A good day for Colorado sports

Well it was a good day for two of the professional sports teams in Colorado, the Colorado Avalanche and the Colorado Rockies.

The Colorado Avalanche came back from a 2-0 deficit to score four straight goals to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 to clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.  Peter Forsberg scored his first goal of the season and they looked pretty good through the second half of the game.

The Colorado Rockies had a re-do and beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1.   The original opener was rained out after the St. Louis Cardinals had opened up a 5-1 lead.  Thank goodness for the rain.

Let’s hope the good news continues for these two teams as the spring continues on and into the fall for the Rockies.

Congrats to the Red Sox

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox on winning the 2007 World Series.

They played the best baseball throughout this Series and deserved to win.

The Colorado Rockies had a wonderful season and fought to the end.  I think this is only the beginning of a wonderful run for the Colorado Rockies.  They have good base of players, a good minor league system, and a good future.

See you in April.  Go Rockies!

World Series Game 4 not going well…

Well Aaron Cook has done what he has had to do in the game so far.  He has kept the Boston Red Sox in check and has given up only two runs.

The problem is that he has no run support.  The Rockies had lead-off hitters at second with no outs a couple of times, but they have not been able to get them home.

The bats need to awaken and the Rockies hitters need to relax.

Let’s go Rockies!

It is now time for the Rockies to get going and win a game in the World Series, or it will be time to go home.

The Rockies offense began to wake-up in game 3, but the pitching has still be abysmal.   They will need an all-out-effort tonight to have any chance to be the Red Sox.

Let’s have a good game.  Go Rockies!

Rockies Go Down 2 Games to 0 in the World Series

Well the Colorado Rockies went down 2 games to 0 losing to the Boston Red Sox tonight in Game 2 of the World Series.

The Rockies are now making the mental errors, almost trying to hard.  You could see that in the Top of the eighth when Matt Holliday got picked off first base.  They are also horrible with runners in scoring position.  I think something like 1-12.  This is something that they did quite well in the previous two series.

But tonight I think the umpiring was working against them also.  Laz Diaz, the homeplate umpire, had a lot bigger strike zone for the Red Sox than he did for the Rockies.  This was especially true for the right-handed hitters of the Rockies.

Several times Diaz called a strike that was several inches off the plate or high in the strike zone.  The Rockies never got those pitches called a strike.

The game changes a lot for Game 3 on Saturday night when the Red Sox have to play National League Baseball and sit one of their hot bats.  I think that it will be a different game.  Rockies will win Game 3.

Go Rockies!

Rockies owners must go, NOT!!

The Denver Post – Rockies owners must go

This article was written in May after the Rockies struggled in a series against the Kansas City. Mark Kizla got it all wrong in this column. The owners made a commitment to build from within and they are going to have a stronger team because of it.

It was going to take a while to build a strong team and there were going to be struggles.

But they far exceeded everyones expectations, except their own, and are now playing in the World Series. They are going to have a strong team for a long time. It is only the beginning.

Go Rockies!
