Colorado Rockies Rant from the Sports Muffin

From the Hairy Guate

Sports Illustrated picked the Colorado Rockies to go 89-73 this year and reach the NLCS. Many other experts agreed that they would either win the NL west or claim the Wild Card. I know they made the World Series last year, BUT COME ON!!! With that starting pitching I'm not sure how on earth that even happened. Nobody in their rotation has ever posted a sub 4.00 ERA over an entire season as a starter except for Mark Redman for one season in Florida. MARK REDMAN?!?!?! When I look up grotesque in the dictionary I see a fat picture of Mark Redman. His 7.43 ERA can be no surprise to anyone. When Aaron Cook is leading your rotation you might as well kiss the season goodbye. I know Cook has had a great start, but even with his solid pitching the team is still struggling. There will be no bandwagon hopping for Rockie fans this year.
