Default ***Official 2007 Colorado Rockies Thread***

Hell, why not, there has to be at least a couple other die hard fans on 2+2 out there.... this season has been hella fun and we are beating the tar out of the division leading Brewers today.

There is a lot to be excited about in Denver, as we have a VERY solid lineup with young stars such as Tulowitzki and Atkins who will still continue to get better, Brad Hawpe and Matt Holliday still not quite in their prime, two fantastic speedsters in Taveras and Matsui to lead off, and still a top 10 first baseman in Helton (although he is on the decline).

There isn't really a liability in the rotation right now as Francis/Cook have been really on, and Fogg/Hirsh/Jimenez have been serviceable. Our staff is on pace to set a franchise record in team ERA, and many of them are young and still have many years ahead of them.

We just swept the Brewers, have a huge home stand against the Cubbies this weekend, and if we could win 3-4 of those games we'd be looking good going into the rest of August/September where we play pretty much only in-division games. Our only out of division games the rest of the year are home against Florida, Washington, Pittsburgh and a 4-game trip to Philly.

So the Rockies really hold their destiny in their own hands at this point in time with so many games against the Dodgers, Padres and D-Bags, and it's going to be exciting down the stretch, something that I am definitely not used to as a Rockies fan.

So, here's to your 2007 NL West Champion Rockies... <font color="white"> or at least contenders </font>

Good luck with the division or WC. I'm not a real fan, but I love this version of the team. It's fun to watch.

Atkins is a natural born killer.

I &lt;3 the Rockies. Once I got drunk at a game and tackled Dinger. Good times.

OH SNAP I forgot about that, holla

Three games thus far and we've outscored the Phils 25-8

Looking at the Pads schedule I'd be seriously surprised if we overtook them this month... I'd almost think we'd have a better chance catching the D-Backs. I mean, if we can gain 3-4 games on them before that season finale series we'd still have a shot in theory

It's fun to play meaningful games this late though, that's for sure

Dude... last night was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun

Take that you Dodger bastards

We have lost 5 of 7 over the last two months to the Pirates and Marlins at home. If we just have a winning record (4-3) in those 7 games we are 2.5 out right now.

But oh well. This team should contend for a few years to come IMO.

Or, maybe, who knows, we could sweep the Dodgers and the Padres to win 8 in a row and suddenly find ourselves tied for 1st.
