Postseason would delay big Rockies decisions

The Colorado Rockies have two weeks until the end of the regular season, and for just the third time in their history they look like they'll play beyond the final Sunday. The postseason would extend the Rockies career of a few players by a few weeks and delay a number tough decisions facing the team.

Rockies find right lineup, need to stick with it

You wouldn't know it from Monday's 9-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants, but the Colorado Rockies had the right lineup on the field. In the past month as the Rockies' offense has sputtered, new manager Jim Tracy has fallen into a similar trap that old manager Clint Hurdle fell into time after time: constantly tweaking the lineup trying to find the right mix of players at the right time. He's found it, now, and should stick with it.

A weekend worth forgetting for the Rockies

When the Colorado Rockies next take the field, it will be September and the team that was swept in three games over the weekend to the San Francisco Giants will have changed.

Colorado Rockies offense now flying solo

The Rockies were handed this game -- the Nationals walked 10 batters and hit another -- and scoffed at it, instead relying on solo home runs to eke out a one-run win. The Rockies should have won this game 15-4, not 5-4.

Rockies remember how to hit over the weekend

The question now is this: Is Carlos Gonzalez going to be one of those streaky hitters who go through periods of hitting everything and periods of hitting nothing? Or is Gonzalez just now realizing the potential that made the Diamondbacks and Athletics drool until they gave up on him?

Rockies’ Atkins finally wakes up

Most of the team contributed to the Rockies' 8-3 win, the first time in some time that the Rockies have dominated an opponent rather than just won a game. But despite the help from his friends, it was Atkins who won this game.
