Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save DENVER • Without the proper context of what’s been happening with these Rockies, who live next door to the edge, Sunday’s dramatics at Coors Field would seem like a one-off oddity.

Paul Klee: Was it a sign that Dodgers’ sweep of Rockies ended with Jon Gray warming up in the Coors Field bullpen?

Ramsey: Tracy believed in Rockies before winning streak
DENVER • A strange thing happened on our way to another pitiful Colorado baseball summer. The Rockies dumped Clint Hurdle and promoted Jim Tracy.
