MLB Baseball Rule is bad, Manny Ramirez shouldn’t be allowed to play until suspension is up
Manny Ramirez should still be sitting somewhere other than a ballpark. He was suspended back in May for 50 games and shouldn’t be playing again until July 3.
But Manny is making the rehabilitation tour and it began this week in Albuquerque. He is now making the move to the Dodgers’ High A team.
I would have to agree with Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News who says that ESPN and others shouldn’t be celebrating Ramirez’s return. He says it best, “Only in the twisted world of Major League Baseball could a serious suspension be turned into a nationally televised victory lap with a financial upside.”
Manny should be sitting and not able to go back to a minor league team to get ready for the big leagues until the 50 games are up. He shouldn’t even be able to practice at the teams stadium like Manny has been doing.
If this were a minor leaguer, they wouldn’t be able to get a rehab assignment.
MLB, clean up this loophole and clean up the game. We don’t need to be celebrating what Manny Ramirez did.
Major League Baseball and Colorado Rockies need to improve their online ticketing
I just want to say that Major League Baseball and the Colorado Rockies need to improve thier online ticketing.
The ticketing process is timing out so I am unable to purchase tickets. I want to give them money, but their processes are preventing that from happening.
What is happening is that I am choosing tickets, but I don’t like where they put me. So I release the tickets and try again. When I try to get back in, the site times out. I can’t get tickets.
This happened to me yesterday. I was trying to get tickets and I ended up having to go to the game and wait 45 minutes in line to get tickets.
It is quite frustrating and I wish they would improve it so this stops happening.
Newsweek Report on Top 1500 High Schools is Flawed
Newsweek just released their annual report on the 1500 Top High Schools. However, the report is flawed.
The reason it is flawed is that it doesn’t include private and/or religious schools. The title of the report, as quoted, is: “The Top of the Class, the complete list of the 1,500 top U.S. high schools.
It is not till you get to the body of the story that you learn it is public high schools, including charter schools.
I think Newsweek should get on the ball and correct this error and better identify it as a Public High Schools or begin to include private or religious schools.
Colorado Congressional Delegation shouldn’t take Army for granted over Piñon Canyon
In today’s edition of the Denver Post Representative Mike Coffman nailed it when he said that Democrats in the Colorado delegation are taking the U.S. Army for granted.
In the article, GOP lawmaker raises stakes in Piñon battle, Coffman states that “the legislation being prepared by Colorado Democrats to permanently prohibit the expansion of the Army’s Piñon Canyon training area would severely undermine the future of Fort Carson, setting off a devastating economic ripple effect in the southern part of the state.”
What people, especially Congress, doesn’t fully understand is that U.S. Army and the military is a tremendous economic force and driver in southern Colorado and throughout the state. Do people really believe that if Fort Carson is no longer, will Peterson Air Force Base remain? The two are dependent on each other.
If you don’t think so, look what happened to the miliary in the San Francisco-Bay Area. Read more
To the person complaining about our dog barking…
Just come talk to us.
You don’t need to call and complain to the homeowner’s association, you don’t need to call and complain to the police. Just come speak with us.
Oh, the time you called and complained to the police? The dog would have been inside.
Just come talk to us. The dog is just a puppy and we are working with her on the barking. And she doesn’t bark that much, not more than any other dog.
To the City of Westminster, the dog is just barely old enough to have a license and we just got her spayed. We are in the process of submitting the application for a license.
What is up with the NBA?
The playoffs this year is the prime example of why I have lost interest in the NBA.
The officiating is poor, the players act like babies, the schedule is all over the place, and the games have devolved into professional wrestling matches.
For example, the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks last played on Tuesday. Under a normal schedule the two should be playing tonight, but no. They won’t play until Saturday. How does that help with the flow of a series? It doesn’t.
The officials are just concerned with protecting their star players. Take a look at what Kobe did last night. He threw an elbow into the chest of Ron Artest, but was he called for a foul? NO!
Artest was called for something, but I don’t think he fouled Bryant. Then Artest gets tossed.
The players are fighting, hitting, etc. This is not basketball. The Magic – Celtics game is a perfect example last night when one of the players slapped another across the head.
The NBA needs to improve their image or they will continue to lose more fans and more money.
