I’m not comfortable with this. It’s just my own personal preference, and I’m probably about to sound like a crotchety old man, but… Rox? Really? Is that necessary? Is it that much more difficult to type the extra two characters and call them the Rocks? Who’s writing the headlines for the AP now, Sal Masekela?
That’s all I have to say about it. I mean, I understand that this is not the Rockies are not a franchise steeped in tradition, but at the same time, this isn’t the WNBA, either. This is not Arena Football. This is not the X Games. I guess I’m just not extreme enough for this newfangled phonetic craze.

I routinely refer to the Rockies as the Rox in print. Something about Rocks just doesn’t look right… and since there’s Sox of the both Red and White variety, I don’t see anything wrong with Rox.
Nice Sal Masakela reset, by the way.

This is why the Japanese are ahead of us.
