The Padres Didn’t Start the Fire, but still had enough to take down the Rockies on Thursday, 9-3. The Entertainer of the night was Fernando Tatis Jr, who went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored. The Rockies are now 52-63, 7 1⁄2 games out of the second Wild Card spot.
Some Rockies fans are surely Keeping the Faith with regards to the team’s playoff hopes, but Don’t Ask Me Why because their odds seem to be Movin’ Out down the River of Dreams. It’s been The Longest Time since the Rockies played consistently good baseball and if you think this is Just The Way (They) Are, You Might Be Right.
