The Colorado Rockies came into Citizens Bank Park this weekend a broken team away from Coors Field. With an 18-50 road record, the Rockies were supposed to provide the Phillies with the cannon fodder they needed to blast themselves up the NL East and wild card races, either by either sweeping or at least taking three of four from the woebegone Rocks.
Four days later, Colorado leaves town having won three of four, humiliating a Phils team that has all but thrown away their playoff chances in 2021 as a result.
Hey, at least they made the Rockies feel better about themselves.
