The author, like many national writers

is still under the impression that Jeff Francis is coming back to lead the pitching staff.

Attention Whore.

And that Jason Hammel

Is a “serviceable 5th starter” even though stats show he should have won BOTH Cy Young awards last season.

I also like the quaint “Rock-tober” – reminds me of people who write “to-day” or thank-you".

ROFL both Cy Youngs???

I think we need to take you away from the statistical equations now biondino!
Lincecum and Halliday deserve their awards.

Making facetious trade rumors since 2012AD

I have this minor suspicion

that biondino may be being facetious. Just a small one.

I can haz NL West title in 2010? And for that matter, the damn 2010 season to START?

Starting pitching, always the most dicey aspect of the Rockies, will determine whether the team fades to the pack ala 2008 or qualifies for the playoffs for the third time in four years, turning the fairytales into a blueprint for mid-revenue excellence.

How many times do we have to hear this before people realize that the Rockies actually have really good pitching?

About the time they stop qualifying our hitters' numbers with

“Well they do play at COORS”

Bronco utter fail: COMPLETE. When does the Rockies season start? Not.soon.enough.

Translation: never

Not even after Coors Field is demolished and a new stadium is built 5000 feet below the earth’s surface in 2100

Crab people

Taste like crab, talk like people.

3 out of 4 sounds so much better than 2 out of 3...

I'm also curious why Renck has reported multiple times that the Rockies offered Yorvit 2/$6m

but NO other source has the offer that high.

I think it's safe to say that Yorvit made the wrong decision whether it was that high or not.
