The Colorado Rockies are gearing up for a big series this evening against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Four games against the second-best team in all of baseball (you know, more or less).

It could be either a fun week in Denver playing the role of playoff spoiler, or a long week losing four games to a very good team in front of Coors Field crowds of about 583 people. Likely, it’ll fall in between those two extremes.

Ok. Not a ton of news today, Sundays are typically slower news days, so we’ve only got a couple of things to cover… Here’s what’s going down in today’s edition of the rundown:

• Yohan Flande is recovering from his comebacker injury; his teammates love his toughness and focus.
• Purple Row has a good piece up about the Colorado Rockies and a possible nuclear winter that’ll hopefully provoke thought.
• Jeff Bridich had a long radio interview today about the Rockies; we dive into some of the important quotes you need to know.

Lots to discuss! Let’s cover today’s news and notes around the Colorado Rockies.
