A little late, yes, but it’s Weekend Fourteener time:
1. And now, a word from a spoiled brat: “At the end of the meeting, he wasn’t like, ‘Jay, I want you as our quarterback, you’re our guy.’ It felt like the opposite. He basically said that I needed to tell him if we can’t work this out, [...]

The Colorado Rockies opened their Cactus League season with a 5-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday afternoon, and although nothing could possibly be less indicative of how a season will transpire than the first game of spring training, I still find myself bothered by the result.

“Too bad we couldn’t have this rotation last season.”
Anonymous Rockies player, to Troy E. Renck, 1/18/09.
