GO ROCKIES!
I shouldn’t tell you this since it may lower my chances of winning, but there are 2 sweepstakes on the official Colorado Rockies site to win free tickets to the World Series.  Click on “Sweepstakes” in the left-hand column to get to both entry forms.  Be sure to read the official entry rules for each […]

So I just found out that Yahoo Sports shows live NHL games for free.  Not only that, but they’ve got previously intertron-televised games availible too.  So yeah, I thought I’d share that.  The Avs are gonna be on Yahoo Sports NHL-Intertron-TV on October 23 at 7:30 mountain time, and I’ll be tuning in.
Here’s the schedule

Saving Hockey

I was browsing the internets today when I came across a post about Fantasy Hockey saving the NHL. While I agree that Fantasy Hockey systems could be improved to help fans get hooked on hockey, the percentage of fans that even play fantasy sports for any league is small compared to TV viewership. Making hockey […]

The Patriots hate fun

So I’m sitting here in Boston waiting for the Rockies game to start, and I’m forced to watch the Patriots dominate the Dallas Cowboys. It occurs to me that they are absolutely ridiculous. They are so good that they’re not even fun to watch. Football is no longer fun to watch. Every other team in […]

Props to you, Rick in Santa Fe

Rick in Santa Fe, you are a Higher Being of comedy. Take a look at this comment on Will Leitch’s Fair and Foul blog at the New York Times:
The humidor & the Higher Being have nothing to do with the unbelievable run that the Rockies are having […] If the Guy Above is blessing the […]

Attention Cole Hamels

Today would be a good day for sleeves. It’s going to be cold and wet, possibly even 35 degrees and snowing at gametime today. Welcome to October baseball in Colorado. I still envy the fans who get to go to this game, but the weather does make my exile to Boston slightly more bearable. I’ll […]

Boston: Fear the Juggernaught

Yes, I realize the Rockies have to win two more games against the Diamondbacks to advance to the World Series. The Red Sox have to win three. But Red Sox fans are already looking ahead to what seems to be the likely WS matchup, so I thought I would too. I go to school in […]

Don’t you dare touch Tulo

If Tulo gets slid into, hit by a pitch, or otherwise jobbed by a D-Backs player in today’s game, I’m calling shenanigans. Last night, Troy had some words for Arizona rookie Justin Upton, who stared down Jeff Francis after being hit by a 77 MPH off-speed pitch, and rightly so. Justin, it’s the seventh inning […]

N L C S

Not much to say here, sitting expectantly on the edge of the eye of the storm. I guess there hasn’t been too much of a media blitz over the series, but that’s to be expected, because didn’t you know, this is the Real Actual Series for Third Place? It’s true. The AL is so much […]

Hockey Started?

When did this happen? I’m actually sort of excited for the season, probably because I’m at college in Minnesota. Anyway, I guess this is a PSA. Intertron users: the NHL has started. For more information visit
