Rock Out With Your Cook Out




I put two and two together and I came up with four
You are forever, forgot, forbid, shouldn't have to say much more...

Somehow Alanna Rizzo, champagne flowing freely and dousing her with it wasn't what I had day dreamed it would be. These damn rap videos have distorted my mind!

But the Rockies heading into the post season for the second time over the past three autumns helped overcome my disappointment.

Two years ago we sat dumbfounded what had just transpired. The regular party goers in the NL playoffs watched as the unwelcome guest came to the gathering, drank all their beer, danced with their chicks and kicked their tails out in the parking lot. And now, those same party crashers are back and they look meaner and cooler. Shit, one of them even has a mohawk!

These dudes found every way to win: walkoffs, pitching, over the back(ahem)catches, late season arrivals and heroes, keen managerial moves, mound height gamesmenship, and maybe Dinger took a leak on the opponents bat rack.

Aaron Cook cemented his spot in the Rocktober rotation with a devastating sinkerball yesterday that had the Brewers looking like they were brewing Natural Ice. Garret Akins was dusted off and will be a valuable bench weapon.

The 09 edition of the Rockies still has unfinished business though, as they try to shake off the celebration hangover and head to LaLa land to grab the NL West. Revenge for the Nuggets...and all those Cali drivers who clog up our roads.

These guys are battle tested, a deeper bullpen, and act like they've been there before. No crap, because they have. This Rocktober sequel could be better than the original.

This pitching staff is laughable. Good luck against the Fightin' Phils. No Lucy Liu, um, Kaz Matsui in the lineup this year to hit fluke grand slams like last time. See you at the ball park.

That thin air is making you say some pretty silly crap. Despite last nights piss poor (or Coors poor as we say in the Lou), I see the Cards walking away with the NL and meeting the Wankees at the show.

Yeah, I'm sure Brendan Ryan really scares the shit out of the Rockies pitching staff.

And @ Tuck: Really? The Phillies are the worst team of the 4 playoff teams. Good luck with Brad Lidge there chief. Have fun with the corpse of Pedro Martinez throwing a pivotal road game too.

And @ the Commish. You ready to admit Cook is in the starting playoff rotation yet?

Jesus baseball makes me angry.

all five starters in double digit wins yet the staff is "laughable"

Guess facts shouldn't get in the way of opinion, eh?

I always thought Kaz looked like John Leguzimo in "To Wong Foo"
