Rox take two on Memorial Day

It seems that all the Rockies spring training questions have been answered. Yet the emphatic and exuberant amount of red markings on the page, one that’s under two months in the works, isn’t something Purple Monday fans were hoping for.

Colorado sits a gaudy 13 games out of first place in the NL West, and ten games under .500.

The bright side, or at least the one with a tiny, minuscule, glimmer of hope came in the form of a Memorial Day double dip.

The Rockies are in no place to take a positive note lightly. They don’t have the ability to take a win for granted, granted only 8 have come in this month. Don’t jump ship by calling for a Mayday, on any one of the last days in May; it is rather the exact opposite.

Colorado is bad. Heck, beating the Houston Astros 9-7 and then 7-6 in extra innings under the same moon is making at least one half-literate blogger giddy isn’t right.

But I’ll take it, in hopes that it will be a day to remember, for both those that courageously served our country and a step in the right direction for the Rockies.
