Saunders vs. Newman: Will Rockies lose 100 games this season? Does it matter?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:23:58 GMT

At the all-star break, the Rockies are 34-57 and on pace to finish 61-101. Denver Post beat writers Patrick Saunders and Kyle Newman debate the importance of Colorado’s historically bad trajectory.Saunders: As you might guess, the idea of a 100-loss season is not a popular topic in the Rockies clubhouse. As someone said to me over the weekend in San Francisco, “Why do you keep writing that we’re on track for 100 losses? Do you really have to do that?” Well, given that the Rockies have never hit that dubious milestone, I think it’s newsworthy to track. And I don’t think it’s “piling on.” I see it as a measure of the state of the franchise. But I ask you Mr. Newman, will the Rockies lose 100 games for the first time? Does it matter if they do?Newman: Yes, this team will not only hit 100 losses — with easily the most depleted rotation in the National League, they might make a run at 105. Achieving franchise infamy will matter,...

Madonna, Jamie Foxx and Heather Locklear put on public displays of health and recovery

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:23:58 GMT

It’s probably a weird coincidence but Madonna, Jamie Foxx and Heather Locklear each holed up in public places over the weekend, perhaps expecting they’d be photographed looking healthy, mobile and lucid.To varying degrees, these three icons of American music, movies and TV probably feel pressure to counteract reports and gossip that they’ve been debilitated by dire medical issues, infections or relapses into addictive, out-of-control behavior.Starting with Madonna, the “Vogue” singer was photographed on Sunday walking around her Upper East Side neighborhood in New York and chatting with a friend, according to the Daily Mail and a video posted by TikToker Lauren Conlin. Only 11 days earlier, the 64-year-old pop legend was reportedly found unconscious in her home, due to a serous bacterial infection, supposedly revived with the drug Narcan for unknown reasons, and rushed to a hospital, where she was intubated and spent several days in the ICU.madonna out ...
