"As wonderfully as the entire team played, it was Arenado’s night – one that he will certainly never forget. And for Rockies fans it was another reason to smile in what has so far been a magical season"

"The Rockies aren’t supposed to be good enough to snag a series from the Giants on their home turf. The fact is, Colorado has played better than most folks expected and, if we focus on the small victories, there remains plenty of cause to be upbeat"

For the second straight year ESPN Insider has ranked all 30 MLB teams in order of their future power rankings over the next five seasons.

The rankings consider the current major league lineups, the farm systems, quality of management and financial flexibility of various franchises and how those particulars will affect their competitiveness not only for the coming season but for the next several seasons.

For the Rockies to reach their non-goal of losing 100 games this season they must drop 40 of 65. We're pretty sure that they can handle that ... but can they catch the Astros?

King Joffrey: I'll tell you what. I'm going to give you a present. After I raise my armies, and kill your traitor brother, I'll give you his head as well.
