Episode 15: Are the Rockies "frauds"?

Published: June 20, 2017, 11:02 p.m.

b'SPOILER ALERT: No. They are not.That didn\'t stop ESPN\'s Tony Kornheiser from calling the 46-26, National League-leading Rockies exactly that on Monday. As part of a segment on "Pardon the Interruption", Kornheiser tore into the team, saying, "Ever since I saw them in the 2007 World Series, when they went down four-love to Boston, I have this prejudice against them. That they\'re a fraud team \\u2014 they\'re a fraud team propped up by altitude."Host Shawn Drotar and guest Ronnie Kohrt dissect the lazy argument -- even though they understand why the usually-excellent Kornheiser felt the way he did. After all, the Rockies haven\'t had a winning season since 2010.Seven years later, however, it appears as if the franchise might have finally turned a corner.***Brought to you by Tap XIV (tapfourteen.com) on Blake Street in Denver.Follow Ronnie Kohrt on Twitter: @RonnieKRadioFollow Shawn Drotar on Twitter: @sdrotar'
