This will not come as a surprise to anyone after reading my column earlier in July that this is not a playoff team (even though they will still likely make the Wildcard Game due to the dearth of quality in the NL Central and East). But the Rockies made the exact right move in choosing … Continued
Last week I argued that the Rox are not a playoff team, and as such, should not be going “all-in” as regards trades. I think my article was mostly me being bipolar and off my meds, because this team does have an excellent chance to win the 1st Wild Card and even to end up … Continued
Yes…this is me saying this. So hold on to your ball cap. Okay, the purple-tinted glasses are off. We have the date for the players on this current roster. And to quote one of my favorite shows as a kid (and unwatchable as an adult) The Six Million Dollar Man (in the MLB that is … Continued
Apologies for the lack of posts of late. We are desperately trying to sell our house, waiting for news on a probably move to the UK and traveling the globe. Fortunately it means I missed the 5-15 stretch. What do you write about then? Here’s to a 4-game winning streak hopefully. Okay, to business: … Continued
Yes, the Rox are in first place. Yes, only by 2.5 and 3.0 games. Yes, it is only June 10th. But take a look at this item. The 3X World Series Champs, the San Francisco Giants, who I think other than the Cubs, are my least favorite team in baseball. I like Madison Baumgarner and … Continued

It makes fun of the fiasco that was Dunkin Donuts Park (how can … Continued

(Maybe)If they have a season, and if 12,000 people (25%) are allowed into Coors Field at some point - as the Rockies have stated July 9, 2020 at 1:24 pm on Baseball is Back! (Maybe)Hadn't heard that about him. I'm obviously not in favor of cancer in the clubhouse. 
July 9, 2020 at 8:11 am on Baseball is Back! (Maybe)Not a fan of Kemp due to Clubhouse baggage/attitude. Just seems like Bridich is throwing sh*t at a wall, hoping something will stick. July 9, 2020 at 7:44 am on Baseball is Back! (Maybe)Rox sign notorious Clubhouse cancer Matt Kemp to hang out with unhappy Nolan Arenado. What can possibly go wrong? July 3, 2020 at 8:45 am on Baseball is Back! (Maybe)And oh yeah, just remembered there's a DH! July 2, 2020 at 2:25 pm on Baseball is Back! (Maybe)I wonder who's in center (Hampson?!). And whether Matt Kemp has anything left, wherever he plays on the field; maybe he can park a
June 30, 2020 at 2:39 pm on Baseball is Back! (Maybe)60 game season - anything can happen! One of my favorite baseball quotes is from stats guy Voros McCracken: "Pretty much anyone can hit June 30, 2020 at 11:41 am on Baseball is Back! (Maybe)And Ian Desmond decides not to play this year. I respect that decision -- he's putting the health and safety of his family first.
