I've been boarding since I moved to CO about 4 years ago. In that time, I've been up on average about 12 times a year. I haven't been to all of the ski areas in CO, but I have been to a good many near I-70. My favorite has become Copper Mountain. I love the back bowls and they give free cat rides to...

The show last night was a bit chilly (50 F) but not too cold. Being from Colorado, we know how to prepare for Sept. shows at Red Rocks. I thought it was decent, but I wasn't blown away. Dave G. proved he could scream, but it didn't really impress me. I understand what Nick was saying about Dave want...

I was watching Kingpin last night and noticed for the first time that Roger Clemens has a cameo on this movie. Did anyone else catch this?

Looks like the D'Backs are done. I saw no enthusiasm these past two games with the season on the line. The schedule favors the Dodgers over the next ten games. Arizona might finish closer to Colorado than LA. That was quite a stretch in first! 4+ months! You call yourself a fan? That's fucking path...

Dodgers are a half game back with Webb going for number 20 tonight. Third time is the charm (?).

Colorado is 5 games out! Go Rockies!

I was at the game on Tuesday, and Lincecum was not hitting his spots like he normally does. He had a few pitches in the dirt which resulted in some steals by a few heads-up plays by the guys on first. Both of those wild pitches came in the 5-run 4th. He also had a ball sail over Holliday's head and ...

Xyphir

Wow, that's the worst game Webb could have pitched tonight. He picked a bad night to suck with it being the Sunday Night Baseball Game on ESPN. May have cost him the Cy Young. It is Lincecum's to lose at this point, I was shocked by his performance and actually cheering for them, only because I hat...

The last NL pitcher to win an MVP was Koufax in 1963. I'm a firm believer in that unless a pitcher does something spectacular, the MVP should be awarded to a position player. This year, the favorite should be Pujols. He just pulled even with Chipper for average, and has 86 BBs to 44 Ks, which is sim...

It rained a little, but they didn't stop play. I hung out in my seat until the sleet started to fall. I was pretty unimpressed with Dunn defensively. I thought the ball that came his way in the second could have been caught, but he decided to trot and play the bounce off the wall. He walked twice bu...

Xyphir

I think Dunn has had 2 sacrifice flies in 2 years. He has 9 Sac Flies in during the past two seasons. It's a win situation for the D'Backs. The way the deal was structured, if they don't sign Dunn after his contract expires at the end of the season they get a second round pick in the draft. Not bad...

Xyphir

Don't like the Dunn pickup. He's possibly the worst fielder in the bigs and strikes out a lot. Not sure what management is thinking. We've got Justin Upton almost back from injury. He's a slugger and can field. Mark Reynolds at 3rd base is enough of a liability. Don't need more bad fielding. Adam D...

Odd, but I've never seen them live. To me, Foo Fighters are a bit of a guilty pleasure. They're one of the few rock bands I like these days. I've never been a fan of short songs. I'm much happier when songs are jammed out a bit, with some improvisational licks/riffs thrown in and a different set lis...

I'd take Lincecum over Webb too. You can't go by Wins to determine the better pitcher. Shit. Bob Gibson was 22-9 when he set the modern ERA record (1.12). If you want to compare pitchers, ERA is a much better figure because it doesn't take into account run support. Lincecum's ERA is more than a full...

Here are some video clips from Bonnaroo this year.

It sounds like a lot of cock jousting to me. Pearl Jam was the last scheduled act on that stage, until Kanye decided to move his time slot hence their reluctance to relinquish the stage. I'd take an extra hour of Pearl Jam over his entire show any day. I don't think many people who went to Bonnaroo ...

I'm going with Daniel Baldwin. His appearance on the "Celebrity" Rehab show was the clincher. Stephen had the whole Biodome with Pauly Shore, but I doubt it gets much creepier than airing your dirty laundry in a "Reality" show.

Mark Reynolds giveth (3 run HR in the 9th) and then he taketh away (Error in the 13th which cost the D'Backs the game). Looks like Webb should be fine after the shot he took. What an amazing game. The rubber match today, Haren vs. Santana.

Go Mets!

I've watched several of the Samarai Champloo shows. It's a different format than movies. It's more like a soap opera, with a running plot.

Wow... someone using data to support a claim. I'm impressed. I would agree that Ryan does not make the top of my list for best pitchers of all time.

I've got it down so it only takes about 1-2 minutes, max. On average, I wash them once every two weeks so that's about 40 minutes total annually, or .01% of my waking time during the year.

I feel retard for explaining that.

This is how I fold a fitted sheet. I'm OCD about a few things, and folding is one of them. Keeping my desk organized is not.

You also need to take into consideration the other people eligible.
