With Ubaldo up next I would swing for the fences here

If the 2007 Rockies can win 21 out of 22 to reach the World Series and the 2009 Rockies can come from 12 games under .500 in June to make the playoffs, why can't the 2010 Rockies make the postseason after being 51-50?

Tonight was the only game we had the advantage in the pitching matchup and the Mets are really tough at home

If the 2007 Rockies can win 21 out of 22 to reach the World Series and the 2009 Rockies can come from 12 games under .500 in June to make the playoffs, why can't the 2010 Rockies make the postseason after being 51-50?

Mike Newman: Well, you stole my thunder with Cleary. Eliezer Mesa has a chance to be something….maybe a 4th OF type. Nina is very smooth at times, but has his flaws. The prospects on that team really fall off of a cliff after the players you mentioned.

Mike Newman: I only saw Wheeler for one innings, but it was instant man love. Behind Teheran, he’s the second best pitching prospect I’ve laid eyes on. His ceiling is off the charts and he’s a much easier prospect to imagine as a true ace than Matzek.

This is the sorty of "looking inward" effect of baseball fandom.

Fans tend to compliment their own team when they perform instead of blame it on failure of their opponent, and tend to blame their own team when they don’t perform instead of compliment their opponent. It’s difficult (impossible) to quantify.

by Andrew Martin on Aug 10, 2010 8:10 PM MDT up reply actions  

I think the Rockies CAN go to the postseason

I just don’t think they will. They’ve already missed out on way too many opportunities this season. They’ve only had 2 guys hit consistently and 1 starter pitch well consistently, that’s not enough to get to the playoffs.

Someone needs to step up, grab the bull by the horns and stake a claim to the everyday RF job, because the revolving door situation right now isn’t working. There also needs to be more production from 1B than we’ve seen thus far.

We also need two of the trio of Hammel, de la Rosa and Francis to start giving quality efforts every fifth day, because with each of them it seems to be consistently two steps forward and one step back.

I know Tulo said something similar back in May or so, but the Rockies certainly have the talent to make the postseason, but so far haven’t executed well enough to do so.
