I Can Hear Stevie

That's what I'm smackin you with cause it's easy
Like Lionel Richie, your whole style is bitchy
Switch me, mix me, somebody get me
Don't let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby...

SLUSHY GUTTER CO SPORTS ROUNDUP:

***The Rockies fall further and further into irrelevance, as the dogass Royals took two of three from the local nine this weekend. (Quick, name two guys on the Royals!) The Rox ended their 10-game homestand at 4-6, not quite the home cooking from the old days. Aside from decent starting pitching the list of Rockies woes reads like 'Baseball for Dummies'. Lack of clutch hitting, shoddy defense, a woeful bullpen, subpar power numbers, and even Dinger's head looks a bit mattted. When does football start?


***Someone, or something called the Denver Oultaws won a game this weekend. I'm not sure if that's a old West re-enacting troupe, a motorcylce gang, or a lacrosse team. But dammit, at least someone is in first.

***The Bolder Boulder 10K race is this upcoming Memorial Day, where 50,000 take to the streets of the Republic of Boulder with the sole prize of a single can of beer awaiting their efforts. Sounds good to us here at the SG, sign me up.

***The kid, former two time Slushy Gutter winner JBiz, former two time Slushy Gutter winner T-Dub and his new homies Jimmy and Smitty, and a host of others saw Denver native Stevie Johnston's return to CO this weekend. Stevie aka "Lil' But Bad" scored a decisive victory over his younger Ecuadorian opponent. While not quite looking like his former champion self, Stevie sufficiently pummelled his opponent in front of "all the pimps, all the players," white-haired grandmothers, tatted up gearheads, cowboys in 10 gallon hats, and everyone in between. Boxing: the mixing pot of sporting America.

  1. I normally hate The Mose and Sandy but they were right on this morning. "Anytime you get punked by the Royals its time to start asking some serious questions."

    See you at the BB, kid. I'll roll by where your season tix are if I can walk down stairs by then.

    Clint Hurdle managed the worst two games of his career this weekend. The bonhead move in taking out Francis on Friday and then a the 12th inn fiasco yesterday.

    I'd like to see Hurdle's record versus all the managers with the same tenure (2002-current) I'd bet he is the last on the list- by ALOT.

    ESPN published a list like that a while ago. I can't remember all of them but I'm pretty sure of Joe Torre, Tony Larussa, and Phil Garner. All of whom have had postseason and/or World Series success. So yes, it's a travesty that he's allowed to run this team into the ground, and the idiots fans (like myself) just keep coming back for more with false hopes every spring.

  4. ^Broz: next yr we have to run that b*tch SG style, one beer at each kilometer.

    ^Anon: I bet Hurdle is the only mgr/coach in all 4 pro sports with such a piss poor record that still has a job 5+ yrs later!

    ^Spot: The draw of baseball, beer, and the atmosphere is still too much. If idiots like us stop going, then they're in trouble.
