Fire whom?

The Denver Posts asks Rockies' ownership to bring back management for one more year, and then, maybe, fire itself.

I understand that some sarcasm is used in this piece in order to convey that ownership is as much as fault for the Rockies' losing ways as management is, but I can't stand it when people say ownership should be fired. It's not funny. It's stupid. Shut up and saddle yourself with the fact that some people own the means of production, and you're not one of them. Ownership has control. They'll run the team as they see fit. It is their prerogative to do with their team what they will. Denver Post, you're on the sideline, commenting, and hoping even your lamest columns stick.

Oh, and stop campaigning for Mark Cuban, too.

A deep-pocketed owner with a thirst for winning, and even the spotlight, could be king in this market.

This sort of stuff is for callers on talk radio shows, not opinion columns in a printed newspaper.

Stretch Impact: steals

Now hitting .229 after a another 1-for day (he's gone 1-for something for the past five games - a vast improvement over going 0-for something the previous handful of games), Emilio Bonifacio should remain on your radar. While he hasn't stolen a base since August 7th, Bonifacio hasn't given himself many chances in the past 10 days.

All he needs is an offensive hot streak, and he'll be burning up the basepaths again. Just check out his minor league numbers to see what damage he can do.

Twinkies on tap

Not your typical fundraiser in Minneapolis. What do you tip a MLB-playing waiter, anyway? 15%? 20%?

Do they need a tip?
