How Fireworks Light Up the Sky Fireworks are like the ultimate party flex—little bombs that blast colors and patterns into the night. Here’s the deal, broken down Lensworth-style: The Setup: Each firework’s an aerial shell, like a cosmic taco stuffed with goodies, wrapped in paper or plastic. Inside, you got: Burst Charge: The big boom, […]

Coors Field Hosts 4th of July Baseball and Fireworks! Good morning, Denver! Last night at Coors Field was a slice of pure Americana—baseball, fireworks, and a crowd buzzing with joy. Even with the Rockies dropping a close one to the White Sox, 3-2, the energy was electric, and the memories? Unforgettable. A Baseball Game That […]

The Colorado Rockies introduced a new menu item at Coors Field last Sunday. It’s called the Sacrificial Lamb. Bud Black, the Rockies all-team leader in managerial wins, was let go on Sunday following the team’s historically bad start to the 2025 baseball season. Despite a rare victory in Black’s final game, Colorado’s 7-34 record is […]

It’s Tax Day, and I’m not claiming a lot of itemized deductions, but I’m writing off the Colorado Rockies. Apparently, Charlie Monfort’s accountant told him to offset any capital gains with some losses, and the Rockies (3-13) are doing their best to comply. As usual, Monfort just shows that rich people don’t pay taxes. No […]

With the baseball season upon us, I must admit that I struggled to find the positives when it came to writing about the Colorado Rockies. The team had gotten off to another slow start, the pitchers were getting shelled, and Kris Bryant was again, a virtual no-show. So, I cheated. I sat down at my […]

The baseball season is ridiculously long. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in early February. Opening Day is at the end of March, and with 162 games to be played, the regular season lasts all the way to the end of September. And now that Major League Baseball has expanded their Playoffs to include […]

When the San Diego Padres signed Manny Machado to a 10-year/$300 million contract last week, Joel Wolfe, the agent of Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado, must have been smiling.  The contract was the most lucrative in major league baseball history as the Padres set the price it takes to secure a young, talented, gold-gloved […]

Former baseball great Don Baylor passed away on August 7, 2017 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Baylor was best known to Rockies fans as the first manager in the franchise’s history as he led Colorado to the playoffs in 1995, and was named the NL Manager of the Year. As a teenager I was […]

The story is familiar. The powerful, young, first baseman reaches the major leagues by swinging for the fences on every pitch. The big league team sacrifices a high strikeout rate and low batting average for long term potential, and tape measure home runs. But Father Time catches up to the powerful first baseman as the […]

Starting at Third Base – I Don’t Know It was known as the classic Abbott and Costello comedy sketch, confusingly funny as the ballplayers included names like Who at first, What on second, and I Don’t Know at third base. But as the Rockies enter the month of June in second place in the NL […]
