We Want (real) All-Stars!
by Ted - posted Sunday, July 4th, 2010

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
If you retain any skepticism that media East Coast bias has a stranglehold on baseball, take a look at how undeserving Atlanta Braves nudged worthy Colorado Rockies off the National League All-Star roster.
Regular all-star Brian McCann was selected over Rockies catcher/hero Miguel Olivo, despite Olivo producing better numbers in just about every category. While you were reading that sentence, someone else just stole a base on McCann. To borrow a phrase from John McEnroe: you McCannot be serious!
In the outfield, the fans embarrassed themselves by electing Jason Heyward as a starter for the NL squad. Meanwhile, Carlos Gonzalez has thus far been passed over as a starter or reserve in the outfield. Ridiculous.
Fortunately, baseball fans everywhere have a chance to partially redeem themselves by voting Carlos into the final spot on the roster. It may surprise you that we at Rockiescast encourage everyone to vote early and often for CarGo. So please Mohawk the vote here, and help baseball fans make the 2010 All-Star vote a little less humiliating.
Oh, and congratulations to Ubaldo Jimenez and Troy Tulowitzki for their well-earned All-Star selections.

Business in Front, a Good Cause in Back
by Ted - posted Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

In episode 143, we mentioned that Troy Tulowitzki is growing out his mullet this season for charity and that now fans can get in on the action by purchasing their very own Rockies mullet cap. In typical Rockiescast fashion though, we didn’t bother to research the details of this effort. Thankfully, Meredith (and the Rockies website) came through with the details. For $25, you can support the cause and reserve a mullet hat of your own. Details and the donation form are available on the Rockies’ website at a fantastically named url: http://www.coloradorockies.com/mullet.
Reserve one today, and tell tasteful hairstyles: “You’re @#*%ing out!”

Welcome Back…
by Scott - posted Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

… to the organization, Kaz Matsui. Kaz agreed to a minor-league deal with the club.
… to the majors, Chris Iannetta. Chris has rediscovered his stroke, hitting .349 with 5 homers since being sent down to the Springs.
… Tulo’s power stroke - four homers in the last 5 games.
… to pitching baseballs, Huston Street. Huston threw a 20-pitch bullpen session, his first pitches since tweaking his groin in a rehab start for Tulsa.
… to the Rockies +.500 record.
… clueless local columnists making nonsensical arguments for why Todd Helton is washed up. More on (or perhaps moron) this during the next cast.
… Rockiescast references to Welcome Back, Kotter - the greatest show in the history of television.

Purple Rocktober!
by Scott - posted Thursday, October 1st, 2009
Aaron Cook is on the mound lookin’ like the Cook of old
And Tulo’s got a bat you’d think was made of solid gold
Todd Helton’s got the goat again and he’s swingin’ like he means it
And EY’s running first to home so fast you barely see it
Yorvit has become Mr. Clutch, CarGonza’s bat goes “THUD!”
DLR is downright nasty and Ubaldo is a stud
It’s been a long, long season and the Rockies have fought hard
And now for all their effort they have clinched (at least) the Wild Card
Barmes with a crazy catch he maybe never made
Iannetta’s walk-off homer brought us a cheap taco day
Ian Stewart avoiding double plays, looking like an acrobat
Huston Street back to close games, how freakin’ sweet is that?
Now that we’ve clinched the Wild Card the journey doesn’t end
The Rockies still have one more important message left to send
The Wild Card is fine and good, but you know what would be best?
To bust out the brooms, sweep the boys in blue, and watch the Rockies take the west!

Tulo
by Scott - posted Sunday, August 2nd, 2009
Watch him shine, swing so fine, ropin’ them baseballs down the line
Tulo, Tulo, Tulo, Tulo, Tulo, Tulo
Hit the baseball, to the wall
Smack the cover off that ball
Six feet, three inches tall
To all Troy’s fans, cheap tacos (with beverage!) To all his fans cheap eats
To all Troy’s fans, cheap tacos (with beverage!) To all his fans cheap eats
Tulo’s game, so fresh so clean
With a cannon for an arm, like a laser beam
In the field his glove is fine
I could watch him play about 1,000,000 times
And at the plate his bat will shine
Hit him a grounder and he’ll gun you down
Opposing pitchers got to sweat him now
Don’t forget his unassisted triple play now
He’s crushing home runs and his bat is workin’
And he’s driving all opposing pitchers berserk and
Taking off running, stealing bases
He got some speed, don’t disrespect it
Got pop in his bat for sure
Twenty homeruns and you know there’s more
Got Brad and Todd and the boys with him
And we all like to see them Rockies win
Watch him shine, swing so fine, ropin’ them baseballs down the line
Tulo, Tulo, Tulo, Tulo, Tulo, Tulo
Hit the baseball, to the wall
Smack the cover off that ball
Six feet, three inches tall
To all Troy’s fans, cheap tacos (with beverage!) To all his fans cheap eats

Can’t Stop Loving Tulo
by Scott - posted Sunday, July 12th, 2009
Alan Embree’s
Leg is broken
His season could be done
And I’d say it was a painful sight
I sure hope he’s going to be alright
Split the series
Got cheap tacos
A Mancrush for Brad
Could use some more wins for Ubaldo
But sometimes that’s the way it goes
Even for the best
And I can’t stop loving Tulo
No, I can’t stop loving Tulo
No, I won’t stop loving Tulo
Why should I?

Up Where We Belong
by Scott - posted Sunday, June 21st, 2009
Who knows what tomorrow brings

In a game, few streaks survive
All I know, is the way I feel
Seems surreal, Todd keeps it alive
The season’s long
There are Dodgers in our way
But now it seems we win every day
Todd lift us up where we belong
Made the Pirates cry
On a mountain high
Todd lift us up where we belong
With Bradley and Tulo
Lets take down the Halos

Seven Striggidy Straight
by Scott - posted Thursday, June 11th, 2009

During the week-long streak:
50 runs scored, 16 runs allowed
Barmesssss! - 14 for 30 (.467), 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 10 RBI
Ian “Disco” Stewart - 11 for 32 (.344), 3 doubles, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 1 SB (we’ll forgive the 8 strikeouts to 1 walk)
Tulo - since returning from injury - 5 games played - 6 for 17 (.353), 1 double, 2 HR, 1 SB
Pitching - Awesome. I don’t have time to look up the individual stats, but 16 runs allowed in 7 games, 6 of those games against teams with the 5th (MIL) and 6th (STL) highest run outputs in the NL this season.
Jim Tracy - 9 and 4 as Rockies skipper.
Life - Good.
