Memorialize The Points

I just wanna do my jams with fams and slam into some hypeness
But biters and back stabbin rappers don't even like us...

CO SPORTS
-Eleven games under at the first "check point" of the season is where your National League Champions stand. Even a 30-20 clip won't get them from below the 500 level before the All-Star break. And the once potent lineup, already decimated by a lack of clutch hitting, is becoming increasingly thin. Tulo, Holliday, Barmes, Hawpe, and Taveras have or will miss time. Can the season be salvaged? With the pitching so damn inconsistent, the bullpen (minus Bucholz) unreliable, even the managing with questionable calls, the ammo to prove the 07 Champs as big time flukes grows.

-The great Memorial Day tradition here in CO is the Bolder Boulder 10K road race up in the Republic. Once again, the carrot at the end of the stick for the Slushy Gutter is that ice cold Michelob Ultra that is awarded to each runner at the race's conclusion. Look for the true boozers to be accosting underage participants to take their free beer coupons.

HIP HOP
-Iller Than Theirs offers a free download from Tone Tank, The Black Six Sessions over on their blog. It's a small collection of beats made from old punk records with Tone Tank spitting over each. ITT was one of the most slept on joints of last year, and this EP definitely is worth checking; peep the energy on "Fight Song." Best yet, it's free. CHECK IT

BEER
-The Mecca in Golden has offered to the Democratic National Convention this summer in Denver (hello, hookers!) the ethanol waste of their beer to power various vehicles. Coors, a longtime right-leaning company is softening? Is Obama a Yellow Dog drinker or is he a Blue Moon type dude? Al Gore once polished off a keg by himself, and he invented kegs. Will Bubba get his own private Coors Lounge at Pepsi Center? And if you see anyone in a ski mask and a siphon in the DNC garage, it wasn't me.
