The big news in Denver-area sports, in case you missed it...
Last Friday: Rockies drop a thriller to San Diego, 12-2. Padres pour salt on the wound by bringing in Brian Falkenborg to pitch the last two innings. The Rockies do not score, and Falky drops his ERA from a perfect 10 to 8.18.
Saturday: Rockies win first 1-0 game in Coors Field history over Padres, a fact SportsCenter beat to death trying to make the recap interesting.
Sunday: San Diego exacts revenge, a dish best served cold, with an 8-5 topping of the Rox. Todd Helton goes 2-for-3 with his tenth homer to continue his relatively hot recent hitting.
Tuesday: Brian Fuentes pitches a scoreless...wait, make that doesn't pitch a scoreless anything in the All-Star game. Didn't see that coming.
Wednesday: The Denver Post runs an outstanding article, "Depth makes Middlebrooks expendable". It's unfortunate that headlines have to be crammed into such a specific space; the Post had to reject the original and preferred, "Complete Absence of Talent makes Middlebrooks expendable." Middlebrooks (Willie Middlebrooks, the former first-rounder who finally "broke through" last year as a nickelback) was arrested earlier this year, too, I don't remember hearing that. Bravo.
Also, in a move that shocked absolutely nobody, a recruiter/fall guy pled guilty to...read the article, it has to do with the CU sex scandal thing; I long ago lost interest.
Thursday: The Broncos actually trade Middlebrooks to the 49ers for defensive end John Engelberger, who is okay (six sacks last season). The stockpiling of mediocre DLs continues. Not that Middlebrooks is great, but the front four (or three, if rumors of a 3-4 switch stick) is now loaded with nobodies, and the secondary is thinner than Julius Hodge. Which isn't a big deal; we haven't been knocked out of the postseason by a good passing team in literally months.
Tonight: Jason Jennings takes the hill, as the Rockies put their sparkling 7-33 road mark on the line in Cincinnati.

football is just as susceptible to bad fashion trends (run and shoot any one, zoiks) as a singles ward in Murray.
where are the archivists when you need them... anyone recall those "cinderella years" when phillips manned the broncos team/defense?
this too, shall pass.
The 3-4 worked in a few places-but that doesn't make it the right fit here. If we had more good linebackers it might make sense, but we've of course focused all on the defensive line, so perhaps we're not switching much.
bad coach... and well... his son was honestly, one of the worst people i've ever known in my life.
And another thing, I think there are 2 Alex Sudreths' coz I never said Pugs loved men (along with a lot of other comments), that was someone else pretending to be me.
But I guess I'm not convinced there's even one person actually named Alex Sudreth, so it's tough for me to try to ban one of you.
In all seriousness if you want to avoid that you can create a Blogger account using the link, and then no one can fake being you.
so long "pugs"
it was fun while it lasted.
re: wade and wes
they say the nut doesn't fall far from the tree, i'm sure wade wasn't too good of a man.
And I'll get right on the blogger account thing.
