New Year's Rockpile: TGI2012!

Happy Not 2011!

No more Lopezes, spiting my predictions,

No more of Stewart's hitting afflictions,

No more Spill the Beans,

No more Street closings.

No more Ubaldo, which makes me sad,

but more Pomeranz, which is kind of rad.

No more pitchers ringing up the score,

But no more CDI, ringing up the WAR.

No more Tracy?

No... more Tracy.

Sigh.

No more Seth not hitting southpaws,

But perhaps Casey Blake, with an out-clause.

More Tulo, more Cargo, more Arenado,

Less Punto, less Cardinals, more Colorado

No more Wiggy, no more chokes,

No more "versatility", that's all folks.

I agree. No more of the players that don’t improve the team.

That being said, why did you guys waste all the time with the “2011 player review” for all the players that were no longer on the team. For the most part, they were nothing more than cast-offs anyway, so who cares what they did. They sucked, and they got what they deserved…

Off season is long ...

And coming up with Rockpile ideas can’t be easy day after day after day ….

It can't

be all that easy during the season either. They do a great job here.

we aren't done with player reviews, just because it is 2012

and even players who sucked have interesting storylines.

my home internet connection is schizo

mkorpal understands. it lost connection several times, and apparently, each time I refreshed, it published for some reason.

Yes I do

probably the worst connection on the planet. The internet works better in remote North Korean villages.

Dear Rockies,

That orange and blue team in this town has won a division title in 2012.

Please do the same.

id take the rockies backing into a division title

I don’t really care how it happens. I’d take a championship in any way.

Yeah, me either.

Backing into a division title still means you beat out the rest of your division.

by holly96 on Jan 1, 2012 8:45 PM MST up reply actions  

or they just beat themselves.

Self taught and falling in love with this game is very easy to do, you can never hate it, and that is something that not one person can take away from anybody. The love of baseball and OUR COLORADO ROCKIES. 2011-we shall never see you again. 2012-World Series Champions.

I doubt 81-81 wins the NL West...
