The Rockies are 22nd in The Sporting News' preseason rankings, two spots behind Los Angeles. These guys must be smokin' the good stuff to have eight teams below the Rox - oh, well... Arizona was the top-ranked National League West team, at fifth, with San Francisco 11th and San Diego 16th. The Sporting News believes the Rockies could be a sleeper (Zzzz). "With this kind of talent -- Hampton, Walker, Helton -- they should be better." The Yanks were ranked No. 1, followed by Atlanta, St. Louis and Seattle.

The Sporting News Power Poll (http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/poll/)

Notes:
Catcher Sal Fasano, who told the Rockies where to stuff a minor league contract, signed with Tampa Bay . . . Left-hander Scott Aldred, a member of the Rockies' original 25-man roster in 1993, signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers.

Yea, it's just a poll, but every stinkin' year the numbers win out. That's all this game is, really, is numbers - and they rarely lie. There are exceptions, of course, but I'm afraid the Rox aren't going to be one of them...they're goin' after Zeile, for cryin' out loud!
:uhoh: :crying2: :uhoh:

You're right, Jesse, but it's been a mess for some time. I'm not gonna let it bug me, though. I'll keep up with the Rockies and continue to be their biggest critic (as always), but this year I'm rootin' for the Rangers! Man, if that bunch of misfits can hang for the season, they'll deserve all the support they can get!

(Ha ha, I can't believe I used that stupid bawlin' smiley - even I know there's no crying in baseball, lol!)
