Keeler: Dick Monfort just made miserable winter for Rockies fans even worse

I’d have what Dick Monfort is having, but it’d probably kill me.

“In ’08, with basically the exact same team (as in 2007), we won 74 games and lost 88,” the Rockies owner told the assembled at the Greeley Friends of Baseball breakfast Saturday, which included The Post’s Kyle Newman. “But like a great American hero, Forrest Gump, once said, ‘(Stuff) happens.’”

Monfort doubled down, likening the 91-loss Rox of now to the ones from a decade earlier. He waxed poetic on how a World Series team in 2007 had dipped to 74 wins the next year, then rebounded with 92 in 2009.
