    Didn't see this posted anywhere.

    Rockies owner says 'maybe Denver doesn't deserve a franchise'
    Somehow Rockies owner Dick Monfort has taken things from bad to worse. Just two days after news broke that he told a frustrated fan "if product and experience are that bad, don't come," an email exchange with another fan has surfaced with even more damning quotes.

    The emails, which were obtained by Brian Maass of CBS Denver, were exchanged from July 5-7 between Monfort and a fan who asked to remain anonymous. The fan sent the following to the team:

    "The Monforts have no business owning a baseball team and their missteps in hiring 'the good old boys' for front office and management positions is solid evidence of their ineptitude. They have ruined pro baseball in this region while generating millions of dollars in profit.'"

    The fan told Maass he did not expect a reply, but instead the email made its way up the ladder to Monfort, who personally responded the next day. His response:

    "By the way you talk maybe Denver doesn't deserve a franchise, maybe time for it to find a new home. Thanks."

    He is a petulant child with the emotional maturity of a teenager who inherited all his wealth from his dad. Mark Kiszla was correct to bring up the Peter Principle.

    Wow, what a horrible thing to say. MLB should give Monfort the Sterling treatment. Colorado deserves better.

    Hopefully the anonymous fan never gives that scrub the chance to aologize.

    I think the fan is in Grand Junction and it already happened. Thought I read that from the DP, but can't remember.

    Default Rockies owner Dick Monfort issues formal apology to fans he's offended

    Rockies owner Dick Monfort has recently fired back at fans frustrated with his team's performances.

    In direct responses to fans who complained, Monfort sent one e-mail that said maybe "Denver doesn't deserve a franchise" and another that said "if it is that upsetting don't come to the games."

    On Friday afternoon, Monfort issued a format apology via a statement.

    Monfort: "I want to express my sincere apology to Rockies fans that received a recent e-mail response that was not consistent with our organization's values. I have always tried to be open, friendly and understanding. Obviously, at times I have failed. The fact that so many of you take the time to write to us demonstrates your tremendous passion for the Rockies.

    Default Dick Monfort tells fan no front-office changes so Rockies' "culture" remains intact

    Rockies owner Dick Monfort on Monday met face-to-face with a disgruntled fan and told her that he would prefer not to make front-office changes because he wants "to ensure the Rockies' culture stays intact," the fan said.

    Christine Voss last week sent a two-page letter to Monfort after his interview with The Denver Post, when the Rockies owner said, "I don't know how our record got to be where it is." Her e-mail to him said, in part, "I would be astounded and mortified for a person who is as blissfully and arrogantly clueless as you."

    Monfort responded by offering to sit with her over a breakfast for a conversation. Voss, 30, describes herself as a longtime Rockies fan who buys tickets to more than 25 games each season.

    I don't really know what it is but I like something about this Flande fella. He has an era over 7 but he seems like he is better than that. It might just be the underdog thing because he's a long time minor leaguer who has put in his due and finally got a chance.

    Paulson is having a very good first series in his MLB career. He is hitting great and also playing very good in the field.
