July 27, 2012 - Reds at Rockies

Behind a strong outing from Bronson Arroyo of weird-windup fame, two runs on wild pitches in the same inning and a three-strikeout performance by Aroldis Chapman to shut the door, the Reds dominated the Rockies 3-0 in the first of a three game set. All images copyright Getty Images.

July 22, 2012 - Full Throttle Mopar NHRA Mile High Nationals

Top fuel dragsters are loud and fast. The track is hot and scary. The mechanics are good and the fans are really into it.

July 14, 2012 - Phillies at Rockies

The Phillies would never led go of a 4-0 lead after the first inning, winning with a final score of 5-2. Utley and Howard returned for this series and made little noise but added to the intimidation. All images copyright Getty Images.

July 1, 2012 - Padres at Rockies

Drew Pomeranz is called up and goes six solid innings giving up one run on two hits and three walks, yet the Rockies lose the rubber match to the San Diego Padres. Rockies hitters put up a goose egg despite nine baserunners on a hot and bright afternoon, against the surprisingly good performance by former Rockie Kip Wells. All photos copyright Getty Images.

June 30, 2012 - Padres at Rockies

Yasmani Grandal, the who was called up the same day, made Major League history on June 30 as he hit homeruns from each side of the plate for the first two hits of his career. Another unlikely homerun hitter, shortstop Alexi Amarista, also had two in the game, as the Padres beat the Rockies 8-4 on a fireworks night. Photos copyright Getty Images.

June 10, 2012 - Angels at Rockies

April 28, 2012 - Mets at Rockies

 

Rockies lose to the Mets in my first game back at Coors for the 2012 season.  Made some decent frames of the home team but was disappointed in my coverage of the visiting team. Definitely glad to be at the park though.
