I’ve been telling people for a few weeks that the Rockies would get to Wrigley Field with fewer than 10 wins. By losing their series finale to the Yankees at home Sunday, they accomplished that — they’re 9-44.
Also, that Sunday series finale had a rain delay of over two hours, so the Rockies didn’t arrive at their Chicago hotel until around midnight.
