Eight in a Row
The Rockies lost their 8th in a row tonight. With two out in the bottom of the ninth, Lee walked and Lorreta homered to left field, allowing Houston to walk off with a 9-8 victory. The Rockies, looking like contenders after sweeping the Yankees, haven't won a game since. They've scored 45 runs in the eight games, so runs aren't the problem. The staff that held New York to five runs in three games appears to have disappeared.
The Yankees must be asking, "Why us?"
