Journalism

A few hours after midnight on January 1 this year — I was far too tired for anything so dramatic as the stroke of midnight between 2011 and 2012 — InsideTheRockies.com, one of the first projects for America's Fish, was locked down. For the first baseball season since 1996, I will be merely a fan in 2012.

Over the weekend a Denver Post sports reporter speculated on Twitter that the Colorado Rockies were close to calling up first baseman Mike Jacobs from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Turns out Jacobs was actually being released after a positive HGH test. Oops.

A project kept us here at America's Fish up until 3 in the morning, but to occupy the time we put in a good movie and listened to the rain fall on the roof and, unfortunately, through the roof.

You can take the journalist newsroom but you can't make him stop complaining about how other people do their job, or how the mainstream news media picked an unfortunate time to be responsible. Meanwhile, the Rockies had a blah weekend and we here at America's Fish are excited to working with Great Education Colorado.

The Winklevoss twins and unpaid contributors to the Huffington Post dodge responsibility for their own stupid decisions and continue their fights to collect what they should have demanded in the first place, while the Texas Rangers' Josh Hamilton slides headfirst out of the lineup for two months and a writer in Pennsylvania takes this personal responsibility debate too far.
