On a more positive note, if the Rockies were in the NL East, they'd be in 2nd only a game and a half behind the Nationals, and if they were in the NL Central, they'd be in 1st, 2 games ahead of Milwaukee.  And if the season ended today, the Rockies would have the 2nd wild card into the playoffs, with a 6.5 game lead over the Cubs.  They're only 3 games behind the Dbacks for the 1st wildcard spot.
