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.

All quiet on Hurdle front - The Denver Post

All quiet on Hurdle front - The Denver Post

Sigh.

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.

Don't that this is big news, but my fellow Rowbots might like to know.

Not sure what impact this will have, but being in the NL West, thought others might be interested.

While the rest of the Denver sports world is in a tizzy over the Shanahan firing, this is an interesting move. Whaddaya think, Rox fans?

Looks like the 3 game collapse was the proverbial straw.

ALCS Game 7

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!

I had really hoped for a new pitching coach next year as well, but clearly Hurdle and Apodaca are somehow conjoined.
