Fight On SC!!!

Oh wait.., sorry... wrong blog. Alright, full disclosure, my attention to this game thread will be virtually non-existent tonight unless something really bad is happening in Los Angeles.

Of course, now my bleeding heart liberalness has me realizing that last night something that actually was really bad happened in LA, and I want to express my genuine sympathies to the victims of yesterday's Metrolink crash and wishes of safety to those in Galveston as well right now. Okay, I'm going to go donate to the Red Cross, call all my immediate family and then feel a little less guilty about watching USC vs tOSU, but once again I'm at the point of having to disclose that I might not be around much this evening.

Go Rockies.

Tie game

Yeah, I’m the only person here. Figure I might as well follow online. Especially since my college team already delivered a beatdown of epic proportions earlier today, so I’m feeling pretty zen about everything else, Rockies included.

Although I do have it one, I don’t care who wins between USC and OSU, since I generally hate both of them (sorry, Rox Girl!).

I have the USC/OSU game on, not one.

It's okay...

I’ve grown used to the comtempt. I figure it’s as if I were a beauty queen and everybody hated me I would pretend it was because they were jealous even thouugh it would probably be because I was pretentious snot. So, I guess I’m saying I’ll pretend to assume it’s just jealousy even though I suspect otherwise.

Heh

Don’t worry, I’ve been in your position before with other teams/sports. But you went to USC, right? So I can’t begrudge fans who actually went to a school. It’s the fans that are just frontrunners that I have issues with.

I’ll console myself with the fact that you got your QB coach (or is Sarkisian the OC now?) from my school. So clearly you owe us. ;-)

He's the OC now,

And clearly I and all Trojans do owe you guys, especially for what your team did to a certain other squad yesterday.

And this

is how I expected the game to be when I put it on.

Yay....

after tonight’s imminent loss we will be tied with the giants for 4th place. I realize we are far out of the playoff chase, but it would be nice to win a game.

Woot for draft picks?

This season went way south in a hurry. Losing to the Giants would be a huge embarrassment.

It's my birthday tomorrow,

and the last time the Rockies won on my birthday was in 2005. They played the Dodgers. Asking for too much?

It would be really nice if they won for your birthday Russ...

they should do it for such a loyal fan of theirs and to salvage some dignity. Yay for dropping to 4th place with the loss!

Seven losses in a row.

They might not provide me with a happy birthday.

Huzzah

What a rallying send-off, guys. Just the way I wanted to leave Coors until June ‘09. I didn’t even ask them to win, since I knew that was beyond their capabilities. I just asked them to not look totally inept while losing. Guess what? They looked totally inept while losing!

In conclusion, the Rockies hate my guts. Oh yeah? Up YOURS!

Purple Row's resident entertaining pessimistic asshole. Somehow the incarnation of crusty goo. Is this a good thing? Who knows.
