NL West Report: All Tied Up in Knots - Purple Row
I would like to know how they come up with this shit? My head is spinning.

Yeah Rockies!!!
First grand slam of the season by Stewart, plus he got another HR in the 3rd. De La Rosa pitched well, all around great game!
ROCKIES SWEEP!
The Rockies sweep the Cardinals in one of the most exciting series of the season. 2 awesome comebacks, and then today’s game we led the entire time. All this while having some of our best players still on the DL (Tulo, Helton, EY, De La Rosa, Daley).
The Rockies are unstoppable, and now currently in 2nd place in the NL West, just 3 games back. Jimenez just got his 15th win, and we are about to go into a 3 game series against the Padres (from whom we are 3 games back). De La Rosa is off the DL and pitching tomorrow, so we’ll see how his recovery went.
The Padres have a great record in the MLB, but their record in the NL West is just 15-13, while Colorado is 19-15 with their record against the Padres being 6-3.
Now I’m not saying we’re the best team in the world (yes I am), but I’m saying we are overcoming some serious obstacles and still coming out on top.
Let’s keep the momentum and get some more wins!
