Somebody check on the Colorado Rockies scoreboard operator.
The "game notes" posted on the video board at Coors Field on Tuesday got a little too real, when a "life pro tip" popped up where fans usually expect to see the starting pitchers, batting orders and other information pertinent to the game.
"Life Pro Tip: Don't put up with anyone who is reckless with your heart," the screen read, according to a screenshot captured by DNVR Sports' Suzie Hunter. "Life will be dramatically better if you don't pay mind to any heartbreaker.
"Unless it's the Pat (Benatar) song. Or the Mariah Carey song. Or the Led Zeppelin song.
"So, to sum up: Song form 'Heartbreaker' = OK. Real-life heartbreaker = Tell 'em to scram."
You have to wonder if anybody who showed up to the game as a couple left as a party of one after heeding this life advice.
Fortunately for the scoreboard operator, it's clear the message was intentional and not a cry for help. The Rockies had fun with it in their responses on social media, replying to the tweet above with, "where's the lie"?
We look forward to seeing what other life-affirming advice the Rockies and other teams have to offer. How to gently end a relationship when things just aren't working out? How to be more intentional in letting your partner know they are loved? Best strategies for paying off student loans?
Help us, Rockies scoreboard operator. We seek your counsel.
