My Writing on Bleacher Report

I am writing my thoughts on baseball and the Rockies on Bleacher Report and just thought I'd leave the link here and see if you guys wanna check it out.

If you can't get to a TV to watch it or if you don't have MLB Network then you can go to HERE in order to watch the video.

First I would like to say if there are any errors it's because I am dead tired.

Ok, I was going over the survey to renew my Rockies magazine subscription and was looking at one of the questions and it said:

"What national resources do you go to for information about the Colorado Rockies? (Check all that apply)", and one of the choiches was none other than PURPLEROW.COM!!

I just wanted to say congrats to everyone who made this site and everyone who partakes in order to making this a nationally, and Colorado Rockies, recognizied quality ROX site.

GO ROCKIES!

Three-Way Deal with Yankees?

rockiesfan4ever — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 13:23:42 -0000

On MLBTR they have a rumor (It's just a rumor) about a three-way deal involving the Yankees, Mariners, and us. The deal would send outfielder Hideki Matsui from the New York Yankees to the Seattle Mariners for a pitching prospect, perhaps Ryan Rowland-Smith. The Yankees would package the prospect with second baseman Robinson Cano and another young player to the Rockies for Matt Holliday. So we would be getting a prospect from the Mariners, Cano, and a prospect from the Yankees.

My Rocktober Story

rockiesfan4ever — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:56:21 -0000

From an outsider who doesn't live in Colorado (Or anywhere close to Colorado). I may not remember a lot about that though :(

Before The Streak I was wearing my Rockies shirt to bed every night and when we started winning I didn't stop. Let's just say after a month of not washing it and a bunch of ice cream stains on it it was pretty bad.

On the Tie-Breaker game I learned that my team had a make-up baseball game (This was for the game that was rained out the day before when we clinched to go to the tiebreaker). I was sooo upset, but about 2 hours before the game started my coach called and said we had to forfeit because we didn't have enough players (The baseball gods loved me that week LOL).

I was excited for the Tie-Breaker game, but don't remember a lot, but anxiety and a bad feeling in my stomach. The pit of my fear capped when Holliday mis-played the ball in Left. Luckily we had the last AB so I wasn't as nervous and I would've been had it been in San Diego. I stayed up the whole night until Julio gave up the HR (At like 1:30 AM CT on a school night). I went to sleep (Literally I fell asleep, almost crying think how close we were) after that HR and was woken up by my dad right before Holliday hit his triple.

When I saw Holliday hit his triple I thought, "We are going to win". When Carroll came up and hit the shallow-fly to right I was thinking "Go go, wait no no". When he was called safe I was ESTATIC!!! I was pretty sure the neighbors heard me at like 2:15 in the morning screaming.

I went to bed at like 3 after the high and I really didn't get good sleep after that. The next day I wore my Bichette jersey (Yes, I own a Bichette jersey) to school and was on a high.

Much after that I don't remember, but I remember staying up for every game and then the let down of the World Series.

Rockies Trade Juan Castro

rockiesfan4ever — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:32:26 -0000

We traded Minor-League Shortstop Juan Castro to the Orioles last night for Mike McCoy. Castro was .300 in 18 games with Colorado Springs. McCoy was batting .277 in 52 games with AAA and has played 2B, 3B, SS, OF, and P during his time in the minors. Don't know really what to think of this trade as it seems we are just swapping decent prospects?

Live the Dream

rockiesfan4ever — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:21:05 -0000

Ok, I have been a life long Rockies fan, and I wasn't allowed to enter the Live the Dream Promotion because of my age. I am currently 14, about to turn 15 and you have to be 18 years or older to enter. Not trying to dump on anyone or raise myself above them, but I know more about the Rockies then some older Rockies fans.

That just doesn't seem right and I was just seeing if you guys agreed with me or if it was me being short-sighted

Song that Represents the past 2 years

rockiesfan4ever — Fri, 23 May 2008 21:13:53 -0000

http://free.napster.com/player/?play_id=16718205&type=track

This is a song by Hoobastank called "Look Where We Are Now"

I believe this REALLY represents the Rockies situation last year and this year.

Lyrics: http://www.versuri.ro/versuri/mgifg_hoobastank+look+where+we+are.html

It starts out in what would be last year saying "I remember when this was a dream, but we worked and now we are here".

Then it goes to this year saying "We still have a long way, but we got better since last year"
