Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks both had to work on Labor Day, but the Dbacks at least came away with a victory while the Rox got one game closer towards 100 losses.

DNVR Ranks is at full force and we need to determine if Todd Helton or Larry Walker had the better MVP-caliber season. Walker, the only current Hall of Famer in Colorado Rockies history, actually won the 1997 National League MVP.

Daniel Bard and Justin Lawrence go back-to-back on blown saves at Nationals Park as the Colorado Rockies lose the series to the Washington Nationals.

Colorado Rockies have the most explosive offense in Spring Training right thanks to the likes of Kris Bryant, Ryan McMahon, Zac Veen, Elias Díaz and Harold Castro.
