At the end of this month, the cockroaches need to go.
Set the poison bait, get a bunch of Raid and spray the “cucarachas” out of the Rockies’ lexicon. Colorado took up an identity with the interminable pest as its season went off the rails, becoming the ‘cucarachas’, a gross metaphor for the team’s resilience amid all the losing and naysayers.
The team’s less-established players donned cockroach costumes for the flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco on Sunday night, so the concept doesn’t appear to be falling out of fashion late in the season.
