America Gets Free Tacos, Rockies Get The Shaft

What they're saying blogwise about Game 2 of the World Series, a 2-1 win by Boston over Colorado ...

• I Hate Life. That is all. If these media morons are right, I will flip a wig. I hate it when World Series losses coincide with all the rest of my down feelings. I feel like total shit right now, basically. [Sparks Of Dementia

• That's It I'm Moving To Canada. Via reader WC from Canada comes the most depressing news of the day. They have a better Health Care system than us, and now they've rid themselves of Joe Buck. Seriously.....The International feed uses ESPN's Dave O'Brien and Rick Sutcliffe. I would take them over Tim and Joe in a heartbeat. Plus there's the added bonus that Rick Sutcliffe could do the broadcast hammered. Dammit Canada! As if you couldn't hate those Canucks even more. They've bested us once again. [Awful Announcing]

• Rox Fall 2-1 As Bats Continue To Slumber. The return home should be just what the doctor ordered for the bats. The Rockies hitters really are better than this. If they don't start showing it, it won't matter how deep Rockies starters go, or how well the bullpen pitches (Matt Herges and Brian Fuentes were splendid tonight). This series rests on the shoulders of Colorado's big boppers, and aside from Holliday's 4-for-4, they went AWOL tonight. [Up In The Rockies]

• I'm So Full Of Love Right Now. ... I even kinda like Tim McCarver. [Away Team]

• World Series Game 2. To all Rockies fans, please watch the denigrating names, calling opposing pitchers d——-bags or similar things will get your comments deleted. Second, to all lurking Red Sox fans, be careful to respect this site as a Rockies fan gathering place, and leave your cheering for the Sox on other sites. My fuse is much shorter tonight. Thank you. Go Rockies! [Purple Row]

• The Real World Series Breakdown. 6. Beer. In the Boston area, you have Sam Adams. Nuff said. What's out in Denver? Coors? Do you know how Coors is made? I have a good guess. When people recycle their old Sam Adams bottles, the bottles are taken to a special processing plant and washed out, using fresh water. The bottle-wash, which at this point is a mixture of fresh water and the bottom dregs of beer, are then placed in can and bottles marked "Coors". Sorry, but Coors is, like the old joke goes, like making love in a canoe (e-mail me for further clarification). Advantage: Boston [Up On The Monster]

• World Series Game II Story: Red Sox, Delicious. Oh hell yeah. Taco Bell knows what it is doing. Namely, creating a folk-hero out of Jacoby Ellsbury. Everyone in America gets for free what some wouldn't even consider paying for. Outstanding. Me? I let someone borrow my ID so they could get two. Did it work? Also, baseball was played. Schilling was solid, Oki and Paps were phenomenal at the end. [Over The Monster]

• This Could Be The Last Time. He arrived in a flurry of Dunkin' Donuts and truck commercials, and tonight, as we try to take another step toward our second World Series championship in his four seasons with us, Curt Schilling may be pitching his last game for the Boston Red Sox. It'd be easy to get all melancholy about it, but would Curt want that? Screw that noise. There's no crying in baseball. And certainly no crying when we've got the hard-ass, straight-outta-Medfield, Playoff-time Superman versus 23 year-old rookie Ubaldo Jimenez. [Surviving Grady]
