I’m Freaking Famous!!!
I’ve just gotta say, I never expected such a hugh response from this. I started this thing to first and foremost share my love of baseball and the Rockies. I sent an email in to the Rockiescast guys with a link to this blog when I wrote about the success of the team being linked to the amazingness that is Spillys beard. Now, not only have they talked of the fact that I had a mancrush moment about them, but they are telling all of you out there to check me out. Freaking Awesome. So, to Ted and Steve at Rockiescast, you are this edition’s mancrush!!!
Now on to the baseball at hand. After a very subpar series against the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim, which is a ridiculous name by the way, the boys have pulled out yet another sweep. This time against one Matthew Thomas Holliday, oh yeah, the Oakland As were there too. I still can’t believe the transformation that has taken place with this team. They are finally playing at the level that I have expected of them for years. They have never been in the hunt this early in the season before. They are right there in the wild card, and if they can take a couple from the Dodgers this week, they can be right back in the NL west as well!
Now, to a couple of congratulatory notes. Aaron Cook AKA the Cookie Monster, has become the all time winningest pitcher in purple. I know, the Rox ain’t been around to long, but anyone who wins 50+ games is doing pretty good and Cookie still has time to win some more. Brad Hawpe hit is 100 home run right after his alma mater won the College World Series. Way to go Hawper, 1/5 of the way to a Hall of Fame career!
Good luck against the Dodgers, Boys!
Peace,
