A baseball card collection that feature's Colorado's boys of summer dresses wearing fashions from Denver designers. Here, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki swings his bat in a bridal gown by Crystal Sharpe...
John Valentin.Last night, Troy Tulowitzki had one of the best nights ever by a member of the Colorado Rockies, driving in seven runs and hitting for the cycle (thanks to a wild sprint that stretched a double into triple) in an 11-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Along the way, Tulo became just the second player in Major League Baseball history to hit for the cycle and complete an unassisted triple play, as he did in 2007 against the Atlanta Braves.
The only other person to complete this
Troy Tulowitzki near the beginning of cycle night, in an image broadcast by ESPN.On Monday night, Troy Tulowitzki hit for the cycle against the Chicago Cubs, becoming just the second player in Major League Baseball history (after the Red Sox's John Valentin) to complete this feat and make an unassisted triple play, as Tulo did in 2007. But it didn't take long for naysayers to suggest that the last piece of the cycle puzzle, a triple, actually was something less than that. In ESPN's Sports

Tulo.Local sports yakkers have been hyping the Colorado Rockies' current homestand as the most important in the history of the franchise, which strikes me as an example of enthusiasm trumping short-term memory. Seems to me there were some pretty key series at Coors Field during the run-up to the Rockies' World Series season, which took place waaaay back in 2007. Still, it was impossible not to get excited about the squad's response to Friday's opening-game 6-3 loss to the San Francisco Gi
Ryan Spliborghs.This morning on ESPN Radio, Jason Smith noted that only one walk-off grand slam in Major League Baseball history had taken place in a later inning than Ryan Spilborghs' 14th inning shocker that lifted the Colorado Rockies to an unlikely win over the San Francisco Giants last night: Boston Red Sox player Clyde Vollmer achieved the feat in the 16th inning to frustrate the Cleveland Indians back in 1951. Added data: The last walk-off slam in the 14th was hammered by new Rocks
Troy Tulowitzki in a shot from the FSN Insider website.It's happening again. Just as in 2007, when the Colorado Rockies' World Series run coaxed people who would usually rather shave their body with a rotary lawnmower than watch a baseball game to plant themselves in front of their set, viewers are clicking on FSN Rocky Mountain's coverage of the team in huge numbers. The net boasts that the Rocks' epic 6-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday is the third-highest-rated Rockies
Ian Stewart.The Colorado Rockies' 4-3 victory against the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, thanks to a timely solo shot by Ian Stewart, means the club has won five of the first six games during its ongoing homestand, thereby taking advantage of their extremely favorable September schedule's first phase. But despite this excellent run, the Rocks have only gained two games on the San Francisco Giants in the race for the National League wild card -- and if they don't overcome a minor injury to Tro
Most commentators discussing the Philadelphia Phillies' 5-1 dismantling of the Colorado Rockies yesterday came to the conclusion that the P-men simply outclass the Rocks on every level -- an easy conclusion to draw if you suffered through the last five innings. But amid the destruction, there was reason for hope, and not just because Troy Tulowitzki knocked in a last-minute run to prevent Cliff Lee from registering a complete-game shutout. Nearly every member of the Rockies who played wel
