The Rockies might be more embarassing than Sox

He's cheddar headed.

We just lived through two seasons of the drunken corpse of TLR.  How can anyone say any other team is more embarrassing that this org?

This is embarrassing lol I again ask, is Hahn somehow related to Jerry, even if he is one of Jerry's buddy's kids?

The dude has to have pictures showing JR with the maid or something

dead girl or live boy i think, was the standard 20 years ago.

Hold that thought on who is more embarrassing!

Tonight if the Rockies win and the Sox lose, the Rockies will have a better record than the Sox.

Your beloved Sox will take over 3rd place.

Race for worst three teams

A's - 28-74

Royals - 29-73

Rockies - 40-60

White Sox - 41-60

Nationals - 41-59

Even the Royals have a plan to rebuild excitement in fanbase with $1 billion in private investment...new stadium/entertainment district.

I really wish baseball teams weren't also real estate developers and that city governments didn't encourage turning their municipalities into amusement parks for perpetual-toddler professional/managerial types. "Meaningful development" he says, what nonsense. Meaningful for who? I mean, I get that there's no longer tax revenue outside of real estate or tourism, but c'mon, maybe you could encourage businesses to create a product and employ people and do something sustainable rather than spend public money to subsidize developers building condos and restaurants and PUD's and brag about "creating jobs" via minimum wage part-time Starbucks and Chipotle employees. The only good jobs that come out of this are construction ones and those are temporary. 

We see this fun inversion where cities are now playgrounds for well-off 'consultants' who want to spend $300 a night playing arcade games and bowling and drinking ginseng lavender cocktails who then go home to their $3000 a month 1 bedroom apartments; while the collar suburbs (south and west ones) are now basically just a place to stick the working class who don't want to live around crime and pay $600,000 for a home (check out home prices for new construction in Grand Boulevard and Douglas). 

New York and LA figured out how to displace the poor in this way, it's a little harder in Chicago -- and you see the reaction to this whenever you go downtown on a weekend night. They're actually trying to do this to Englewood, Auburn-Gresham etc and wasting tons of public money building these ghost towns (see: INVEST South/West...maybe the new mayor will cancel that but I doubt it). It makes GDP look good and appeals to bond credit agencies like Moody's but basically just creates more poverty and crime. It's a strategy that will only work in the lakeshore area connecting the Loop to Hyde Park. Kansas City is in an even worse position than Chicago to encourage this kind of development.

 

Kind of long-winded and pointless post but, on topic, the Rockies scoreboard guy seems like an idiot who should try his hand at second city.

Wednesday night brawl in Suites.

Please end these interleague games which cater to the lowest common denominator.

After the video incident one guy was jumped by two others in the bathroom and was hospitalized.

However, another incident reportedly occurred with one supporter, known as Mai Tai Guy on Twitter, claimed he had been ganged up on in the bathroom during the game and had to be taken to hospital. 

He shared a photo to the social media platform showing blood on his shoes, legs and glove. 

Where is Jerry when you really need him? More importantly, where is Steve and other security?

Lmaooooooo end inter league because of this?  GTFOH

I’m sure this is all a symptom of the apathy towards this franchise. Nobody is buying tickets anymore, so they’re likely offering these seats at a lower price. And that results in, how shall we say, a lower class of spectators showing up to the game.
