Holy Heck, Part II: The Attack of the Clones

So, I found my way into a paper, which is kind of cool. If you live in Boulder, you can pick up a Colorado Daily for free pretty much anywhere. If you don’t, your city is smelly and has cooties. You can check it out online right hyah. It’s in a different style than how I write here. The style I write on here doesn’t belong in any newspaper. Maybe in: Maniacal Tirades for Those Who Find Craziness Funny Weekly. Anyway, I’m in a newspaper. Maybe I can call myself a sports writer. No, definitely not, but I can pretend (I’ve got a voice recorder and everything!).

In other news, I’m in this thing called “college” and in this thing called “college” they have these other things called “finals” and “term papers.” Well, they are very time consuming. So, I won’t be posting much for a week or so. I’m guessing neither will Anthony. I will, however, try to post a Rockies minor league report sometime this weekend. For hopin’ through.

In other other news news,, we here at Frost Brewed Baseball have decided to upgrade our website. We will soon get our own domain name and will thence be referred to as (on your address bar) www.frostbrewedbaseball.com (unless it’s taken, which I doubt). It really means nothing, but it makes us look more radical, possibly tubular, without the little “.blogspot” part.

I have a couple quick mini-posts.

Mini-post #1

The Rockies suck (though I still love them dearly).

Mini-post #2: Electric Boogaloo

Jay Cutler was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Has Jay been spending a little too much time on the ranch with Wilford Brimley? If so, he better break out that patented Wilford Brimley mustache for next season. The Brim-stache. The Wilf-tee. Well, no matter how you got it, we at Frost Brewed Baseball wish you luck, Jay. You can Dia-beat-this. Sorry, had to.

Mini-post #3: Beyond Thunderdome

Come on, Av’s. Wasn’t this supposed to be an intense rivalry? That wasn’t a rivalry playoff series, it was a massacre; a massacre akin to the scene in Hot Shots Part Deux in which Charles Sheen has a machine gun and guns down hundreds of hundreds of terrorists while a little body counter at the bottom of the screen counts up until it is “The Bloodiest Movie Ever!!!” In this example, the Red Wings are Charles Sheen; an Army of One—only at goarmy.com. The Avalanche, meanwhile, are the heaping piles of shameful turncoats who gave up the ghost at Sheener’s command. My mastery of metaphor is staggering, baby. Right now, Patrick Roy is looking down from his throne and brushing his index finger at the Av’s (the international sign for “shame on you”).

That's SIR Lady Byng to you

Sir Lady Byng, I am in your debt. Super Joe Sakic once again proved unstoppable for the Avalanche in last night’s playoff opener against the Minnesota Wild. His goal 11 minutes into the first overtime period gave the Avs a 3-2 victory for a 1-0 lead in the best of 7 series and a key win on the Wild’s home ice. Though the Avs took an impressive 2-0 lead in the second period on goals by Kurt Sauer and Ryan Smyth, they squandered it in the first 6 minutes of the third period. The first goal was just unlucky as a pass from the corner deflected off defensemen Jeff Finger’s skate and past an unsuspecting Jose Theodore. The other came on a Wild power play as the four Avalanche on the ice somehow got pulled up towards the blue line, leaving Todd Fedoruk, known more for his fighting than his finesse, alone in front as he deked Theodore and shoved a backhand past the sprawling goaltender. A penalty shot awarded to our $31 million man Ryan Smyth with 3 minutes to play in regulation could have sent the Avs home with a victory, but his attempt was thwarted by Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom, leaving Avs fans presuming the worst was about to happen and Theodore would subsequently revert to his sieve-like form as we changed the channel wondering what could have been. Instead, Theodore came up huge in overtime, snuffing out numerous chances until o Captain my Captain saved the day once again. Game 2 is Friday night as the Avs look to head back to the Rocky Mountains with a sizable 2 game advantage.
