Trevor Story's Thumb Fell Off, Or Something, Everything is Stupid.

             I know last week I came on here and said despite the better year the Rockies were still pretenders, but a funny thing has been happening. The defending national league champion Metropolitans, the perennial 'Classiest fans in Baseball'  refuse to run away with the Wild Card. (I still don't take the Marlins seriously, though I should.) Mets split a subway series where they were clearly the superior team and should have at minimum gone 3-1 in and the Cards just can't handle the fact that the Cubs are the big swinging dick in the division for the foreseeable future. So you wake up on a day where the grass seems greener, the sun seems brighter, things look positive. You realize that if the Rockies stay hot, maybe 8-2 over the next 10 could find themselves in true playoff contention.

But life as a Rockies fan is pain, and Trevor Story is out for the next 2 months with a torn ligament in his thumb. Putting the rest of his season very much in jeopardy and thus ending the most amazing fantasy rookie season we may ever see. Obviously this sucks but isnt a career threatening injury by any means, but what the hell? Why can't we ever have nice things? Why can't we ever be able to enjoy an offensive juggernaut fully intact? Ugh, whatever, baseball is stupid anyway. (Lies). Broncos camp has started anyway. (Kubiak has absolutely no clue which is the lesser of 3 evils at QB.) 

Unfortunately since the Rocks stood pat at the trade deadline we will have to wait until the end of the season for them to trade off Car-Go. No one wants such an awesome dude with a great bat leaving this team but our pitching staff consists of Road Warrior De La Rosa who will always push out winning records despite all the elements working against him and Jon Gray who just isn't there yet. We need help in the starting pitching rotation and an offensive deficient contender will gladly trade off some pitching for his bat. Either way, this season is unfortunately a wash right when it got exciting. At least the future still looks promising, but ....shit.
