The Rockies are in great shape right now. It's their favorite time of the year and they find themselves 4.5 games back from leading the NL West and 5 games back from leading the wild card. Ubaldo Jimenez finally got his 1st win since the all star break, bringing his total to 18 (1st in the National league, 2nd in the majors). After so many bailouts from Ubaldo early on in the season, Colorado's bats were able to return the favor yesterday vs the Reds, with 10 unanswered runs spanning from the bottom of the 3rd inning through the 7th inning, propelling Colorado to a 10-5 win.15 of Colorado's remaining 25 games are at home, which is a good sign since they are 44-22 at home up to this point in the season, 4th best in baseball. Carlos Gonzalez continues to play lights out with a .340 batting average (1st in the National league, 2nd in all of baseball), 31 home runs (5th in the National league), and 97 RBI's (3rd in the National league), which makes all Colorado fans forget about Matt Holliday. The Rockies currently are tied for 3rd in the National league in total runs this season with 645. This time last year the Rockies were 78-60 which is 5 games better than where they stand today. This means the Rockies must keep their bats going and continue not to leave games up to the bullpen. I like the Rockies' bullpen but they don't seem as strong as last year. The only positive has been Manny Corpas not blowing games. I'm sorry Manny, I hope you get better soon from your injury but with you not playing, it is simply addition by subtraction. Street had 35 saves last year, whereas up to this point in 2010 his save total is at 15, with many other opportunities left on the table. The season is far from over, and it looks like the Rockies' best hope for a postseason birth is going to be winning their 1st division championship in franchise history. And from the looks of San Diego losing 10 of their last 11, they aren't the team to worry about; it's San Francisco.
