The 2009 Season Begins Today for the Colorado Rockies

by Russ Oates on Sep 29, 2008 7:53 AM MDT in Rockpile

The 2009 season will start today for the Rockies with a face-to-face meeting between Dan O'Dowd and Clint Hurdle. We have the entire offseason to discuss what should be or should have been done for the Rockies to get back on track (like maybe trading Torrealba?). Today, I just want to thank everyone who's stopped by and visited Purple Row throughout the season. We've broken almost all of our previous statisitical records for visits each month. The only exceptions being this September and the coming October. We had 50,799 visitors during the October run and it will be hard to match that again. With the way the September has gone, it's easy to understand why we won't crack 20,000 visitors. But during the season we went over 500,000 visitors and 2,000,000 page views.

So, keep on coming back before the 2009 season starts. We're reliving Rocktober, following the 2008 postseason, examining the players in-depth, and looking at what should be done in the coming weeks and months. Before we know it, baseball will be back.

When are we doing another PURPS poll? I think I missed the last one.

I think people are getting the lawsuits ready as we speak...

I so need to get fired.

Lawsuits? Ouch.

Approximately one year from today, though, I should be one of those filing the lawsuits. And I thought people hated me now.

Victory is mine….in the PR fantasy game. Thanks to everyone who played. Also thanks to CC Sabbathia for being awesome and throwing on 3 days rest since about Sep 1.

Renck article

Does anyone have any background on the Renck article from this weekend regarding Holliday’s frustration over his back spasms affecting his contract negotiations? Was that based on a comment from the FO or was that a speculative comment posed by a reporter to which Holliday was responding? If it was a comment from the FO, it would seem to be way out of line and a classless attempt at posturing.
If it was just some reporter, then it was a dumb question/comment to pose to Holliday and possibly dumber for Holliday to acknowledge it.
