Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
It all comes down to this. After a back-and-forth series, the Dodgers forced a Game 7 last night behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who once again threw a gem.

Back on June 2, I wrote an article about the Colorado Rockies then-record, but also rescored each game based on “Banana Ball” rules, inspired by the Savannah Bananas. At that time, the Rockies were 12-50 with a run differential of -181. Based on Banana Ball rules, they would’ve actually been 14-15-33 with a run differential […]

Yes, I’m once again delving into the theoretical world of free agency to help the Colorado Rockies.
