Defense Wins Championships
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Steve Folsom.
There's an old saying in sports: defense wins championships. In baseball, defense is part of the game, but in this reference it's pitching (along with a good defense) that wins championships. Either way, that doesn't bode well for the 2012 version of the Colorado Rockies (or any version of the Colorado Rockies since their inception in 1993).

Posted on 27 Jul 2011 by Steve Folsom.
As of July 27th, the Rockies are 1-5 on their current 9-game roadtrip. I felt before they left that they needed to go at least 7-2 to get back into contention.

Below is a list of the possible trade pieces (and in Ubaldo Jimenez’s cas...
