So, how bad is it that my irritation with the Rockies current performance has me more interested in linking stories about the travels of the plush mascot rather than anything having to do with the on-field play of the team? At least Dinger gets the escape, which is good, because I hear the Rockies recent collapse has been hard on him, with rumors swirling that the Sterling trip is just a cover so he can check himself into rehab.

At any rate, I don't know if a trip to Eastern Colorado would do the Rockies much good, as I'm pretty sure that the Northeast Junior College Plainsmen could give the Rox a scare at this point.

Too many outs, not enough pop, peeps.
