The Rockhead is middle-aged, living in Lakewood, CO. I became a life-long Rockie fan on April 26, 1995 when Bichette went yard in the 14th to win the Coors opener.

Just a reminder that the 14th is the last day to register for NLDS tickets. You can register for all postseason opps at the same time. You know we're gonna be there!
Jimenez remains modest in light of huge success - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
Ubaldomania remains in full swing. Given the coverage our ace has gotten this year, I personally will refrain from any calls of East (or West) coast bias in the media for at least a month. We're witnessing history, Rowbots. Enjoy!

Still more love for our Ace. I'm still finding it hard to believe that the best pitcher in baseball is a Rockie! Wow.

Following the discussion on pitch counts, pitcher abuse, etc., you might like this piece. I'm not normally a Lemire fan, but this is interesting anyway.

Found this while site hopping. Thought my fellow Rowbots might enjoy as well.

Tom Verducci says Hawpe should be an-All Star
And a starting one at that. Marquis the Magnificent doesn't make the list though, but there is one Rockie in the "Notable Omissions" link at the end.
So what do you think?

Alrighty then. With April behind us, I'm wondering what my fellow Rowbots are thinking.
Our Rockies are 8-12. They've played poorly, they've played pretty well on a couple of occasions. They have been inconsistent to say the very least, yet they have shown sparks of what we all hoped they would be. The starting pitching has been...well, you know. The early schedule has been brutal. The lusty month of May doesn't look quite as bad to these eyes, but with only 9 nine home games in June, the march to the All-Star break looks pretty rough.
So here' my question, Rowbots: How do you feel our Rox right now? Are we playing for next year? Can we still be a factor in the NLW this year? I have my own opinions, but won't share them just yet. I'd just like to get a feel for how everyone else is feeling right now.
And, as always, it's a real privilege sharing a little corner of cyberspace with all of you. Have at it.

Hey, guess what? SI doesn't much like our chances in 09. Thought you Rowbots might want to take a peek, anyway.

Just thought I'd put up a thread in the event that anyone wants to follow the game.
I'm hoping that the Rays can loosen their collars a bit and hang on to win this last one. I really don't want to see the Sox in yet another WS.
I'll just add some meaningless words to make this long enough to qualify as a Fan Post. I miss Rockies baseball, I miss Rocktober, I miss all the chatter on the Row. Here's to 2009!
Rox: Hurdle rids three coaches - The Denver Post
I had really hoped for a new pitching coach next year as well, but clearly Hurdle and Apodaca are somehow conjoined.

I guess this isn't much of a surprise given how Cookie's pitched his last few outings. Still...sigh.
