MLB Game Picks - Sunday: May 19, 2013
Four games yesterday hung in the balance until the last inning. All four went the wrong way. The Nationals wasted another Jordan Zimmermann beauty and could not score more than one run and lost in extras. A.J. Burnett left with a 2-1 lead after seven. Mark Melancon allowed Houston to tie the game in the eighth and the Astros won in extras. Those freakin' Cardinals tied the...
If Colorado Rockies want to salvage the season, changes need to start now
Juan Nicasio needs some Triple-A seasoning.It's time.The Colorado Rockies must start making moves to salvage a season that started with so much promise. It may seem early to declare a team in need of wholesale changes when they were expected to finish in the basement of the National League West. The problem is, they have the talent to compete, and they must not swing and miss...

Are the Colorado Rockies beginning their annual downward spiral?
Dante Bichette is feeling the heat for the first time.Welcome back to the fickle world of professional sports, Dante Bichette.One month ago, Bichette was a hero in Colorado once again. He had returned to the Rockies clubhouse, taking over as the hitting coach for a team with a ton of talent, but a group of guys who had been terribly undisciplined a year ago and couldn't find...

Fan uses his hat to make nifty grab of Vernon Wells’ home run ball (video)
Hey, if you don’t bring a glove, what are you supposed to do? Use your hands? Not bloody likely, at least as far as this fan is concerned who made a pretty nifty grab of a home run ball during the New York Yankees-Colorado Rockies game on Wednesday night at Coors Field.
With one on in the top of 1st inning, Yankees outfielder Vernon Wells uncorked on a Juan Nicasio offering, depositing...

The Rockies are starting right-hander Juan...

MLB Game Picks - Wednesday: May 8, 2013
The day started so well, but like the Atlanta Braves, could not finish well. Too soon? Probably. But anyway, the pick started the evening yesterday at 6-1 with only the Twins messing up the party as Scott Diamond shut down the Red Sox. The big inning for the Twins started on two straight errors by third base replacement, Pedro Ciriaco. Ouch. But the rest of the day limped in at...

MLB Game Picks - Wednesday: May 1, 2013
Happy May Day! The month of April is in the books and it was a good month here. And it also ended well with a 10-5 day. The month ended up with a 58% success rate, which is slightly above normal around here. That may sound rather ordinary. But try it some time to see how difficult this can be.
I was surprised by the Blue Jays' win over Boston as a combination of good hitting...
MLB Game Picks - Friday: April 26, 2013
If I could keep score of the picks this week, I would say that the good days outnumbered the bad days, 3-2. That sounds good, right? But the two bad days were so bad that the week will never catch up with just two days to go despite those three decent days going 23-13. The good news is that today is always a new day.
Perhaps the Angels can say that after getting blanked by Seattle...
D-backs head home, seek revenge on Rockies
The Diamondbacks dropped two of three games in Colorado last weekend but return to Chase Field looking for a little revenge in a four-game series with the Rockies.
The Rockies have been one of the early season surprises in baseball, starting out 14-7 to lead the NL West. That start might not last, but it's nonetheless impressive with first-year manager Walt Weiss at the helm...
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4
Days after making a smashing debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Didi Gregorius had quite an encore.
Gregorius hit his second major league home run and singled to start a two-run rally in the ninth inning that led Arizona over Colorado 5-4 Sunday and stopped the Rockies' eight-game winning streak.
Gregorius, who homered Thursday at Yankee Stadium on the first pitch he saw...
MLB Game Picks - Sunday: April 21, 2013
This was a tough week for the old game picker. But considering that the country had a real tough week, how can I complain? Yesterday was no different than the rest of the week as the picks struggled to a 9-7 day. I was zero for the Dodgers. The Astros pick made me look foolish. The Twins had a nice pitching day to out-pitch Jake Peavy and company. The Yankees won on an error in...
McCarthy, D-backs try to cool red-hot Rockies
The Rockies' Juan Nicasio and the Diamondbacks' Brandon McCarthy have lofty ERAs this season, but the two have experienced differing results.
Nicasio will try to stay unbeaten while leading the surging Rockies to a ninth straight win Sunday against the Diamondbacks and the winless McCarthy.
Nicasio (2-0, 5.63 ERA) is one of the pitchers to benefit from Colorado's longest...

Double Header Game Preview: Mets @ Rockies
The Mets were postponed again yesterday due to snow and that is going to force a Colorado Day/Night Double Header. This article is being written at 8 PM Monday Night, so there is a possibility that these pitching match-ups may be off. At this time it looks like Dillon Gee will take on Juan Nicasio. The second game is murkier. Mets.com is reporting that Laffey will get the start vs...
MLB Game Picks - Tuesday: Aprl 16, 2013
About an hour after the Red Sox finished their walk-off win against the Rays, I kind of lost interest in baseball for the rest of the day. The horrible events that took place in that same city sucked the wind out of me and made me sad and reflective the rest of the day. The television stayed off. The computer was ignored. Baseball simply did not seem that important.
But life goes...
Game Preview: Mets @ Rockies
(Warning: This post was written at 5:30 AM, there is a possibility of inclement weather postponing this game tonight)
The Mets are fresh off a two game sweep of the Twins thanks to Mother Nature cancelling the series finale yesterday. If you thought it was unusual for the Mets to playing in snow and frigid temperatures, you’re right. Snow is highly unusual. That being said, snow...
MLB Game Picks - Monday: April 15, 2013
Happy Jackie Robinson Day and Patriots Day to all of you in Massachusetts and Maine. Nine games are taking place today, so Jackie Robinson Day might not have as big an effect as it would otherwise.
When is finishing at 7-7 a good day? When the day starts out 1-5. The Braves really wiped me out over the weekend along with the Nationals. I never thought they would completely whip...
