Kickin’ It with Kiz: Could financial windfall from the All-Star Game keep Trevor Story in a Rockies uniform?
Maybe Rockies owner Dick Monfort will make enough money from the All-Star Game to keep shortstop Trevor Story and not whine about the cost. — L.M., Littleton Kiz : Even if Monfort wanted to break his piggy bank, I’m not certain this story will have a happy ending in Colorado. Free to leave the Rockies when his contract expires at season’s end, why would Story want to continue playing for a team that’s not committed to winning? Sitting in my local pizza joint, imploring beer guzzlers around me to boycott any business owned by Monfort, I learned I was preaching to the choir. There were 12 baseball fans at the bar. All 12 wanted to see Monfort lose. Seven were Rockies fans bent on doing their part to push Monfort to the poor house. The other five were fans of other major-league teams that find it boring to play the minor-league Rox. Boycotting the players was not the vibe, but not paying Monfort another nickel sure as heck was. — C.B, Northglenn Kiz : Homefield … [Read more...] about Kickin’ It with Kiz: Could financial windfall from the All-Star Game keep Trevor Story in a Rockies uniform?

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The brain of Phillip Adams — the former NFL player who killed a South Carolina physician, three family members and a repairman before fatally shooting himself — will be tested for a degenerative disease that has affected a number of pro athletes and has been shown to cause violent mood swings and other cognitive disorders, according to the local coroner.

Tampa Bay also eliminated the Yankees from last year’s playoffs in a five-game series that went the distance. Six Tampa Bay pitchers combined to limit the Yankees to five hits, with an injury-riddled bullpen delivering a strong performance after starter Chris Archer departed with a forearm injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list. “Any time you shut out a team in major league baseball, it’s saying something,” manager Kevin Cash said. “When you do it in that fashion against that lineup, it’s really saying something.” Meadows got … [Read more...] about Yankees Fall To AL Champ Rays
