2010 MLB season preview: Colorado Rockies

In odd numbered years the Rockies seem to make a habit of making a push towards the playoffs. They won 14 of their last 15 games to reach the 2007 post season, and 72 of their final110 to reach the wild card in 2010. They will return almost their entire roster in 2010, and will get a full year of Manager Jim Tracy, maybe it is that time for Rockies to make a strong post season push in an even numbered year.

2009 MLB season in review: Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies had a very interesting season. They started without Matt Holiday, a key component of their 2007 World Series run, and not knowing who was going to take his place on the team. Through the opening part of the season they were so bad that after an 18-28 start the front office fired manager Clint Hurdle, and replaced him with Jim Tracy. Tracy was able to motivate his team so well that they went on a second half tear and ended up as the winners of the National League Wild card. After losing in the first round of the playoffs, the world of baseball was so impressed with the job that Jim Tracy did that he was named N.L. Manager of the Year.
