The Colorado Rockies, as of this morning, have a win-loss record of 10-18. This is the worst record in the National League. However, there is a team in the American League, the Detroit Tigers, that is even worse, although not by much. I suspect it will be a fight to the finish to see which one finishes the season as the most horrible team in baseball this year. The Rockies' general manager, Jeff Bridich, resigned last week, and it is generally agreed that whoever replaces him will have quite a task on their hands rebuilding the team. In any case, I took the photograph above of my sister Susan and late brother-in-law George at Coors Field back in September of 1996, the year after the Rockies reached the playoffs after only their third year of existence. Much different expectations back then than today. As Chicago Cubs fans always like to say, wait until next year...
