These are the Breaks

All I wanna do is shine
Make some loot, and sip some wine
Buy me a mansion then recline
Have all the honey dips wine and grind...

The Rockies hit the All-Star Break at the same spot they were at on Opening Day, a svelte .500. After the debacle that was their last road trip, a stellar 5-1 home stand has them back on the perimeter of the NL West and Wild Card hunt. Now, another 10 game road trip looms. Will the Rockies in the 2nd half:

-Keep playing at a .500 clip?
-Fall off the map at losing a horde of games, making Bronco training camp seem like Christmas in July?
-Make a move at the trade deadline, make a small run at the division, and keeping our attention?
-Fall back out of contention over July and August, only to put together a .750 September while playing versus teams that have already packed it in. Thus finishing again in 4th place, but causing Dan O'Dud and crew to say they're "heading in the right direction" for 2008?
-A member of the grounds' crew will be flung in the air all the way to the Pepsi Center (where he will find more gainful employment with a team that values wins)
