Nobody Will Stop The Rampaging Monster That Is The Colorado Rockies
Whatever you think of the Diamondbacks' fan display last night — an embarrassment, an isolated incident, a roundabout way to recycle — we don't understand why anyone is considering it a response to a "controversial" play.

The Rockies Have Become Vaguely Ridiculous
We're not sure what the heck has happened to the Colorado Rockies in the last month, but they've now won 18 of 19 games. They dominated tonight, once again. It's probably God.

NLCS Pants Party: Diamondbacks Vs. Rockies
Obviously, no one would have predicted this matchup coming in, but that is, after all, the fun of all this. Plus, in a way, it's nice to have two franchises born in the '90s battling it out for the World Series. There's a certain modern nature to it; maybe they'll run the bases with jet packs....

Jacqueline Gagne Is As Good At Commenting As She Is At Golf
This woman is Jacqueline Gagne, and, according to her, she hit nine hole-in-ones in 16 months. This is what the kids call "impossible," and the outstanding Dave Kindred, in an epic piece for Golf Digest, completely debunks all her Tall Tales. But the story does not end there....
They're Celebrating In The Streets Of Ft. Myers
This happened a while ago but we thought it should be mentioned: The Ft. Myers Miracle's "Billy Donovan Night" won Minor League Baseball's Promotion of the Year award.

If you like marathons, and AJ Daulerio, then feast on this! It's from the Chicago Marathon, via 100 Percent Injury Rate, who got it from some site called Avant/Chicago. The funny part is that when you go there, it's all normal, bland photos of people running, until you trip over this one....

The First Few Rows May Get Bloody
This time it's Pac Man who's coming into the ring as a big favorite and he's carrying some additional baggage.

The NLDS ... After Dark!
It's difficult, even for a Cardinals fan, to find much joy in these late-night Diamondback shellackings of the Cubs. A team that was outscored for the season is dominating a fellow division champion. Fortunately, the games have been too late for any children to see the carnage....
