Demoralizing

For the third straight night, the Rockies lost in their opponents final at-bat. Huston Street coughed up the game Thursday night, giving up 2 solo homers in the 9th to the Diamondbacks who then won in 11.
Friday night Felipe Paulino blew a lead in the 9th to the Giants and last night, in a tie game in the 9th Paulino gagged again.
Every team loses a game in the last inning that they probably should have won. It happens. But when it happens 3 straight games, that just kills a team.
The Rockies have lost 5 of 6 and are falling into bad habits, the same habits that last year cost them dearly. They are losing on the road again, 1-4 on the current trip, losing 1 run games again (their last 4 losses by 1 run) and they are losing games late. That was the formula last year.
The Rockies have certainly cooled off and are struggling right now. They should be in the race all season but it looks like, at this early juncture, that the Wild Card team won't be coming out of the West. The Dodgers, Diamondbacks and Padres stink so it looks like the Giants and Rockies will battle it out for the division.
Meanwhile, if the Giants get Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, that could be the difference.
While it's way too early to panic, what I've seen in the past week from the Rockies makes me think that it's going to be a dogfight in the West this year.
