Purple Row Radio - 6/27/11

Welcome back to Purple Row Radio!

On this edition, Andrew and I discuss the following topics and more:

- Biking.
- Impressions of the Yankees series; what we wanted and what we actually got.
- Aaron Cook's current situation upcoming at the end of the year (or sooner).
- What should be done with Cook in the meantime?
- If we were to move Cook out of the rotation, who could replace him?
- Why Greg thinks Eric Young Jr's spot in the team has to do with Dexter Fowler's weaknesses, and why Andrew thinks Cole Garner should be here instead.



Wheee.

Purple Row Radio - 6/20/11

Welcome back to Purple Row Radio! On this edition, Andrew and I get very distracted and talk about the following random things and (probably) more:

- Rockies players playing through games with broken bones. Cool!
- What exactly does it mean to be on the 40 Man Roster and the 60 Day Disabled List? Whoa!
- Why did Matt Pagnozzi get the call as opposed to Eliezer Alfonzo or Jordan Pacheco? Awesome!
- Flashback to backup catchers of years past, including names such as Alvin Colina, Edwin Bellorin and Geronimo Gil. Radical!
- Why Jason Hammel and Huston Street give such great interviews. Totally sweet!
- Andrew takes another look at the progress of Charlie Blackmon and Chris Nelson as they continue their quests for long-term opportunities with the Rockies. Wow!
- What can we expect from the upcoming Indians series? .... exclamation!
- Producing a podcast. .... Seriously?
- Plenty of other nonsense.



Note: this episode is not, in fact, a toy commercial.

Purple Row Radio - 6/13/11

Welcome to this special realignment edition of Purple Row Radio (seriously, that's about all we talk about)! On this edition, Andrew and I discuss:

- Something unusual and possibly Rockies related that I discovered at work.
- We break down the new realignment proposal and compare it to some of the other common proposals.
- We each cover our opinions on this realignment and realignment in general.
- Why do I want to keep divisional play but, possibly even more radically, remove the league separation?
- All sorts of other opinions on interleague play, the DH, and more.
- Why Andrew is impressed with Chris Nelson.
- Why this is a huge opportunity for Nelson, and why by contrast, Charlie Blackmon doesn't have to make the impression Nelson does right now.

- We bring in John Gennaro, who shares his thoughts on the Padres season thus far.
