Last night’s Mets game reminded me of nothing so much as the fight scene in Anchorman: “Boy, that escalated quickly . . . I mean, that really got out of hand fast.” Such is life in Coors Field, even in these post-humidor days. For a team that had picked itself up and started cruising again, the All-Star Break can’t come fast enough for this pitching staff.
UPDATE: What humidor? The Rockies as a team are batting .284/.444/.358 at home, .259/.383/.333 on the road. Look at the regular lineup (source):
