Free Fall

The wretched Pirates were 11-38 on the road this season, the worst in baseball, heading into last night's game with the Rockies.
After the game the Bucs were 12-38 away from home following a 4-2 win over Colorado.
The Rockies have lost 7-in a row and are 2-10 in their last 12. When the Rocks fail to reach the playoffs, their post All-Star game lethargy will be looked upon as their death knell.
I don't want to say it's over. The Rocks have shown in the past (2007, 2009) that they can get Marissa Miller hot. But let's face it. Those hot streaks don't come around too often.
So while I won't say it's over, remembering what Yogi said, the Rockies are on life support.
How bad is it? Their closer was hurt during batting practice. Huston Street suffered an abdominal contusion and had to be taken to the hospital after being struck by a ball hit by Ian Stewart. Things don't look too good in Denver right now.
