's story began as somewhat of a novelty. He was a 49-year-old pitcher coming off of Tommy John surgery who was invited to Colorado Rockies spring training and that in itself seemed like the feat. Then the story grew as it appeared he would make the club and he ...

Jamie Moyer: “I have a good chance just like anybody else in this camp has a really good chance of making this team.”

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

The Colorado Rockies made headlines this off-season by opting to not add to their roster, but instead build around it with the seven-year extension they gave to franchise shortstop, Troy Tulowitzki.

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Rockies Ride Carlos Gonzalez During Playoff Push

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

It was less than two years ago that fans of the Colorado Rockies were debating whether or not trading outfielder Matt Holliday was a good idea. Now, the key prospect the Rockies picked up in that trade will be the reason they make the playoffs if they can cap off ...

Ubaldo Jimenez Is the Early Favorite for NL Cy Young

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

I have a confession to make.  At the beginning of the year, I really didn’t have much of an idea of who Ubaldo Jimenez was and I certainly didn't consider him one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball.  After all, last year Jimenez was just 15-12 with a 3.47 ...

Brad Hawpe On Eve Of MLB Postseason

What a stunning turn around for the Colorado Rockies. After an abysmal start to the year, the Rockies fired their previous manager Clint Hurdle, and hired old Dodgers skipper Jim Tracy. Since about June 1st, the Rockies have been dynamite, storming all the way back in to the NL West ...
