Yankee Doodled

Lyrically I freak your funk you never heard
My shit is so fly, when I kick it, it's absurd
Damn, how I wrecked your life with one record
Made your crew break up and girl get naked...

A few quick observations from last night's Rockies victory over the Yankees:

-Troy Tulowitzki has a chance to be a real special player in the league. His size (6-3), range, and hitting ability is already at a high level. Some work in the weight room and with some Rockies hitting vets hopefully will raise his power numbers. Lots of comparisions to Derek Jeter already-minus poking out Mariah Carey, Vanessa Minnillo, and Jessica Biel. Although I think Troy could take Nick Lachey if needed.

-On the Fox Sports- Rocky Mountain broadcast you could pick up some hysterical lady who screamed before every pitch to the batter. After a little bit of investigation, it was determined that it was ex-Rockies pitcher Marvin Freeman.

-For the first time, Rockies OF and almost CU quarterback Matt Holiday was mentioned as a possible MVP candidate. He's hitting over .400 since May, and leads MLB in hitting since May of last year.

-The crowd was about a 50-50 split, with maybe a tad more Rockies fans. If you live in NY or points beyond (I've read of New Mexico/Kansas/etc Yankee fans coming in for the series) then root for your team. If you live in Colorado and were sporting Yankee Blue, please return to the bandwagon.

-A-Rod was not spotted afterwards at Shotgun Willies or tanning in the park without his shirt.

  2. a 50-50 fan split should be considered a victory no matter the score. When I was going to Yanks/ Rox games, The Purple and Black Bruise Crew was lucky to pull 20% of the crowd. Same for Cubs games.

  3. Jessica Biel wins.

    I agree with Hallux. 50/50 split with fans is pretty impressive when you figure we are averaging only about 15k attendance per game.
