Game 39: Rookies at Pirates

7:05pm. Wright and Redman.

I was tuned into a Rockies game the other day. The announcer, a good homer, read an email from a fan asking if the Rockies would finish the year with more win than the Pirates. The Pirates were selected not at random, of course, but as though they stood for Losing. The question more or less said something like, "Do you think we might - shudder - be as bad as the Pirates?" I forget the exact wording.

The two announcers were quite hearty with their knowledge that yes, this Rockies team was much better than that Pirates team.

This weekend, we'll see if they are right.
