Better that a Sharp Stick in the Eye
Ok, so it really is using an eye to sharpen a stick. Check out this cool pencil sharpener, coming soon. Halloween appropriate.

This is a good thing ...
Extending the ban on internet access tax another 7 years would be good. Was hoping for permanent, but no go. Read more here!
Heartbreak in D-Town
The Rox lost their groove (might've been that damn 8 days off or more simply, they just ran into a better team). I was hoping for at least one win ...
What cracked me up is how the radio stations this morning were all quick to find an excuse. One station was saying that the Red Sox paid more for a better team so they were expected to win, another was making fun of how quickly people were jumping from the bandwagon. Money or not, the Rockies gave it one hell of a shot - no one expected them to be playing in October, let alone go to the big dance. Considering they were in last place (or close to it ...) the last half dozen years, this was huge.
Some thoughts on the 'morning after':
- no one got arrested in Denver last night, 37 in Boston were
- Fox loses out on revenue with a sweep (and we can finally get back to regular programming ... heh)
- Denver (unfortunately) loses out on quite a bit of revenue with no Game 5 (but at least it won't be nuts to get to the Broncos game tonight)
- maybe they will reconsider the playoffs a bit as there has been a blowout every year for 5 years (two sweeps by the way) and a lot of it has to do with one team getting rusty while waiting on the other (yeah right)
- ratings outside of Denver and Boston were likely not ideal
Not to be cliche, but ... maybe better luck next year. The key here is, if you choose to be a fan, be a fan, even when they lose. Ask any Bostonian. Or a Mets fan.

Need an Idea for Halloween?
Whatever you do, don't cross the line like this guy. Most offensive cosutume ever!
Thanks to Chad R. for pointing this one out.

For When the Anime Fans Riot ...
They can now do so with an AK-47 with Hello Kitty on it: Check It!
And I thought the Hello Kitty vibrator took merchandising too far ...
The site has other options as well, including a rocket launcher with Mother Teresa on it (that's gotta piss someone off).
That 'AintQuiteRight' no matter how you slice it.

Finally! Game On!
The Rockies know who they're playing. Finally. I like the Red Sox too, so it should be an interesting matchup. I just hope the Rox haven't cooled off to much.
My prediction: Red Sox in 6. (Sorry, have to be realistic.)
The fun for me right now however, is watching everyone around me struggle with the assinine system of purchasing tickets online. No one is getting in and they have tried for 2 hours now. I think the Rockies are turning off some fans by doing it this way and it makes it even easier for the brokers to buy up all the tickets (they have lots of folks on hand that can spread out the purchasing, especially since the Rox told everyone more than a week ago that they were moving to online only - gave them plenty of time to staff up IMHO).
If you're trying to buy tix, good luck. You'll need it.
