Todd Helton went 2-4 with two three-run homeruns for his 2,498th and 2,499th career hits, but couldn't pull off a three-homerun night despite a two-on chance in the ninth. The Rockies beat up on the Reds in this first game of three, 9-6. Photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

July 25, 2013 - Marlins at Rockies

Two games were wrapped into one in this Thursday afternoon matchup, around a 90 minute rain delay. The first 6 1/2 innings featured dominant pitching on both sides and no scoring. The second half featured a run on a wild pitch, and four subsequent runs on the Rockies shaky relievers. Very few pictures were made in the first 6 1/2, and lots presented themselves at the end. Unfortunately for the crowd, the visiting team had the better time after the rain delay, and the Marlins beat the Rockies 5-3. Photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

May 5, 2013 - Rays at Rockies

 

According to a new acquaintance, Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Joe Maddon likes to tell reporters that he doesn't mind "meat loafing" teams, or, is pretty happy winning 2 out of 3 games ("two out of three ain't bad"). Jhoulys Chacin had a rough day on the mound and the Rockies fall on an overcast Sunday afternoon. All photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

August 21, 2011 - Dodgers at Rockies

The light was PERFECT - but I didn't get anything I thought was great. Lots of perfectly fine "stock" images of the players doing what they do. Here's a couple.

Jason Giambi sends the 3rd pitch he sees well clear of the right field wall.



And since it's the bottom of the 9th inning, he gets a warm reception at home plate.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (2) slides ahead of a tag attempt by Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski (12) to win the game in the 13th inning during a regular season interleage game between the Chicago White Sox and the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies beat the White Sox 3-2 in 13 innings.

Fun game. I like extra innings and walk off hits.

August 24, 2010 - Braves at Rockies

The "Rookie Bullpen Guy" for most teams gets to sport a Hello Kitty or Dora or Hannah Montana backpack as they head out to the bullpen before the first pitch. Always pretty funny to see.

Jason Heyward has a pretty weird swing, actually. Whatever works.


Troy Tulowitzki made an aweful baserunning error, and it probably didn't help when Jason Heyward ran by him and offered a little pat on the back.
