Rockies Time



HAPPY JUNE!  Now that the Nuggets season is all done, all I have to talk about now is the Rockies!  Yea yea, I could talk broncos but really, we can wait till summer training camps to get going on the NFL.  Im sure ESPN is still doing NFL live shows every day! 

Welcome to the Jim Tracy era.  Although we lost yesterday afternoon, it has gotten off to a good start.  Winning the first two games but dropping yesterday.  Can someone tell me how Jorge De La Rosa still has a starter job?  Really?  He is now 0-6 as a starter.  Can you say Franklin Morales?!  I know I can!  Put De La Rosa in the bullpen or send him down here to the Springs for some starts to work on some stuff because it has not worked this year.  I know, the Rockies decide not to hit when he’s pitching, but still.  0-6 is unacceptable and he no longer deserves a spot in the rotation.  It’s time for Morales to really show us what he’s got.  What can we lose at this point?  Franklin at least has a win under his belt this season.  That’s my thoughts on the pitching.  As for the hitting, hey Tulo, stop thinking so much and just play the damn game.  I really think the World Series loss is still in their heads and it needs to get out.  We need to make some sort of run to make this season somewhat productive.  I think they are very talented and Clint Hurdle was a very big distraction in the clubhouse.  He’s gone, play ball.

One more thought, remember how horrible we thought the Matt Holliday trade was?  Have you noticed what he has done so far this season in lonely Oakland?  Let me refresh you.

Matt Holliday - .270 Avg. 6HR, 28 RBI’s, .366 OBP

Well Matty, these types of numbers won’t get you that huge contract you and your boy Scott Boras are looking for.  Come on back to Colorado, where you actually hit the ball, take less, and drop the ZERO (Scott Boras), and get with the HERO (Any other agent in the freaking world).  Us Rockies fan will welcome you back.
