Today, on the "Jim Rome" Show, Eric Byrnes called in to blast Rockies fans for jeering him during the Rockies/Arizona series and for "Jim Rome" agreeing with them. Eric was animated and very emotional on the show. He said that the Rockie fans were crybabies! Eric,"The Rockies should be thanking me"! He went on to say,"we played better than the Rockies in the first 2 games"."We were better ,they were lucky!". Rome quickly replied " then how did they beat you in 4?" To that question, Eric stuttered and said "they were better, I guess"! What is wrong with this guy? Not the brightest light bulb in Arizona! Jim than gave Rockies fans the opportunity to call in to thank Eric! Many of the callers basically called him (Eric) a loser and a comedy act! Eric then went on to say the Rockies atmosphere sucked, until the last week of the season! Eric would not stop! He went on ranting about how the Rockies owed him for saying what he said and could not understand why they were unappreciative! At one point during the interview, a Rockies fan said ," how is your pie hole after smacking into first base?",Eric Byrnes remarked "bring it on, I like that!".Jim Rome excitedly interjected, " this is great"! If you missed it,it was classic!
It's FUBAR!

This whole Rockies ticket conundrum is making Colorado the laughing stock of the world! If the Rockies and the MLB were being straight with the Colorado fan based from the beginning , this would have never turned into such a fiasco! Deciding only on profits and ignoring fan base was a pompous act! The server will probably end up crashing again. If not, it will be very interesting to know who got tickets. Where are they from and if they were affiliated, somehow , with the MLB or the major brokers! As for folks who say ,that we Rocky fans are on the bandwagon, I say foul. Do any of you root for losers at home ,work or any where else? Everyone loves a winner! People don't roort for losers!! "it is what it is". As for season ticket holders, nothing against them ,but most people cannot afford season tickets! The more affluent you are than the more likely you will have season tickets. This was the only opportunity an everyday fan would have an equal chance at an event and The Rockies management and the MLB denied that chance! Shame on you! I don't buy your excuse!!!!
