The dog days of summer find the Rockies in everybody's doghouse.
Fans, sports radio talk-show hosts, newspaper columnists, bloggers and a certain beat writer have all been taking big bites out of the lads from LoDo.
With good reason. The Rockies' pitching has been bad, their performance at the plate inconsistent and their base- running often sloppy.
Even after their crazy, 6-5, wild-pitch, walk-off win over the Reds on Friday night, the Rockies are on pace to lose 92 games. Their upcoming schedule, which includes road games at Chicago, St. Louis, Washington and New York, looms brutal on the horizon.
