There is nothing about being a Christian company that requires it to conduct its business badly. I have done consulting work, for example, with a couple different companies that profess to be Christian, and despite my extreme skepticism about religion (to put as gently as I can), I found them to be good people who were generally living the values they professed. My encounters with them were in the areas of sales negotiation and also in litigation. In both cases, they were quite ethical and quite ready to accept responsibility for their own actions. And they both happen to be really profitable companies— not because they are cut-throat, but neither are they pushovers.

So in this instance, there is nothing about the Rockies’ self-righteous asshole pose of being “Christian” (cough dinosaur dancing to distract opposing pitchers cough screwing with speed gun cough not the same humidification of balls for both halves of the innings cough) that requires them to be purely charitable at the cost of bad business.

Right, its not O’Dowds fault that he didn’t Sal didn’t prepare for the season properly, he should had bought the COBRA package.
