Avs and Rockies...

Well its been a couple of days/weeks.  I got busy and I just couldn't find the time to get on here (excuse).  Anyway a lot has happened in the world of sport in my mind so lets dive in.

I am going to start with the PGA with no more football I have found myself watching more golf.  I understand why people love it.  I always tell my wife "I am going to watch golf and nap".  Its an extremely slow moving (quiet too) sport.  Love it.  In a fast paced loud world its nice to relax and watch some golf.  In about 10 years I bet am addicted to watching and playing golf.  Currently I am watching the Northern Trust Open.

Jay's call of the day...
This tournament goes to a playoff.

Onto the lowly avalanche.. Tons of O'Reilly talk but nothing happening.  He will probably get dealt and the Avs will watch him dominate on another team or he will be a bust.  Either way Avs don't spend any cash so its a mute point anyway.  Last nights oilers-avs games was really dissapointing.  Up 4-1 and then let the high flying middle school aged Oilers take it you.  Varly was unreal not much help at the back end.. 

The Nuggets are on All-Star break.  They had an unreal road trip but still had 2 extremely tough losses late to very good eastern teams.  They will be fine and hopefully end up as a 4-5 seed and make a run to get out of the first round.

Rockies...Ah my summer crush.  They get me so excited in Feburary-March getting ready for spring trainning and then its the same break up every July when the are 15 back...
Lets look at the Projected Lineup:
1. Dex - New Contract, Needs to get on and not strikeout...
2. Rutledge- Like I said his GF is hot.  Rutledge could be the Rox breakout player this year
3. Cargo- Bombs away.
4. Tulo-  Need to be healthy and everything will workout.
5. Cuddyer-  Solid
6. Helton- ? Really.. Colvin?
7. Rosario- Beast
8. Nelson- 27 year olds sometimes take off and have career years (that would help)

Rotation (I guess)
1. De la Rosa- Coming off major surgery... Is he really an ace? I guess we will find out
2. Chacin-  Coming off injury... would be a fringe starter on any other team but here he is a 2
3. Pomeranz-  Would be nice if the Ubaldo trade really paid off here...
4. Nicasio- Coming off major injuries... Love him but he has dealt with some MAJOR injuries
5. Francias-  The Canadian...  Can he give 6 innings, 3-4 ERs most of the time? If he can that would help...

Will we dive into the guys trying to make a spot next time and the bullpen.

Until then see you later.
