So Soon?

After only 16 days with CapR, the Designation Committee has stripped it from the rockies. I use the term "stripped" because, frankly, it was out of disgust and utter disappointment. When the committee restored CapR the general feeling was that it would be for awhile. Sixteen days wasn't what we had in mind. The Chairman of the Designation Committee was actually thinking about taking a vacation since it seemed as though the rockies were cruising right along and there wouldn't be much business for the committee to tend to, but the rockies apparently had other ideas. So, the committee met this morning and the vote to repeal CapR was unanimously "yes". The rox still have a chance to avert complete disaster on this road trip with four in Houston against a team that isn't particularly good so far this season. They do, however, face Oswalt tonight whom they have typically struggled against, their last game against him notwithstanding. They'll also face Jennings, which will be interesting and strange. The optimism is rapidly waning and they need to come home on a positive note to keep the fan base interested.

Until next time, go rockies!
