Rocky season testing Walt Weiss

Walt Weiss wore a finger on his chest in the cold air at Coors Field last week after he stepped between his catcher, Nick Hundley, and first-base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.

The umpire ejected Hundley for arguing a check-swing strike. And Wendelstedt was browbeating Weiss, wagging his finger square at the manager's sternum. There wasn't much for Weiss to say.

That finger isn't the only one pointing at Weiss. The Rockies, mired in the worst month of Weiss' three-year tenure as Colorado's manager, continue to slide out of contention. There's plenty of blame to go around at 20th and Blake for a team with the fewest wins, 15, in the National League.
