The Rockies, holding a narrow lead during the final dozen games of the NL wild-card race, go and lose the Giants — the worst team in the NL — on Tuesday. Milwaukee, who shut the Pirates out for second consecutive night, now trail the Rockies by only a single game. Mornings at 5280′ hosts Nate Lundy, Shawn Drotar, and T.J. Carpenter discuss the precarious situation that the team has put themselves in, and wonder if players are scoreboard-watching just a little too closely.
