Colorado Rockies Opening Day 2015: A review in pictures

Reviewing the (early season) high point -- as well as some quick thoughts on the low point -- of 2015.

I began writing this post Sunday afternoon with the Rockies comfortably in front of the Cubs, 4-1. The resultant five innings, however, changed the perspective on my pie-in-the-sky Opening Day piece.

LaTroy Hawkins has gotta get out of there (update: he since has!). The praise he's received is that he "limits walks and doesn’t give up the long ball." He no longer does this. Hawkins broke my heart.

Every season there is one game after which I can’t sleep at night, and it’s frustrating to a personal level because it's often that one game that makes me realize the Rockies are, in fact, a bad team.
