Broken dreams, crushed hopes, etc.

It’s over. The Rockies aren’t gonna win the World Series this year. It hurts my soul, yes, and unless you’re some kind of monster, it hurts yours too.
To the folks at Coors last night and tonight, you rock. Because of your non-stop raucousness and persistent, thundering “GO…ROCKIES,” I was proud to be […]

November 25 - December 15, 2007
Free.  Totally, absolutely free.  Nothing to buy, no sales pitches to sit through; just ski or ride for FREE.
“Ski Free” is back, and it’s for real!  Here’s the blurb on the Crested Butte Mountain Resort site if you don’t believe it.
 See you on the slopes at Crested Butte!
Wow — Free!

Hang in there, Denver.

The Red Sox are invading. Let’s show them how real people behave (courteously, not like assholes with extreme entitlement issues) and then show them how real outfields treat fake outfielders. I can’t help but be an optimist: this series is going to be the most dramatic in recent memory. It’s going to fit the rest […]

Let’s hope they’re right

Take a look at this simulation of the World Series. It has the Rockies winning it all in seven games, and let’s hope they’re right. But look a bit closer at the game 1 prediction: Red Sox 11, Rockies 2. That’s scary accurate, but look even closer at the box score. It has Mike Lowell, […]

Just added to our main Colorado-for-Free website:  a new Colorado Videos page featuring several online Videos related to — you guessed it — free stuff in Colorado.
Initially we’re experimenting with finding a few good videos and showing them on our site.  We’ll swap them out frequently so you can view new videos when you return […]

One game is not four games.

True to form, the celebrating has already begun in Boston. But just remind yourself: One game is not four games. Thirteen runs doesn’t win you four games. A billion extra-base hits doesn’t win you four games. Only winning four games wins you four games.
And remember this, Red Sox fans: the Rockies weren’t supposed to win […]

Rockies Disaster Report: Game 1 Preview

Listen to RDR #1 - World Series Game 1 Preview
I just posted a Game 1 Preview podcast of sorts on YouCastr.com, which is a new youtube-like website for sports fans. The cool part about it is that they provide some amazingly simple web-based software that lets users do live audio broadcasts and then archives […]

Okay, okay, okay. Crap. No, shit. Check it out. Check it the crap out: because I’m a so-phisticated man-o-learnin’ currently enrolled at a college, I have a mandatory session with one other student and my theater prof from 6:30 to 8:00 today. This means I’ll miss the first hour of […]

Jay Alves: What we’ve known all along

Longtime readers and sports blog junkies might recall this business from last year. What you see there is that I contacted Jay Alves about MLB’s press pass policy. What you don’t see is that after I posted his reply e-mails, he responded with a rather testy and insulting e-mail that, surprisingly, did not even ask […]
