It would be a surprise if the Rockies hold on to make the playoffs.  That's nothing to be ashamed of, they simply aren't good enough, at least not yet.  The D-backs and Cardinals have far, far superior pitching.  It's worth remembering that no one had the Rockies competing this season; they are way ahead of schedule.  The future is bright, but way too many rookie pitchers combined with hitters who come up small in big-time at-bats (Story, I am looking at you).  Looking forward to the next few seasons.  If these young arms can stay healthy the Rockies will be in great shape.
