Now that the Rockies' current road trip has reached its end, it's time for the Rockies to salve their wounds, return to Coors Field, and learn how to win again. At the same time, we're also preparing for a new Broncos season as rookies report to camp tomorrow. The dead period of summer sports is about to come to an end.
