Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
The night after the Colorado Rockies were swept out of the World Series, the late-night comics started hitting the team out of the park. First Stephen Colbert took aim at the Rockies’ attempts to copyright “Rocktober,” and then David Letterman offered up his Top Ten Colorado Rockies Excuses:
10: “Even we’ve never heard of most of our players”
9. “Didn’t want game 5 to preempt House“
8. “Relax, there’s still a lot of baseball to be played”
7. “The curse of the Bambino?”
6. “At that altitude, the beer really knocks you on your ass”
5. No number 5 — writer preparing to go on strike
4. “Turns out our ‘flaxseed oil’ really was flaxseed oil”
3. “O.J. stole the equipment!”
2. “Manager distracted by Joe Torre walking around with his resume”
1. “Forget us — someone want to explain the Jets?” — Patricia Calhoun
