We learn via SB Nation's "Mile High Buzz" that the Colorado Rockies' minor league affiliate, the Casper Ghosts, are relocating to Grand Junction on the Western edge of Colorado and will be renamed the Grand Junction Rockies.  This is exciting news for the entire region.  Someone tell the players to stay away from the cantaloupe.

Resident sports columnist John Reidy talks the Rockies and their bounty of fans this week in his column, Jock Itch at the AV Club Denver / Boulder:

Juggalo or Raider fan is back but not before a stern resentment that it's "racial profiling." Tweep of the Week, and Scott won't give up who FakeDater is. Oh yeah Tom Tancredo eats Mexican babies.
