A 3-3 week against Florida and the Braves. A traditionally difficult road trip. The Roxs had opportunities but lost a few close ones. A good week for the Roxs who are still hanging around. Still comfortably in 4th place, 5.5 out of first (due to those crazy D-backs, why are their rookies better than ours?), and 3.0 out of the wild card race. The Roxs currently stand at 56 - 54. Currently 30-21 at home and 26-33 on the road, the Roxs have outscored its opponents 540-524 (expected wins is 57 versus historical wins at 51). On pace for 82 wins. Nothing happened at the trade deadline. It would have been nice to have the Roxs newsworthy but frankly there wasn't any real talent out there so it is good we hung on to our prospects. San Diego was the only one who really spent and they didn't really get much.
Listening to the Mets/Braves game tonight and heard the announcer make a snide comment about the Roxs winning record at home versus away and wondered what the Roxs have done over the years. Anyway the most road wins is 36 in 1997 although their best winning percentage was the strike shortened wild card year at 0.467. The Roxs win an average of 31 road games a year and have posted a 0.543 winning percentage at home over the years and only a 0.387 percentage away from the Rocky Mountains...hmmmm. This year they have 26 wins and have a 0.441 percentage or on pace for 36 wins. Can we get another Wild Card?. Roxs graphical wins (home in Purple, away in grey)
