Nonsense, we should beat this team blindfolded. If we cannot win after some travel to a different time zone, we are in big trouble. Have some pride and do your job. Trap games are for losers.

That's what makes it a trap game

Even this horrible Rockies team wins almost 25% of its home games, and any major league team can always win any game. We came into Denver last year with a .725 winning percentage and lost 2 of 3. And the travel and jet lag and the altitude are all real things.

Well, today Wilson got the start, and I'm sure it was still the right choice overall. But he's not even really an LF and the ball always finds you doesn't it?
