Help getting thru the All-Star Break

by PioneerSkies on Jul 13, 2009 11:55 AM MDT

Today and Wednesday are the only two days in the year where there is no MLB game, NFL game, NBA game or NHL game. Personally, I'm not really thrilled about the Home Run Derby, especially because there are no Rockies participating. I'll watch the All-Star Game and root for the Rockies/National League, but ultimately it's an hype-driven exhibition that Bud Selig. It has been some time since there has been a help getting thru the day post. I figure the All-Star Break is the perfect time to bring it back.

I'm not sure how amusing or popular this will be, but oh well here goes. Rowbots, I present to you the Midsummer Rockies Caption Contest.

I'll get it started...

1) Two points for the takedown.
2) Spilly: “Hey Stew, check out my new tongue piercing.” Stewie: “Cool. Does it hurt if I do this?”
3) JUDO KICK!!!

For you and I, studying for the bar exam should be a useful diversion during the ASB. Not that I enjoy studying for the bar exam or anything, but it’s something that needs to be done.

True.

Today’s commercial paper lecture was so brutal I had to get my mind off it.

1) And Tulo stops Drew just short of the first down! It’ll be 4th and inches!
2) “Once you snatch the sunflower seed off my tongue, then you will be prepared, young grasshopper.”
3) Sometimes you’ll do anything to break up the double play!

1) Tulo will win any showdown with any NL West shortstop. Any day. Any time. Any colored hat.
2) Is it Spilly’s tongue or apparent rat tail that has Stewart intrigued?
3) Purple is our color dammit! Go switch to red like all the rest!

1) Tulo completes his latest triple play with a TKO.
2) Helton slips Jim Tracy a $5 after the rest of the team celebrates another Rockies win.
3) Barmes performs his deer meat routine on a hapless Diamondback.

Is that

really an old-skool Dback?

Looks like the right colors, I just didn’t think he’d be using a picture that old.

Don’t forget there are other sports out there, though! The Tour de France, for example – they did have a day off Monday, but they’re back on the road today. Though it’s a good (and slightly wtf) stat that you can watch US sports 363 days a year.

2. “I’m getting too old for this, Jim.” “Me too, Todd.”

don’t have much for the other two, kind of thinking along the lines of something about Tulo’s sister in #1 but it got off-color in a hurry.

1. Tulo Takes Drew In the Mixed Martial Arts, Baseball Division Championship

2. Helton, “I wouldn’t shake hands with Stewart after he had is hand in Spilly’s mouth.”

3. Barmes swings wide again, finally connects.

1. Sadly, Tulo and Drew finished runners-up in the NL sideways ballroom dancing competition.
2. Ian: Pull my finger…dude…pull my finger. Ryan: EFF THAT!
3. Barmes with the haymaker left hook, and “The Snake” goes down hard
