The Rockies season is coming to a close at home, mercifully. According to the Denver Post, Aaron Cook will start today's game at Coors Field and close out the season in Denver. It seemed as though this day would never come, with losses resulting far more frequently than wins. For the Rockies to finish with a losing record at home requires at list of things which would be too long to mention on this forum. Injuries are by far the most detrimental to most teams and the Rockies have received their share of them, maybe a little too often.

Aaron Cook is by far the longest tenured Rockies pitcher and will look to go out on top. Despite his struggles this season, Cook is one of the most accomplished pitchers to call Denver home and will be missed if he decides to move on next season. While fans would have liked greater results from the veteran pitcher this year, it's hard to ignore his accomplishments over the years and his stellar performance in the All-Star game just two years ago. Cook has been one of the most stable pitchers in the rotation over the last handful of years and should not be forgotten. It would be great to see Aaron Cook win the last game of the season at Coors Field.

The last home game may not be as important as most players or fans would have liked but we can hope for a better outcome next season. Not only can we hope for next season, we will get another look at the future of the team with today's lineup. Promising players such as Jordan Pacheco, Willin Rosario, Tommy Field and Eric Young Jr. could make an appearance today and give fans a taste of what to expect on the horizon.

What do you think fans? Is there anyone else you would like to see before the season is over?
