You can't just take two months out of a season and then point to the remainder and say "that's the real team right there." If you can do that, then I can just as easily take July and August out and say that the real Rockies were a .570 team. Heck, I don't even need two months... all I have to do is take two weeks out of the season--June 21-July 5--and they're 84-64, 20 games over .500.

And they were 54-52 after the first two months. They only had one losing month the entire season, and that was August when they were 12-15 (in July they were 12-12).
