I went to see the Colorado Rockies play the Chicago Cubs last night at Coors Field, despite the rather boring game I witnessed the night before. The Rockies actually came out swinging, and won the game 13 to 4. Does that mean the Rockies are a really good team, or that the Cubs are really bad? As every baseball fan knows, even truly horrible teams can win a game now and then, especially against the dregs of the National League, and the Rockies are no exception. When you attend a Colorado Rockies game and they actually win, it is an added bonus, because these days you really only go for the Coors Field experience. It is the same with the Cubs. Cubs fans go to Wrigley Field to enjoy the setting, not the baseball. Until that changes, the owners of these respective clubs have no incentive to put a truly competitive team on the field. It is all about the bottom line these days. Sad, but true. Say it ain't so, Joe!
