Not by any means. In fact, I was just about to write some nice poetic fanpost about using up karma and the backlash of a miracle and all sorts of stuff like that. I don’t think I will, but it just makes me so sad to watch this right now. It’s just HARD to care so much! So I do what I do, get involved in other stuff, and try to pretend that it’ll all be okay. It’s just tough to watch them…but I haven’t given up.

It is definitely tough to watch right now. I guess I just get miffed by people who have decided that they aren’t going to head out to the ballpark anymore, who decide that they will come on here and attempt to drag people down and not support the guys out there. Negativity breeds nothing buy more negativity. It is a snowball effect, just growing and growing. I don’t need that, the city of Denver doesn’t need that, and I guarantee you that the guys in the 1B side dugout at Coors don’t need that. We need to lift this team up, rather than trying to drive nails in their coffin.

I will love the Rockies until I die. If they keep playing like this, it will be a lot sooner than scheduled. (Kidding?)

So what do I do? Not watch the games for now. I love them, but it hurts so badly, and I need to focus on the rest of my life which is not baseball. When/if they look better, I’ll watch. That doesn’t mean I ignore them or hate them. I just kind of have to pretend they don’t exist, since I love them so much and they suck so badly right now.

I’m still one of the insatiably optimistic people who think it’ll get better eventually, but that does not dissuade me from doing my fair share of pissing and moaning at the moment.

We give and give and give and then they don’t beat the Diamondbacks. Of course the Rockies are going to get the doghouse treatment when they do that. Bring us flowers, chocolates, the head of Stephen Drew on a plate, and don’t worry, it’ll all be warm and fuzzy again.

If you let them slide too much, they’ll just take advantage of you. Believe me, right now the moaning might seem negative, but in the long run it saves our relationship.

I love the Rockies with all my heart & soul and always will even when I die I’ll be cheering them on up in heaven, but with this slump they’re in is hurting me bad enough that I end up changing the channel if the other teams leading 6 to 0 or so, usualy they win if I don’t watch them on TV.

every time I’m at Coors Field I always cheer/root for the Rockies while working over at the Waze gate next to the Hill Yard Deli, I listen to the game on the radio cuzz they don’t have a TV or radio where I’m at & the radio’s outside Coors are to low for me to hear w/o having to leave my post to listen to it.

And I was only wrong once, and that was after Game 3 of the World Series. These are the first six just for the record:

After the Royals series in May
The Road Trip from Hell
The Lopez/Hirsh injuries
After the Marlins series in September
The loss to Webb that ended the 11-Game Winning Streak
The Middle of the 13th in the Tiebreaker

is that after last year, I really felt like the franchise had turned the corner. For the first time since the 90’s, I went into a season with pretty high expectations. Last April/May weren’t as tough because the team was doing what it had before.
Last night, when we fell down 5-0 to the D-Backs, I turned off the game and played GTA 4. I would never do that last season, but I truly felt that there was no way the Rockies were going to win that game. It is getting harder to watch this team every day.

I think the naive thing would be to give up on the Rockies. We know what this team is capable of and how it handled itself in situations like this one. The only time I would give up on the Rockies would be when it is sure thy didn’t make the playoffs, but then I would still have hope for next year.
