National News Source:Bleacher Report - Colorado Rockies - September 3 11:07 AM MDT

The loss came from sloppy play and sloppy at-bats. It was another wasted Ubaldo Jimenez start, which now makes the-once-ridiculous question become more reality. Will Jimenez win 20 games in 2010?For the Rockies, the problem is not talent, the problem is no... Read More »
