• The 10 most memorable Denver sports moments of 2008

  Ten Denver sports moments we'll remember (sometimes against our wishes) from 2008.10. The Birdman flies back into DenverReserve center and reformed party addict Chris "The Birdman" Anderson re-joined the Nuggets this year after a two-year suspension for an unspecified violation (cocaine). He's not the second coming of Shaq -- he's not even the second coming of himself -- but he dunks and blocks a bunch of shots, and sometimes he acts like a bird when he does it, so he makes the list.

• Sports memories, selling cheap

  Broncos fans distraught over the team's disintegration over the past three weeks are likely taking a break from all things sports today and probably tomorrow. But for those of you who can't get enough pain, Opening Day for the 2009 Colorado Rockies is only 98 days away, and the home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies is only 102 days away. Will the team be able to return to 2007 form without Matt Holliday or will they continue their miserable ways into the near future? Hard to know, but

• 2007 Best of Denver Winners

  In 2007, when Westword published its twenty-fourth Best Of Awards, things were looking up for the Rockies: Matt Holliday, our winner for "Best Rocky," was a rising star, and he and the rest of the team's young players were -- who knew? -- just months away from an improbable World Series run. Now the Rockies are back to rebuilding. And Holiday is gone. What else has changed? Read our Best of Denver 2007 winners here.

• How do the Colorado Rockies blow? Let us count the ways...

  Sarcasm drips from the headline on Purple Row, a website devoted to the Colorado Rockies. It reads: "Rockies Find New Ways to Keep the Streak Alive; Now 0-7." Yep, the Rockies are zilch-for-2009. In a different blog, our Purple Row friends advise Rockies fans not to panic yet, and even trot out the lyrics from Monty Python's classic ditty "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" as reassurance -- ignoring the fact that in 1979's Life of Brian, the tune is crooned by a bunch of guys being cruc

• Fearless Colorado Rockies opening-day prediction: 72 wins in 2009

  On opening day, hope is supposed to spring eternal for Colorado Rockies fans -- and that's certainly the case in some quarters. Among the predictions made by readers on an April 4 Inside the Rockies post are a couple that suggest the Rocks could actually win the National League West, and several more that have them contending for the division crown only to fall just short. I only wish I could be as optimistic. Just because Todd Helton had a great training camp doesn't mean he'll be able to mai

• Rockies: Don't turn your win streak upside down

  As pointed out in a blog yesterday, the Colorado Rockies need stability more than a franchise-record win streak -- and it's a good thing, since the Rocks were clubbed to death in a 12-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays last night, halting them one victory short of a best-ever twelve triumphs in a row. Now that the run is done, however, the Rockies must not rivert to their old, pre-streak ways and go into the tank for a week or two. That makes their schedule for the rest of June into early July abso

• Rockies can become contenders, not pretenders, in Dodgers series

  Aaron Cook. Fears that the Colorado Rockies might turn their win streak upside down after losing for the first time in twelve games to the Tampa Bay Rays on June 16 proved unfounded in a major (league) way. The next day, the team began a stretch of fourteen games in fifteen days, with nine of those contests on the road -- and I felt that a record of 8-6 over this span would prove the Rockies had transcended flukiness. By that standard, the verdict is already in. Thanks to a masterful performanc

  ​Homer Duggins is the biggest sports fan in Denver and Westword's gambling, uh, "expert." Read his dispatches every Friday in the Latest Word sports section. What an incredible week it was for Denver sports! Good thing it's chilly now too, because it get really hot wearing my Sakic jersey on top of my Helton jersey on top of my Royal jersey. But it's worth it. Do you know why? Because I love the MILE HIGH!!! And did I mention that I'm only an Abe Lincoln from breaking even. This week is

• Rockies get best of Holliday trade (last night, anyway)

  Huston Street heads toward his teammates after finishing off the Phils last night.​ Even after the Wacky Wednesday loss in game one of their playoff series against the Philllies, the Rockies still had a chance to regain home-field advantage -- and they managed to do so with a little help from a pair of players obtained in the trade that sent Matt Holliday to the also-ran Oakland A's. Carlos Gonzalez went three-for-five and scored the game's ever-important first run, while closer Huston Str
