Ah, nothing like the smell of doubt and despair...

At least, when it's coming from the Colorado Rockies.

Although the Giants weren't the first to put a hitch in the Rockies' get-along, they certainly made it into a full-blown limp.

Not a pimp limp, either.

But if we look closer at the Rockies recent schedule, they really haven't been right since the Giants Tonya Harding'd them back in mid-April. Since the time the Giants rolled into Denver and took 2 of 3, the Rockies record is a rather pedestrian and unimpressive 6-11. Since they took the rubber match game of that Giants series 10-2, they've only managed to score more than 5 runs one time...and they scored 6 runs in that game.

Sometimes the Rockies' losing ways confound me more than their win streaks.

Now the Giants play the Arizona Diamonbacks, who have remained competitive to this point and haven't yet gone gentle into that good night.

Regardless of the issues the Giants have had with injury and uneven performances from most of their roster, I think we have to be happy that they've managed to negotiate it and still have a winning record*.

*essentially this means I just don't have anything new to complain about
