Colorado Rockies Are On The Verge Of 100 Losses

If you have been keeping up with the Colorado Rockies of late, you may have noticed the team lost their sixth-straight game Sunday afternoon, picking up the 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Not only did they get swept by St. Louis, they were swept the series before by the New York Mets. With their sixth-straight loss, the Rockies fell to 59-90 on the season, just ten more losses away from 100.

The possible scenarios for the Colorado Rockies to reach 100 losses on the season is quite simple. The team cannot win more than three games, so going 3-10 at-best the rest of the way is the max. Looking at the schedule ahead, it’s looking more and more clear that Colorado can reach the century mark in the loss column.

The team sets up a seven-game homestand against the Los Angeles Dodgers (3) and Arizona Diamondbacks (4), before hitting the road for the final six games on the season, taking on the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers yet again. Just by looking at it, Colorado could scrape some wins against Arizona and San Diego — preventing the first 100 loss season in franchise history.

Just to compare how bad this 2014 team has played, the last team to come close to the 100 loss mark was two years ago —  the 2012 Colorado Rockies which finished with a record of 64-98. No offense, but the 2012 team was bad, real bad, but the 2014 roster could certainly finish with the same amount of losses.

With football season in full-force and the Denver Broncos continuing to rack up the wins, many people will disregard the Rockies and rightfully so. Even if you’re not watching the games, make sure to follow them the rest of September to see if they reach such a feat (100 losses).

Personally, I don’t know how people can root for their favorite team to collect a certain amount of losses, but if it means forcing change within the organization, I’m all for it. At this point, the Colorado Rockies are basically an appetizer to Denver Broncos football, but the appetizer is disgusting or just isn’t getting the job done.
