It's early August and the Rockies season is pretty much over. 10 Games out with 50 games to play requires them to either win nearly all their games or have both Arizona and San Francisco collapse the rest of the season.
The injury to Juan Nicasio typifies the way the season has gone. From the first defensive play of the first spring training game, injuries have plagued the Rockies. The Rockies have used 43 players so far this year.
But the Rockies have no spark this year. Early on, they had some exceptional pitching but there has never been any sustained consistent hitting, over a long stretch. The bullpen seems in disrepair, and the Starting pitching has never really gotten in a groove.
This team is 45-59 since the end of April. There is little life in this team. The next two months should be spent evaluating what they have on the field, and making sure they have the right parts to start the 2012 Season.
