It’s Tribe Time Again
Thursday, October 25th, 2007Cleveland fans: are you feeling disheartened? Are you depressed that your season has come to an end?
Well, take heart in this: an Indian did score in the 2007 World Series…

So, Which Relentless Fox Promos During Game 1 Did I Remember?
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Just got back from the bar down the street where we watched Game 1 of the World Series (Summary: Josh Beckett, David Ortiz: good; 8-day layoffs and the inability to throw strikes: bad). Of course, more overwhelming than the Red Sox offense against Jeff “Why The Hell Are You Carding Me” Francis were the non-stop […]
There are Sox Fans Among Us
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007The Rockies are a young team. They’ve got young players, a young stadium, and a young history. Everyone who plays for the Rockies, I presume, is automatically a Rockies fan. But they weren’t always that way, of course. Most of these players grew up before the Rockies existed. And most of them had no reason to root […]
Rockies Fans Hate Me When They Should Really Hate Themselves
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007The Colorado Rockies went through a ticketing nightmare this week, when they chose to release all of their World Series tickets to the general public in one fell swoop. This was quite a brilliant move, as the entire system crashed, and the Rockies blamed a “malicious attack” for the meltdown.
It’s funny that they call an influx of […]
Let The “Flagging” War Begin
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007To follow up on Chris’ post regarding the outrage over tickets, if you haven’t been on Craigslist in the last 24 hours than you’ve been missing out on quite possibly the most childish battle the world has ever seen: Post Flagging.
Literally, fans of both teams are sitting on each others city’s For Sale - Tickets […]
The Debut of Our Big Board
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was arrested on Monday morning (for the second time this year) in downtown Denver for suspicion of DUI. Rams guard Claude Terrell was arrested this morning for assaulting his wife. So, let’s go to the big board!
50
(The list, in reverse chronological order, is as follows: Claude Terrell, Brandon Marshall (2), […]
The Hype for Super Bowl XLI1/2 Officially Underway
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007Last time I looked, the schedule says that Indianapolis Colts play the Carolina Panthers next. The New England Patriots play the Washington Redskins next. Hey, if any two teams understand the approach of taking it one game at a time, it’s the Colts and Patriots, right?
For the media, not so much. The hype is on […]
Don’t wash those socks
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007If I’m watching a particularly tense or important playoff game and the Yankees are winning, I won’t change a thing. If I’m standing on my head with my back to the TV, I’ll stay standing on my head with my back to the TV until the Yanks’ fortunes change. If I’m wearing the same pair […]
You Want Me To Pay HOW MUCH?
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007As glad as I am to see the Red Sox in the World Series - and believe me, I am - it saddens me to know that unless I want to give up my first born child (still many years away) I can’t actually make the game. I understand that these games are the biggest of the […]
Help from God? That’s Cheating!
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Colorado Rockies fans, all joined in a fair weather party for the month of the “Rocktober,” have reason to celebrate. They’ve gone 21 for 22 since September 16th, a feat no team has accomplished since the 1935 Chicago Cubs. And when we start quoting Cubs stats for records, you know it is a big deal. […]
