Background - Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies came into the league in 1993 with the promise of a high octane offense because of the thin air at Coors Field. Shortly after the inaugural season the predictions came true.
1995 found a roster with the offensive talents of Andres Galarraga, Dante Bichette, Larry Walker, and Vinnie Castilla. The "Blake Street Bombs" as they were known made for exciting baseball in the beginning of the home run era and brought in the league's best attendance. Over 3 million fans came to see the Rockies play that year. The club was good enough to take a wild card berth in the National League West, but was unable to capitalize on its big power as it lost to the Braves in the NLDS.
The club added strong bats to the roster with Ellis Burks and Todd Helton, who would have to wait behind Galarraga, but could not continue the success of the 1995 season. The Rockies could not overcome the pitching woes that came with the thin air, but the Rockies kept on trying. They brought in big-name free agent pitchers like Bill Swift, Bret Saberhagen, Darryl Kile, Denny Neagle, and Mike Hampton. All failed to survive the physical punishment and statistical punishment the thin air brought.
The Rockies started over in 2005, letting most of its established veterans go or trading them away. The result was Generation R, a roster full of players under 30. Jason Jennings, Aaron Cook, and Jeff Francis turned the pitching around, as the team boasted an aggregate total 4.66 ERA in 2006.
The following year, 2007, the Rockies were able to ride the improved pitching for a wild card berth. The team was baseball's hottest team coming into the playoffs and rode that wave to the World Series. The Rockies were 21-1 in games after September 15, but could not complete the season with a title, as they were swept by the Boston Red Sox.

2008 Season Preview
|
The defending NL Champion Rockies return much of the roster from 2007. The club's rotation is spearheaded by ace Jeff Francis. The rotation is backed up by Aaron Cook, Ubaldo Jimenez, Franklin Morales, and Mark Redmond. Manny Corpas and Brian Fuentes will act a as closers until one outshines the other. Luis Vizcaino is solid set up man as evident by his 77 appearances and his 2.77 ERA on the road.
The offense loks ready to produce again with Matt Holiday in left, Willy Tavares in center, and Brad Hawpe in right. Veteran first baseman Todd Helton is no longer the most powerful player on the infield. Third baseman Garrett Atkins and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki pack quite a punch.
Coors Field is sure to see some great games in the difficult NL West schedule ahead. The Rockies figure to carry on with last season's success, so see the pennant race live with Colorado Rockies tickets from www.OnlineSeats.com.
