First, the Rockies. My parents grew up in Denver. I loved the Rockies, mountains that is.
My dad saw Satchel Paige, he told me, on a barnstorming tour through Denver. His dad took him to the game. I didn’t know dad’s dad. (Wait, this isn’t about me…)

The Rockies got a baseball team about the time I was finding myself on the pucky end of a long marriage. They had great fans and were a joke.

Right up until the humidor.

Why is it that ‘roids, which didn’t bring a championship to any club that had a chronic user, are bad. But humidors are o.k.?

All of the inequities in baseball parks in years past are suddenly irrelevant in the present.

Maybe that guy who wanted to nuke the moon to make the climate pleasant all over the earth was onto something? (I think not; I think that guy’s an idiot, like I think guys who mess with MY game, baseball, are idiots. It’s not fair, never been fair….check it out. That’s why we like it. The very inequity of it is a draw. We like to see guys play well no matter what the odds.)

Anyway, the Rockies are a fluke. That’s my opinion. An interesting one, but a fluke.

Which brings me to that other fluke: the Yankees.

AROD I mean. Well, they aren’t together anymore…so we have to treat them separately. What a bunch of rich losers!

So, that brings us to the next dynasty in the making and why it won’t be a dynasty: Red Sox Nation.

It won’t be a dynasty because the Red Sox won’t ever play the Rockies again in the World Series.

They will play teams that are better than they are…and they will lose. The Rockies weren’t the better team, despite what their owner said.

AROD is simply the best individual fantasy player on earth….bar none.

It’s too bad he has to actually play baseball for a TEAM. Any team who gets AROD, beware. He’s a rich loser. Once a Yankee, always a Yankee. And Yankees have been rich losers ever since me and Podres and Amoros jinxed ‘em back in 1955.

And one other thing, the QB from South Florida runs the ball too much. What, they don’t have halfbacks like we did back in the day?

Now, it’s basketball season…and I’m fielding a bunch of teams on ESPN again.

I like these guys….

Now about the guy who makes all the noise at the Tampa baseball team’s homegames. (I forget their name) Let’s drown him out next season, Tampa Bay!

We’ve got a pretty good team happening here! All we need is a humidor that works the other way….?
