Even before spring training began, the Colorado Rockies were predicted by experts to finish with the worst record in baseball this season. And how are the Rockies doing now that the season has begun? As of this morning, their record is 4 wins and 12 losses, the worst in baseball. Optimists point out that they lost 9 of those games by 2 runs or less, very close games indeed. The offense has just not produced many runs, and I have to wonder how many of those 9 games they would have won if they hadn't traded away Nolan Arenado, their all-star third baseman, in a salary dump? Sadly, yesterday they lost the game to the New York Mets by a score of 2 to 1, the game ending when shortstop Trevor Story was thrown out trying to steal second base in the bottom of the 9th inning. I took the photograph above as the rather subdued crowd was exiting the stadium. But cheer up, Colorado Rockies fans - there is no way this team can finish worse than the 1962 New York Mets, who ended the season with a 40-120 record, right? Right? Right?
