It was a busy week here at Rox Pile! Check out what you might have missed.

Saturday

I posted a recap for Sunday’s loss to the Angels, which completed their sweep of the Rockies and was partly, or maybe entirely, the umpires’ fault.

Monday

Zach wrote a defense of Todd Helton, whose critics tend to materialize out of nowhere whenever he has a bad game or two.

Hayden, who has been off the grid lately, writes about the unique opportunity to experience the Rockies’ successes and failures from a distance. Also, I dare you to get Kelly Clarkson out of your head after reading this post.
