Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
After teasing fans with a shot at a pennant right up to mid-August, the Rockies are now in their yearly freefall, losing three of their last four en route to what I expect will be a disastrous road trip that will end any hope of the playoffs. Well, Football starts soon anyway.
