Rockies Losing Streak Continues
Apr 22nd
The Arizona Diamondbacks came into yesterday’s match up against our beloved Colorado Rockies as a team in the midst of a batting slump. Fortunately for the Diamondbacks, the pitchers for the Rockies continued their mediocre play, leading to a 6-3 Arizona victory. Jason Marquis gave up all 6 runs, including home runs from Mark Reynolds and Miguel Montero. The Rockies didn’t bat poorly, they had 8 hits including a homer from Ian Stewart, but runners were still on base far too often at the end of innings.
Ian Stewart has batted well for the Rockies this season
It has now been 4 games since a Rockies victory, but it is still early in the season. I am hoping that our pitchers are just shaking off the cobwebs from the offseason and getting prepared to pitch some stellar games. The Rockies face the Diamond backs again today, and hopefully they can maximize on all their scoring opportunities.

Colorado Rockies Get Revenge Against Cubs
Apr 16th
The Colorado Rockies got revenge against the Chicago Cubs yesterday, beating them 5-2. It was very nice to see the Rockies get some hits after their 4-0 trouncing against the Cubs earlier this season. Former Cub Jason Marquis pitched well for the Rockies, something Cub’s fans didn’t seem to appreciate as they constantly booed him. I’m glad he is with the Rockies now, and a win against the Cubs must have felt good for him. If the Rockies continue to play like this then we may end up having two playoff teams in Colorado. It is never too early for optimism!

The Denver Nuggets got their butts handed to them by the Portland Trailblazers last night 76-104, not a good way to go into the playoffs. I would have much preferred a win so we could go into the playoffs with a little momentum, but it was not to be. Carmelo Anthony had a very poor shooting night and finished with only 12 points. Chauncey Billups played well as usual but it was not enough. The Nuggets still have home court advantage, and will be playing the New Orleans Hornets in the first round. I think this is a winnable series and should provide some exciting games, but the Nuggets will definitely have to play better than they did against Portland.
