Rockies Journal: DJ LeMahieu’s return with Yankees reminds us what should have been

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:38:25 GMT

DJ LeMahieu’s return to Coors Field as a member of the Yankees this weekend has me thinking about what could have been. Or, rather, what should have been.The 2018 Rockies featured Nolan Arenado at third base, Trevor Story at shortstop and LeMahieu at second base. It was a golden infield. It was a close-knit team. The Rockies finished 91-71 and came one victory shy of winning their first National League West title.They lost, 5-2, to the Dodgers in the 163rd game of the season, beat the Cubs in a memorable wild-card game and then got swept by the Brewers in the National League Division Series.A bummer? Sure, but the future looked bright.And then?And then the Rockies made two of the biggest front-office blunders in franchise history. Rather than recognizing LeMahieu’s essential value to the team and finding a way to re-sign him, they let him walk away. How could owner Dick Monfort and former general manager Jeff Bridich not recognize that LeMahieu was the toughest guy in th...

Got Sriracha? Get paid!

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:38:25 GMT

It's not just you. Sriracha is hard to come by these days — at least for one popular brand.The shortage of Huy Fong Foods' Sriracha, the beloved red hot sauce packaged in those green-capped bottles, isn't new — with the company pointing to a scarcity of chile pepper supply for several years now. And as frustrated fans continue to face store shelves missing the Huy Fong name, third-party resellers are punching up prices.Huy Fong Sriracha, which used to go for under $5 or $10 a bottle, is now selling for shocking amounts in some listings posted to sites with vast third-party marketplaces — including Amazon, eBay and Walmart. Many are simply sold out.For those still in stock, prices range depending where you look. As of Thursday morning, for example, ads for a single 17-ounce bottle on eBay stretched from around $20 to a whopping $150 — contrasting significantly with the price tags of other hot sauce brands, which don't appear to have the same level of supply troubles. Sriracha short...
