Back to it...

Well, it has almost been a full month since my last post saying I was expanding. Yes, the expansion is still in progress but at a standstill until I can get the money for hosting and all that fun stuff that goes into starting a website. I figured I might as well put something up since it has been so long. First things first…


Colorado Rockies:
Note to Dan O’dowd; yes that deal you made with Oakland in the Matt Holliday trade was amazing. The trade to acquire Jason Marquis was amazing. The fact you did not do a thing with Garret Atkins is unbelievable. How could you not at least get some prospects for him? Now, he will finish this year coming off the bench and making the occasional start collecting the rest of this 7 million he signed for this season. The Rockies will not re-sign Garret therefore letting him go for absolutely nothing. Will Garret Atkins help us in the stretch run as we fight with the Giants for the Wild Card, no most likely not. He hasn’t really done anything at all this season; I really don’t see any change in that. Ian Stewart is our starting third basemen. Todd Helton’s health is perfectly fine and if the reason to keep Atkins was for that exact purpose, giving Todd a break one every 2 weeks, then that is a one of the worst decisions O’dowd has ever made. Seth Smith can play first base if needed. We can call up a minimum paid triple-a player to play once every 2 weeks. I don’t see the need for Garret Atkins on this team anymore and just wished we could have gotten at least something for him.
After a pathetic showing in New York giving up our 2 game lead in the Wild Card, we find ourselves currently tied with the Giants in the standings. I’ve said before, it’s all about winning series. We won the series against the Giants then laid an egg against the Mets. This can’t happen when you are in what looks to be a season long race for that final playoff spot in the NL. If the Rockies stay focused on winning series and not on the Giants, they will find themselves atop the Wild Card standings when the season is over.


Denver Nuggets:
After trading for the big young backup point guard Ty Lawson. The Nuggets have done nothing to make them self any better for this upcoming season. They have actually lost ground against other teams in the west. The Spurs, Lakers, Mavs have added big named help as the Nuggets have done nothing but resign Birdman and let Dehantay Jones go to Indy. Currently I am not very optimistic about the upcoming season. Chauncey Billups can only do so much but when teams like the Lakers add Ron Artest, I almost just want to give the Lakers next year’s Championship. But we don’t and that’s why we play the season and playoffs because anything can happen. Maybe the Nuggets know they can beat the Lakers, even if they did add big names. Who knows, but as it stands now… The Nuggets are in a bit of trouble in the West.


I will post tomorrow about the Broncos and Avalanche. I just wanted to get some stuff out there since it has been so long since my last relevant post. Enjoy! Comment!
