I don't like all of them equally.

But I like the concept. And the one with Ricky Henderson arguing with himself is hilarious.

I love Field of Dreams. Love love love.

And the ads don’t bother me. I think they’re done in a way that’s pretty affectionate of the original (affectionate is not quite the word I want there, but I can’t think of the word I want).

Question:

Is anyone else done with Wiggy? I feel like the Rox let J-Lo go for less.

And our off-season continues to look worse and worse.

Tulo and Cargo big contracts: welcome under performance
JDLR: heart warming return to the Rockies story, heart breaking loss to a stupid injury
J-Lo/Wiggy picked up: J-Lo and Wiggy suckage.

The only things better than expected so far this season are Helton and CDI’s performances.

Thank God Ubaldo wasn’t given an extension too.

Judging a guy by "clutch" hits is overrated.

And I’m not one who doesn’t believe in “clutch,” either. He’s hardly the only guy who hasn’t come through with runners on. If he’s getting hits, I’m not going to complain about his presence on the team.

His WAR for the season is 0.3

Not great, but decent enough for a guy coming off the bench for most of the season.

I mean, if they finish it a game or two on either side of .500 it’s no big deal, but if they go five or six games below, then I really think they’re done.
