About David »

I am a 27 year old from Colorado Springs, CO. I grew up in Denver and have been a baseball fan, and more specifically, a Rockies fan since their inception. I have probably forgotten more about the Rockies than most people know. Finally years of heartbreak and struggle were rewarded in an unprecedented cinderella run in '07. What an amazing ride that was. Also, I have been named Co-Community Leader for the Colorado Rockies page. Check out my website as well...www.rockiesreview.com. In May of 2009 my website was picked up by InDenverTimes.com, a news site formed by former members of the Rocky Mountain News after that newspaper shut its doors. I have appeared five time on Sports Overnight America, a radio show hosted by Patrick Mauro, discussing the Rockies and MLB in general. If you want to talk about the Rockies, I have lots of opinions, so let me know, I love to hear other people's opinions.

David Martin commented on Garrett Atkins and Colorado: Stuck Between a Rockie and a Hard Place

Good article...Atkins was a huge disappointment. My prediction is that he lands with the Rangers. Clint Hurdle loved Atkins and stuck with him to the last...

Hey David,

The BBWAA displayed criminal ineptitude in the NL Cy Young vote. Check out the article, if you get the chance:

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

Hey, this is a article that I'm particularly proud of, and I think you will enjoy it. It looks at some of the strangest injuries to ever occur in baseball history, there certainly are some strange ones.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/242705-five-strangest-injuries-in-baseball-history

As always any feedback/support would be appreciate, and would like to get this article around BR, so if you could tell a friend who might tell a friend. Then that would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance
