Rockies Hit The Skids In April

2 wins their last 10. Ouch. Incosistent hitting and poor pitching have made for a miserable spring for the Rockies. The only bright spot has been the pitching of Aaron Cook, but he can only do some much for this team In baseball, teams get hot and teams win games. But the best teams are consistent. These are teams like the Yankees and Red Sox and Cubs (I'm talking about this year only), that know how to win and expect to win. That have a bear down attitude toward the the season. An attitude that wins you 90 to 100 games and always gets teams into the playoffs. The Rockies don't have it becuase it's something that franchises develop over the years. I'm calling out the entire Rockies organization for this pathetic month of baseball. I thought they could rise above after going 8-3 following their 1-5 start. Good teams build on past successes. Last year's team was good, a team that could build upon its successes around a nucleus of young talent. The organization has done nothing but regress since the end of last year, falling back to the mediocrity that Rockies fans know so well. The high hopes of this twon have been dashed against the very boulders of the very namesake of our beloved team. Fall dreams are fizzling in the April for this club. They have to rise above the losses to even manage a respectable season. There's nothing worse than being labeled a fluke team, a title the 2008 Rockies are steadily earning their 2007 counter-part. But they have 5 months to prove me wrong.
