In the Rockies’ dictionary, June is a four-letter word. And it is spelled d-o-o-m. By definition, June means: Curses, foiled again. This is the time of year when we fire up the barbecue grill, and all the dreams of the local baseball team go up in smoke.
As the calendar flipped to the first of June, I sat in the Colorado dugout next to manager Walt Weiss, and asked: Should I be worried? And are you worried?
The Rockies have made a bad habit of coming unraveled in June. Since 2012, their record in the month is 42-71.
