A 5-1 week...the Jekyll and Hyde season continues. After going 1-9 on the road trip they come home and sweep the Mets (hey only team in baseball history to sweep both the Mets and Yankees in one season) and then win a series against the Phillies. Obviously consistency isn't in the Roxs vocabulary this season. The Roxs are again comfortably in 4th place with San Diego only 5.5 games ahead. The Roxs currently stand at 44 - 44. Currently 26-19 at home and 18-25 on the road, the Roxs have been outscored 428-438 (expected wins is 43 versus historical wins at 41). On pace for 81 wins. Decent close out to the first half. With the way the Roxs are playing a .500 record is the best you can hope for at this point in the season. Not great but they haven't written themselves off yet and still have the chance to play meaningful games in August.....IF.....they are competitive on the next road trip. The next 10 games is the Roxs season. Tank the trip and even with the next 7 games at home against SD and LA it won't matter. Stay within striking distance and those 7 home games can put you into contention and spring you into August having a chance. No Broncos talk yet but go 1 - 9 on the road again and your back page news sharing "dead' lines withe Rapids.

Oh yeah, "The Herd" on ESPN had a nice chat about Todd Helton. Basically saying he is the best player no one has ever heard of. Nice to hear the Roxs get some love. They think he is a HOFer, what to you say?
1,794 hits through age 32, a career BA of .332! An OPS above 1 at 1.017. Great start lets hope he can continue on for another 8 years. By the way do the Roxs give him a chance with a postseason this year? Or does he hang on hoping for glory in the Purple?
