I think you are missing the point Mr. Kiszla. What really matters is that the early success of the Rockies is filling the stands. They'll sell over three million tickets this season, putting tens of millions of extra dollars in Charlie and Dick's pockets. Next year with Cargo and his $20 million salary gone and the last of the horrible Reyes trade off the books the Monforts might clear $100 million on this team. It sure was thoughtful of Cargo to stink the ballpark up this year, making it easy to let him walk. 

Sure, some team owners would put at least part of this windfall into acquiring players who might help the Rocks make the playoffs, but the Monforts realize that would be a one game wild card game in Arizona that won't benefit them in the least.
