Depending on your theology, Colorado Rockies fans can
either thank The Magic Humidor for their amazing run
of the last month, or God. You make the call.
The Pirates took Bryan Bullington first overall in
the ‘Moneyball’ draft of 2002. This might have been
the third time I’ve read or heard his name mentioned since his drafting. You know who was taken six picks after him by Milwaukee? Prince Fielder. Two picks after him, Jeff Francis. Hermida, Kazmir, and Swisher, those are just three other names picked after Bullington.
Anytime you can hold the Phillies' powerhouse lineup
to two runs over six innings you have done
your job. Here is a closer look at how he did it.

Columbia Draft: 2002 - 1st round (9th overall) by the Colorado Rockies
Coors Field, known as a hitters haven, is
about to become pitcher friendly. Jeff Francis continues to
develop into a #1 starter followed by Aaron Cook and highly touted youngsters Ubaldo Jimenez, Franklin Morales and Jason Hirsh. Greg Reynolds is almost ready to compete for the chance to make his mark on the NL Champs rotation.
Toronto - A simple groundball to shortstop Sunday
quickly cast Willy Taveras as the star of "The
Fast and the Furious." In Sunday's first at-bat, Taveras bounced a ball toward John McDonald. Taveras raced down the line but was called out. Replays ...
Coors Field is a tough place to play
baseball. It's nice for hitters but it also wears
them down. It's really no fun for pitchers. So how did GM Dan O'Dowd turn the Rockies into a playoff team?
And suddenly, the Rockies winning 21 of 22
is a distant memory. Instead, the memory is of
tonight’s Game 1, a painful, painful game to watch, that saw Josh Beckett mow down the Rockies’ hitters on his way to nine strikeouts and just one ...
For the first time in his career, Chase
Utley, an MVP candidate before having his hand broken,
heard the faintest grumbles of disapproval during the NLDS. He will be redeemed.
Offensively and defensively, Tulowitzki has shoen in his
first full year in the majors that he belonged
and could even be considered the best at his position.

The Rockies took two out of three against
the Red Sox during an interleague series from June
12-14 at Fenway Park. Colorado outscored Boston 20-5, dropping the first game 2-1 before winning the next two, 12-2 and 7-1. The final game of the series ...
Tucson - The knee-jerk reaction to Jeff Francis'
five-game suspension is easy. He shouldn't have thrown at
Kevin Kouzmanoff. It made no sense for the Rockies to retaliate Tuesday when it could cost them a late April win because of Francis' absence. On...
Summary: Jeff Francis struck out a career-best nine
in seven solid innings, and Matt Holliday homered and
drove in three runs to lead the Colorado Rockies past the New York Yankees 6-1 on Wednesday night. Did you see that? Colorado's Todd Helton ...
We don't know about the rest of you,
but as the National League makes its mad scramble
to the finish, with still no playoff spots secured, the team we're developing an emotional attachment to are the Colorado Rockies. Over the next four days, ...
The five day layoff did little to cool
off the Rockies.

ESPN's Jayson Stark put together a collection of
some of the weirdest things to happen in baseball
this year -- and, not surprisingly, the Red Sox made an appearance in a whole handful of those tidbits. • Just for Starters Dept. : We should have known what kind of World Series we were in for when the first inning of Game 1 featured a leadoff homer by a fellow who hadn't hit a leadoff
