In all honesty, I am rooting for the Rockies to lose every night. I can’t think of a better way to spur meaningful organizational change, other than a Daniel Snyder type of scandal at the ownership level.

– J.P., jilted baseball-lover

Kiz: So you’re the one guy in our dusty old cowtown who’s ecstatic with the Rockies. After an 8-2 loss Saturday to the New York Mets, Colorado will finish May a stupefying 40 games under .500. At 9-49 in the standings, your Rox Bottoms are on pace to lose 137 games.

We root for the Rockies to fire interim manager Warren Schaeffer and the entire coaching staff. We also root for the Rockies to finally trade pitchers German Marquez and no-talent Kyle Freeland.

– Daniel, Denver

Kiz: You can’t spell Schaeffer without two F’s. Since taking on the worst job in sports, he has lost 16 of 18 games as skipper of this sinking ship. That’s an abysmal failure. Way back in 1964, when the hapless Broncos finished with a 2-11-1 record, they were coached by Jack Faulkner and Mac Speedie. It seems to me the Rockies could one-up that futility by not only losing 125 games, but also firing Bud Black and Schaeffer, then forcing Clint Hurdle to be their third manager in this lost season.

How worried should Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs be when looking at the Broncos in the rearview mirror? On a scale of 1-10, I think it’s an eight. Why? The Broncos have closed a lot of the talent gap the last two years, although Kansas City’s Steve Spagnuolo is a better defensive coordinator than Vance Joseph.

Kiz: So many Broncomaniacs are on such a Rocky Mountain high that I fear they might trip and fall. While Denver could be very good, this team could also pack a 1-4 record with it when hopping a flight to London in early October.

Well, considering our defense beat the hell out of the Chiefs last year and got even better this offseason, Kansas City should be worried about our offense taking the next step and slamming the door on the close games we will have for the next two or three years.

– Jay, Omaha, Neb.

Kiz: OK, while the level of spring euphoria in Broncos Country does have me a little worried, let me also add: The hangover from getting hammered in the Super Bowl might linger all season long for the Chiefs.

And today’s parting shot explains why our hapless major-league baseball team was cursed from Day One.

Hey, Kiz! Can we agree that the two worst professional sports franchises in the history of our fine state are the Colorado Rockies … and the Colorado Rockies? Whether you’re talking about the long-gone NHL franchise or the current excuse for a major-league baseball team, the problems are the same: uncommitted ownership, inept management, stupid trades and chronic losing. I still can’t believe that a decade after the Rockies hockey embarrassment snuck off to New Jersey, we decided it was a good idea to also name our National League expansion team the Rockies. Things would be different in LoDo, I’m quite sure, if they were known at the Denver Bears.
