The Rockies hit the peak of their career as a team since 1993, when they won the National League Pennant for the first time in franchise history during the 2007 season. This came after a series of losing seasons. The team's manger, Clinton Merrick Hurdle, a former outfielder in the MLB, won rave reviews as he steered the Rockies to a an impressive victory the previous season.
The Rockies had their best finish ever in the team's 15-year history in 2007 by winning the last 14 games out of 15. In the Division Series, the Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies, to face the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLCS. They won 21 out of 22 games in the previous season. They ultimately lost to the Red Sox in the World Series Championship. That was their first post 2007 loss. The 2008 season is slated to be the 16th season of professional baseball in Denver thanks to the Rockies, and it is expected by baseball fans and critics alike that one can expect a thundering game from their side.
Colorado’s strength was in its super bullpen that took the pressure off the starting rotation. Once a lead was established in the middle innings, the bullpen was always there to set the pace. Critics agree that Rockies mere offense will not be enough for them to secure a winner. The pitching will also need to be a class act to repeat the success of the previous season. You can expect an action packed performance from the excellent Colorado Rockies, as they prepare to repeat their stellar performance once again this season.
