The Yankees have scored a total of two runs in two games against the Colorado Rockies.

And they're playing at Coors Field.

Yeah, that's not going to get it done.

The Yanks dropped their second straight to the Rockies on Wednesday night, 6-1, as the offense continued to fizzle.  Colorado pitching combined for 11 K's and Andy Pettitte self-destructed in the later innings as the Bombers dropped 10 games behind the Red Sox in the AL East.

The Good:

Derek Jeter.  Jeter extended his hitting streak to 14 and also knocked in the lone Yankee run.  Jeter was also the only Yankee to collect multiple hits.  The Captain finished 2 for 4 and drove in his 34th run of the season.

The Bad:

Andy Pettitte.  Pettitte was nearly untouchable through the first five innings.  But, he stumbled in the 6th as he gave up a gargantuan homer to Matt Holliday that gave the Rockies a 2-1 lead.  Then Pettitte completely fell apart in the seventh.  He gave up three runs before being lifted with two outs in the seventh and Kaz Matsui on third.  Luis Vizcaino then completed Pettitte's ledger for the night as he allowed a base hit to make the score 6-1.  Pettitte fell to 4-5 on the year with this: 6.2 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 HR.

Bobby Abreu.  Abreu pulled off the hat trick as he whiffed three times and finished 0 for 4.  Abreu has cooled off in the last week.  In his last seven games, Abreu sports a .238 average with 0 HR and 0 RBI.

The Ugly:

Troy Tulowitzki's obsession.  During Wednesday night's broadcast on YES, Michael Kay talked about Tulowitzki's fascination with Derek Jeter.  Tulowitzki wears number 2 because of Jeter.  OK, nothing wrong with that.  Tulowitzki uses the same intro music that Jeter does.  Hmm, strange, but all right.  Tulowitzki bought Derek Jeter's cologne Driven for every member of the Colorado Rockies.  A-ha.  When the Rockies were at Fenway Park earlier this year, Tulowitzki asked the Red Sox clubhouse personnel if Jeter left anything behind that he could have.  What tha?  Things could get creepy if Tulowitzki bumps into Jeter during BP on Thursday.

Roger Clemens will try and salvage a game for the Yanks on Thursday afternoon.  It will be The Rocket's third straight start against a National League team since he returned in early June.  The Rockies will go for the sweep and will send Yankee-punching bag Rodrigo Lopez to the hill.  Lopez has pitched well for the Rockies and boasts a 3-0 record and an impressive 2.90 ERA this season.  However, Lopez is a former Baltimore Oriole and has had been roughed up by the Yanks in the past.  Some quick career numbers:

Derek Jeter vs. Lopez: .446, 4 HR, 11 RBI.

Alex Rodriguez vs. Lopez: .289, 4 HR, 10 RBI.

Melky Cabrera vs. Lopez:  .364, 1 HR, 2 RBI.

I'm looking for those three players (and more Yanks) to have big games on Thursday afternoon. 

After all, these are the New York Yankees and they are playing at Coors Field.

Aren't they?
