Denver Post

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.

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 Colorado Rockies are, as of 8:52 a.m. Mountain, a little over an hour before the start of a double-header against the New York Mets, 8-2 and own the best record in baseball. If you read only ESPN.com, you wouldn't know it. If you read only the Denver Post you might think the Rockies have already clinched a playoff spot. It's a good start for a number of reasons that deserves to be noticed, but within reason.

Out at the ballpark over the weekend, was reminded that not all Denver sports fans really get into baseball until later in the season, something I blame (as I blame everything) on the Denver Post. Meanwhile, finally caught up on some movies and watched a couple good ones.

It's Opening Day for the Colorado Rockies and I'll enjoy it the way I usually prefer, from the comfort of my living room with a bowl of popcorn and I'll hit the ballpark over the weekend when those who won't pay attention again to June are no longer crowding in. Meanwhile, as far as baseball previews go, the Denver Post did a good job of telling me not only what I already know, but what even most of those same casual fans crowding in to the ballpark today already know, too. And good for Ty Wigginton.
