BALTIMORE — Will the Rockies lose 100 games for the first time in franchise history? Does it even matter?The math is simple but the issue is not.To avoid 100 losses, the Rockies, with a 48-80 record through Friday night, must win at least 15 of their final 34 games. That’s no easy task for a team that entered Saturday night’s game against the Orioles riding a five-game losing streak. Of the Rockies’ remaining eight opponents, only one, the Padres, has a losing record.Since 1961 when the American League adopted the expanded schedule, and 1962 when the National League followed suit, only six teams have never lost 100 games: the Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, Angels, Yankees and Rockies.OK, enough with the simple math. The trickier part of the equation is whether or not a 100-loss season is a big deal; something to be ashamed of, something to avoid like the plague.“It doesn’t matter,” said Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. “Whether we lost 98 ...Publicist says popular game show host Bob Barker has died
