Isn't THAT the family squabble, JC? Do we have a good owner? I say NO. You say Tomato.

Were you thrilled that Monfort could only find a way to sign Holliday to a 2 YEAR contract? I wanted him to be a lifetime Rockie. Matt is the heart and sole of the team. WE are sure of only 2 more years?

Granted Helton's contract crippled us as a team for years. Maybe Monfort shouldn't have given him money that he didn't have? Why doesn't he take a page from George W. Bush's playbook and just borrow money from Communist China or Saudi Arabia, and use that borrowed money to pay for Holliday? Let Monfort's grandchildren pay it back! We have an owner who can't afford to play in a rich man's game. Sure we lucked into the World Series once. What a great 21 game SURGE. Who can forget it? It was like a dream. Who plans on that happening again. My name is Newman, not Pollyanna.

I agree with Heltonfan. Yorvit???

Affeldt is gone. Who's our lefty specialist that we worry about now whenever he takes the bump??

Other teams get better. Other teams in our division have young studs like Tulo as well. There's no guarantee we will be back and win the NL West, errrrrrrr NL WILD CARD, again. Are we favorite to win the division according to Baseball America or Baseball Prospectus or John Cocktoston?

I don't get into baseball mood until the weather warms (59 in Colorado today, global climate change?) and pitchers and catchers report. Right now the political race in both parties is far more interesting and WE actually have something to say and do about it by going to the caucus on Feb 5.
