The Rockies are rolling toward baseball history, destined to be celebrated forever as the best damn 115-loss team that you, me or the major leagues has ever seen.

We will forget for the moment that Kris “With a K” Bryant is being paid $4.5 million for each of his six hits this season or that franchise owner Dick Monfort was born on third base but can’t find his way home.

Instead, we will stand and applaud these Rockies, as maybe 33 percent of the 40,264 paying customers in Coors Field did, for doing the Lord’s work on Sunday.

With a walk-off triple in the ninth inning, Colorado outfielder Mickey Moniak made Cubs fans cry themselves a Chicago River of tears.

“That’s definitely what we’re in the business for: quieting the other crowd,” Moniak said, after delivering the game-winning hit with a frozen rope down the right-field line to give Colorado a 6-5 victory.

Baseball was invented for Cubs fans to cry in their Old Style beer.

So, after LoDo was turned into Wrigleyville West this weekend, it felt good to see our lowly Roxbottoms rise up to win once in this three-game series and share a little misery with the Cubbies.

Yes, we’re well versed in the Monfort business model that lines his wallet by welcoming a city of transplants into his ballpark and making their past allegiances to the Cardinals, Dodgers or Yankees feel at home.

But as a child of the 1960s who happily wasted many summer afternoons cracking peanut shells at Wrigley Field while watching Ron Santo, something about the annual takeover at 20th and Blake by Cubbies faithful makes me want to tell them all to go back to their beloved bone-chilling winters of lake effect snow from whence they came.

It makes the habitually bad baseball played by the Rockies feel like an insult hurled by folks that roll into LoDo by the thousands to root, root, root for the Cubbies, then call Denver a dump on their drive back down the highway to Highlands Ranch.

When Chicago outfielder Ian Happ crushed a three-run home run 429 feet to center field off Colorado reliever Luis Peralta to tie the score at 5-5 in the eighth inning, Coors erupted with so much Cubbies clatter that it shook Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray in their graves.

“I enjoy it. Fans are going to voice their opinions. They’re going to be loud and try to do everything to help their team win. Our fans are going to do the same,” Moniak said. “It’s part of the game. Without the fans, there’s no baseball. And I don’t have a job.”

But make no mistake.

The Rockies do notice, and sometimes get irked, when they are made to feel like visitors in their home ballpark.

“We’re going out there, trying to hit the other team in the mouth,” Colorado catcher Braxton Fulford said.

“It is what it is. (The Cubs) have a good following around the country. But we’re not going to lay down for anybody.”

As a lifelong resident of the gray Midwest, my father lived to be 80 years old and never saw his beloved Cubs win a World Series. That they finally took home the championship trophy to the north side of Chicago in 2016 gives us hope that even a franchise as chronically mismanaged as the Rockies can do the same some distant year in the future, although probably too late for anyone reading these words to enjoy it.

So please spare me the everybody-gets-a-popsicle nonsense that just because Colorado has won 30 percent of its games since the Fourth of July it demonstrates anywhere near meaningful progress that would merit general manager Bill Schmidt saving his job.

But I’m happy when die-hard Colorado baseball fans have any reason to smile. After a season as painful to watch as Sisyphus endlessly pushing a boulder up a hill, it was nice to see the Rockies get a little Labor Day weekend reward for their effort.

In the end, long-suffering Rockies die-hards roared loud enough to drown out 70 percent of the fans in the stands.

Walking off the Cubs on the final day of August is as close to a jolt of playoff juice as this Colorado team will get to enjoy.

“You hear people talk about going to the playoffs,” Moniak said. “And I’ve never heard someone say the playoffs were enjoyable because it was quiet. I think they say (October is) enjoyable because it’s extra loud.”

Thanks to the ninth-inning heroics of Moniak, your Rox Bottoms will enter September stuck on 98 defeats.

They will avoid the infamy of Casey Stengel’s 1962 Amazin’ Mets or the record ineptitude of the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.

In a city where being bad at baseball means never having to say you’re sorry, the Rockies are going to be remembered as the best damn 115-loss team in the history of the major leagues.

So, they’ve got that going for them.

Which is nice.
