This has very much flown out the window in the last few years as sound bites have joined forces with a 280 character-limit causing society to lose all ability to decipher what anything means in the greater sense. As such, it feels like a good time to attempt to uncover it all for Brendan Rodgers and put…...

The Colorado Rockies did not play an altogether poor baseball game against the Texas Rangers on Opening Day, July 24, 2020. They pitched incredibly well. They played fantastic defense.

Following a disappointing 1999 season, the Colorado Rockies were set to undergo a seismic shift. Having already traded Ellis Burks in the summer of ’98, Dante Bichette was next to be dealt away in late October to the Cincinnati Reds; finally, Vinny Castilla was shipped to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
