@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: While I agree Boulder has a lot of hippies, I think your forgetting about this little town called Berkeley.

I think Boulder and Santa Cruz are second and third respectively in the line of succession.

Is Clint Hurdle still fat and sporting a soul patch? Was Helton able to bag any elk after the World Series or was hunting season over? Why did God abandon them on the biggest stage last year? Where's all the good information? This is the most boring preview yet.

Camp Tiger Claw — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 13:42:04 EST

The one nasty storm cloud on the Rockies' horizon, the impending free agency of outfielder and offensive linchpin Matt Holliday, has been at the very least pushed further away by the two-year deal Holliday signed this winter.

That really is a fail safe plan for avoiding free agency. Maybe they should try it again in two years.
