The Colorado Rockies have had the most up-and-down season so far. They were swept on the road by the Miami Marlins; they then took two of three from the Toronto Blue Jays; they took one of three against the Philadelphia Phillies in the Home Opening series; swept the Houston Astros at home; and then were […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The first article I wrote for PTR was in March 2014, […]
It’s hard to describe this game as anything other than… deflating. While the Rockies entered the day on the verge of being swept, they had also kept the Padres on their toes for three games coming off of a sweep of the Houston Astros at home. Today is where nothing really went right for the […]
What do the Lakers want? That’s not a question I like asking, but as the final day of the NBA 2025-26 regular season gets underway, it’s a question we must ask. Here are the playoff scenarios, and what might happen. First: The Nuggets have a record of 53-28. The Lakers have a record of 52-29. […]

While it’s disappointing to once again be facing a sweep at the end of a series, one must remember the Colorado Rockies are who we thought they were. They are a team at the ground floor of a rebuild and by their own admission are “here for the climb.” By that metric, the Rockies have […]
The San Diego Padres put an end to their recent walk-off shenanigans with a 9-5 come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Rockies Saturday night. Germán Márquez, after his last stellar start, reverted to his previous not-so-good form but still managed to pick up the win with some thump from the offense. Márquez allowed four runs on […]
The Colorado Avalanche have suffered a litany of injuries this season, but I didn’t expect that trend to strike the coaching staff. Here we are, though, as the Avalanche made a concerned comeback effort that fell short in a game where a stray puck caught their lead bench boss up-high. Following the game, the Avalanche […]
This is it: the final regular season contest of the year for the Denver Nuggets as they face off against the Spurs in San Antonio…
The post Preview: The Nuggets travel to San Antonio in the final regular season game to play the Spurs appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
German Marquez was not sharp in his start against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park on Saturday night. The former Rockies ace who was facing his former team for the first time, allowed three home runs and Colorado held a 4-0 lead heading into the bottom of the third inning. In years past, the game […]
When the Colorado Rockies left Coors Field on Wednesday night they were on top of the world. They had started the week having avoided a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and proceeded to rattle off three more wins to sweep the usually dominant Houston Astros. It was the Rockies’ first […]
As skaters took turns hoisting the national championship trophy over their heads, blaring throughout T-Mobile Arena was “All I Do Is Win.”A typical song to play after championships have been won.But the song seemed especially poignant, given that Denver was doing the winning. Because, really, all Denver seems to do is win, win, win, no matter what.It was most aptly put by Paxton Geisel, a Denver...
The San Antonio Spurs come into Game 82 of the 2025-2026 regular season with the power to influence the final standings and potential 2nd round match-ups. Though they’re locked into the #2 seed and one side of the West bracket, their opponent tonight, the Denver Nuggets, come into tonight’s game as the 3rd seed, but […]
On a day when the University of Denver hockey team won their historic 11th National Championship, it felt like nothing could go wrong in the Colorado sports world. Alas, there was no more Mile High Magic to go around for the Colorado Rockies (or Colorado Avalanche) tonight. Things got off to a promising start. Ryan […]

The Colorado Rockies will try to limit the damage after two straight walk-off losses to the San Diego Padres. In good news, the starting pitching has been stellar and both games have been competitive throughout. Thursday, Jimmy Herget opened with a 1-2-3 inning, paving the way for Chase Dollander to take a bulk of the […]
The Colorado Avalanche, fresh off a Presidents Trophy-clinching performance on Thursday, play their final weekend game of the regular season tonight. After a three and a half month hiatus, they will wrap up the season series against the Vegas Golden Knights, who pay their only(?) visit to the Mile High City this spring. Colorado Avalanche […]
In Week 15 this past season, the Green Bay Packers’ defense suffered its most brutal loss of the season to that point. No, it wasn’t that they lost a 34-26 game to Denver, but rather the loss of Micah Parsons for a team that was sitting at 9-3-1 heading into the game. The loss of […]

The final weeks and, specifically, days of the NBA season always brings with it a team or two messing with the basketball Gods by trying to tank their way to a preferred match-up. On Friday, it came from a very unexpected place. The Nuggets, who have been one of the hottest teams in the league […]
Jesús Luzardo dazzled in the second game of the road trip against the Colorado Rockies, striking out 11 in 6.2 innings of one-run ball. It was a strong bounce back start after struggling against Texas to begin the year. There is one three-pitch sequence that can tell anyone how dialed in he was in Coors. […]
After five Triple-A games, Konnor Griffin forced the issue — .438/.571/.625 — and debuted in Pittsburgh’s April 4 home opener. Less than a week later, the Pirates — hardly a perennial contender — announced a nine-year extension that keeps him under contract through 2034. That’s not just a prospect promotion. That’s a team deciding to be aggressive. For an organization […]
For the second tine in as many nights, and for the first time in the new City Connect 2.0 uniforms, the San Diego Padres walked off the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park. One night after Xander Bogaerts hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 12th inning, Gavin Sheets hit his second home […]
The Colorado Rockies battled all night, grinding through tough at-bats before finally breaking through with two late runs — making the walk-off home run that followed all the more painful. Juan Mejia gets tagged with the loss and Mason Miller picked up the win for the Padres. Pitchers set the tone early Tomoyuki Sugano and […]
