Denver Post: Paige: No apology? Rockies’ brass tacky

Got brass in pocket...yea, mostly yours.

Then, there was the treatment of the media by the Rockies and that poor old public relations director. Nobody cares about the press, nor should he. But this is to make a point. The media are the messengers to the rest of the country and the world about Denver, its people and its team.

Even though the wireless communications didn’t operate properly during the playoffs in the Coors Field press box, it wasn’t fixed for Game 3. Hundreds of writers were unable to connect to the Internet during the game, and had serious dilemmas filing stories on tight deadlines. The Rockies’ PR staff (and the spokesman on the ticket fiasco) didn’t acknowledge there was anything awry until late in the game - then said all the writers could share two “hard lines” in waves, and why not do the wave?

How do you think the media reacted? Don’t get disturbed when Denver is described as a backward backwater town in the West.
