SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The Rockies live in a neighborhood they can’t afford. In the ritzy National League West, where the rich get championship rings and Colorado cries poor, there will be no World Series victory parade in LoDo for the 30th consecutive summer of waiting until next year.
Around here, baseball is an exercise in creative excuses for why the Rockies can’t win. The air is too thin. The Dodgers are too wealthy. Yada, yada, yada.
“At the end of the day, it’s about wins and losses. That’s why you have standings … It’s a game, but they do keep score.
