ESPN – Papelbon’s pregnant wife reportedly felt threatened

ESPN – Papelbon’s pregnant wife reportedly felt threatened – MLB.

I just want to say this is taking a rivalry too far.  You kid, you taunt, you trade barbs, but you never, ever phsically threaten a player or his family.  This just shows how classless the New York fans are.

The Red Sox-Yankee rivalry is a great thing for Major League Baseball, but when people threaten another player on the opposite team, give me a break.

This rivalry doesn’t need any more fuel on this fire and the media in New York should be ashamed.  But the people who should be more ashamed are the people who threatened a pregnant women.

Rockies Tickets, anyone?

Rockies tickets, anyone?

This is a great opinion column in today’s Rocky Mountain News that addresses the ethics of what the Rockies did and how the Rockies handled distributed tickets.

From a business and public relations standpoint, the Rockies messed up.  They limited the tickets to a few who could get in to the computer system.  It created a lot of unhappy people.

From what I understand what happened, once people got in to purchase tickets, they could stay in there and purchase tickets.  This alienated many of the Rockies fans who for some reason were unable to get in. Continue reading

Congrats to the Red Sox

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox on winning the 2007 World Series.

They played the best baseball throughout this Series and deserved to win.

The Colorado Rockies had a wonderful season and fought to the end.  I think this is only the beginning of a wonderful run for the Colorado Rockies.  They have good base of players, a good minor league system, and a good future.

See you in April.  Go Rockies!

World Series Game 4 not going well…

Well Aaron Cook has done what he has had to do in the game so far.  He has kept the Boston Red Sox in check and has given up only two runs.

The problem is that he has no run support.  The Rockies had lead-off hitters at second with no outs a couple of times, but they have not been able to get them home.

The bats need to awaken and the Rockies hitters need to relax.

Let’s go Rockies!

Getting Ready for Game Four of the World Series

It is now time for the Rockies to get going and win a game in the World Series, or it will be time to go home.

The Rockies offense began to wake-up in game 3, but the pitching has still be abysmal.   They will need an all-out-effort tonight to have any chance to be the Red Sox.

Let’s have a good game.  Go Rockies!
