Sports Columnists | Grading The Week: Dang it, Dinger! Even MLB players say Rockies are stuck in “stone age”

Trust a team with Dick Monfort in charge and a dinosaur for a mascot to get accused of being stuck in the Stone Age.

Full disclosure: The kids upstairs in The Grading The Week cubicles are a heck of a lot better at Strat-O-Matic than they ever were at hitting a curveball. A few of them were reading Bill James in middle school, even. We were nerds, OK? N-E-R-D-S. All caps. Sue us.

Although a funny thing happened in baseball at the start of the 21st century: those same nerds started to rule America’s Pastime.

Yeah, sure, the largest payrolls usually win out, same as in big-time soccer in Europe.
