Some observations as the Rockies enter the final third of their season.
• A few weeks ago, manager Bud Black asked me why I kept writing about the Rockies being on track for a 100-loss season. I told him I thought it was a relevant measuring stick regarding the direction of the team because the team has never had 100 losses. I’m not sure he bought my argument.
As I write this, the Rockies own a 43-66 record and are on pace to finish 64-98, which would tie the 2012 club for the worst mark in franchise history.
