Rockies make brutal MLB history not seen in 60 years as moribund season wraps up

The Colorado Rockies could lose every game for the rest of the season and still finish 14 games better than last season.

The bad news? If that happens, they will finish with 105 losses.

On Tuesday, the Rockies clinched their fourth straight season with 100 or more losses with their 7-2 defeat against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field.

They are the first team since the expansion New York Mets from 1962-65 to achieve the dubious feat and just the fifth to do it overall.

So while they will improve by at least 14 games, and maybe more if they finish strong, the season will go down in the books as another disappointing one.

First-year manager Warren Schaeffer said the team has to learn from the experience.

"This is not easy.

Last year, we talked about it at the end of the year, how we want to feel this and never feel it again and remember it and hold on to it.

The guys have done that.

We’ve just lost 100 again.

There are a ton of lessons to learn from it.

If we don’t learn these lessons from these games this year, we won’t get better." The moribund Rockies have struggled mightily for over a decade and a half now.

They have made the postseason just twice since 2010, and have not won a postseason series since reaching the World Series in 2007.
