With the Rockies reeling through May, it's become next to impossible that a playoff run is in the cards for later this season.

The nightmare at the ballpark is keeping Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki awake at night.

My sources tell me that things are especially steamy in Ohio this afternoon, with the distinct possibility that the heat index will exceed 100 degrees.

If the Rockies make a remarkable U-turn, as players staunchly believe ever since the pixie dust days of 2007 and 2009, then Marco Scutaro's clumsy start as their leadoff hitter might become a faded memory.

May 8, 2012; San Diego, CA, USA; Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Alex White pitches against the San Diego Padres during the first inning at PETCO Park.

Bags under his eyes, his conversational tone absent, manager Jim Tracy sat in the first seat in the dugout Tuesday.

With one swing, Giancarlo Stanton knocked out lights on the scoreboard, spoiled Jamie Moyer's first look at Marlins Park and put Miami on top to stay.. Stanton hit a grand slam off Moyer to cap a five-run fourth inning, Mark Buehrle was dominant after a shaky first and the Marlins stayed hot by beating the Colorado Rockies 7-4 on Monday night.

Through 40 games, the 2012 Rockies have been an abomination. They now sit at 15-25, ten games under .500, and are on pace to finish a disgraceful 61-101 - A mark that would easily be the worst in franchise history falling six games short of the dreadful 67-95 record both the 1993 expansion team and 2005 complete rebuild team posted.

Miami Marlins newcomer Mark Buehrle is unbeaten in his last three starts and gets the nod again tonight in the opener of a three-game series versus the Colorado Rockies.

The Rockies just got swept by the Mariners . Basically, the way their pitching staff is throwing right now is akin to if Henry Rowengartner would have continued pitching after his arm went back to normal at the end of the Academy Award-winning film Rookie of the Year .

Jesus Montero and Justin Smoak hit back-to-back home runs, Blake Beavan tied a season-high with seven strikeouts and the Seattle Mariners held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.

And this is what I was afraid of: that we would find ourselves on a Sunday afternoon, a time of the week when games are notoriously difficult to win anyway, and be looking at the business end of a sweep.

As has been noted multiple times in the past, the 2012 Brewers ' slow start is not unprecedented.

ROCKIES FOURTH: Another 1-2-3 inning for Millwood, albeit with a rocket at third baseman Kyle Seager by leadoff man Jordan Pacheco.

The Rockies center fielder hit a run-scoring triple in the second inning, drew a walk in the fourth, then brought home another run with an RBI walk in the eighth.

It isn't always easy. The runs don't always come right away, the bullpen doesn't always hold the lead, the normally sure-handed defense doesn't always snag the balls.

The Rockies offense has shown some signs of revival this past week, but there's still a lingering question of how lasting this uptick will be when the team returns to the road again.
