I should have used this one last week, but the Dropkick Murphys were just too good to pass up. And the year is still new, so I’m going to roll with it.
Classic U2 just absolutely rules. Don’t @ me.
And so, we turn to baseball.
The Colorado Rockies apparently took another week off, so there’s no real news to discuss. However, we were busy on Purple Row.
- So those rumors about a possible Rockies-Marlins trade? Kenneth Weber looked at the specifics.

- Joelle Milholm finished up the week by asking a key question: Do the Rockies have a veteran leadoff hitter already?
Since Blackmon seemed to have aged out of the leadoff spot in 2019, the Rockies have tried Raimel Tapia, Connor Joe, and Garrett Hampson in the role, as well as Blackmon again. Three of those players are gone and Blackmon is even older. So, who’s next? https://t.co/jcNHbxEwwh

I’m going to spend some time promoting Rockies on TikTok since baseball players appear to be migrating there. This week, let me recommend Brent Suter — you can follow his channel here.
