Huston Street isn't the only Rockie who should be feeling bad
Colorado closer Huston Street(notes) might be trying to shoulder the blame for Monday's season-ending loss to the Phillies, but in a baseball rarity, the rest of the world isn't placing him solely in the crosshairs.No, the honor of that spot would also belong to Rockies manager Jim Tracy, who is taking plenty of heat for keeping the righthanded Street around to face the sinistrophobic...
Managerial Mistakes
The situation: Huston Street on to close. Ryan Howard at the plate. Runners on 1st and 2nd, two outs. The question: why is Street in the game? Ryan Howard this year hit .279/.360/.571. Vs lefties however, he hit .207/.298/.356. Joe Beimel is very good against lefties, but more importantly he throws with his left hand. [...]

All lost, the one thing Rockies relief pitcher Huston Street refused to do was cry. His voice cracked. Anguish moistened the corners of his eyes. But tears? No way.
A Few Random Thoughts on Last Nights Crazy Game
Why in the hell were the Rockies outfielders playing shallow when Howard was at bat? People are going to point the finger at Huston Street, but the Rockies outfielders dropped the ball on that one. The only way you can get burned in that situation is by a double. So why not guard the warning [...]
Touch ‘Em All: NLCS is Set, Lidge > Street
Phillies 5 – Rockies 4: Huston Street is officially the goat of this series. We figured it would be Brad Lidge. At this point, if Lidge got all his blown saves out of him in the regular season, we’d keep throwing him out there until he blows one. We picked the Rockies for that reason. [...]
Mr. Rocktober Was Almost a Met
Yorvit Torrealba would have been the story today if Huston Street didn’t do his best Brad Lidge impression. According to Jayson Stark that double made Torrealba 20 for his last 33 with runners in scoring position the last two months.
