Where did the Rockies go?

I guess the sweep got to their heads, or maybe they just need a break, but the Rockies aren’t holding up against the Blue Jays. They lost the first game in extra innings, then stumbled today through an 11-6 loss. But there’s no team in baseball that’s gone undefeated. This is just a bump the Rockies are going to have to move over and get back to playing good baseball.

How about them apples? One more game, one more game and the series is ours. I wish I had ESPN so I could hear all the hype. And now I start thinking about the what if. What if the Rockies make the playoffs? What if they make the world series? Damn that would be kick ass.

Rockies beat Yankees 3-1

The Rockies continue to impress as they hold back the Yankees 3-1 in front of a full crowd at Coors field. Sure the stadium sold out for the Yankees, but nothing like shoving it in a bunch of Yankee loving fans faces like so much dog poo. The Rockies are officially the hottest team in baseball with a 18-7 streak since May 22nd. The Colorado Rockies are now 36-34. The next hurdle? Keeping those fans in their seats after we’re done with the Yankees. I remember the Blake Street Bombers and I don’t think they could of been so if they didn’t have legions of adoring fans to cheer them on. Remember when Coors Field was just a few years old and seats were hard to get?

Tampa Bay strikes back

The Colorado Rockies finally gave in and lost a game. But what can you do when the general manager of the Devil Rays sells his soul to the Devil so they can win? You just can’t fight the devil. The final score was 7-4. A pretty big win for the Rays. The Rockies just couldn’t pump out those crucial hits when needed like they have been doing. Colorado is now on a day off as they prepare to face the other hot team in the MLB, the Yankees. Now for the true trial. The Rockies are going to have to get rock solid to hold down the Yankees.

Rockies do it again

Rocks just spanked the Devil Rays 12-2. Man this rocks. I can’t think of anything as great as my favorite baseball team rocking. They just came down like a rock slide, Slugging rocks off into the stands left and right. Ok, maybe that was too much.

They’re now 1 game above 500. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but unless you’re a Rockies fan you won’t understand. Lets hope this isn’t just a fad and they really stick to it and make it a style throughout the season.

Rockies – Wow

Rockies just won the series against the Red Sox at Fenway. I wouldn’t believe it either, so here read this:

They didn’t just win either, they pounded the Red Sox like inmates pound their prison bitches. And they did it twice, against two great pitchers. Not to mention the Red Sox have one of the best records in the mlb. First game they loose 2-1, I was happy they scored and kept it so low. I completely expected the Rockies to get slaughtered. Then they come back with a 12-2 win and then today’s 7-1. They won against an undefeated pitcher.
So what gives? Where does this come from? The Rockies loose 12 out of 13 and then the next month go on a 7 game winning streak and hammer one of the best teams in baseball. Along with winning their 4th road series.

We’ll see if it lasts, the Rockies are still … rocky. I’m skeptical like most other Rockies fans. They do have to play the Yankees who are on a 9 game winning streak.
