Rockies Road is Officially Over

Stalkin, walkin in my big black boots
Living off the earth eatin herbs and fruits...

It officially became football season last night. How do I know this? A 4-2 Diamondbacks’ lead in the 7th inning, and on the rooftop of a LoDo bar, what are the masses watching? Gymnastics. It appears the Rockies’ bandwagoners and hanger ons have finally traded in their Garrett Atkins for Shawn Johnson.

There will be no miracle run, even in the NL Worst. There was a small glimmer of hope post-All Star Break, but as the team has bungled this homestand (only two wins) they needed a sweep of the Snakes. Not going to happen, as Randy Johnson and his greasy mullet shut down the Rox lineup.

Injuries, lack of clutch hitting, a notch down from their 07 defense, the complete fiasco of the fifth starter, it has all added up to 9 games out, 14 games under, 40 games left.

Even a 1st grade math geek knows those numbers add up to shifting attention to football. And apparently, Rockies’ fans think it adds up to a 15.85 in the uneven bars.

The only .750 clip you're going to see around here is the collective BA level of the SG crew starting in about 2 weeks.

The Rocks are done, and hopefully that tangerine manager of theirs is done too.
