For those who didn’t see it last night, the Colorado Rockies/San Diego Padres play-in game was one of the most enjoyable nights of baseball that I’ve watched in a while. It had a bit of everything — Jake Peavy going all Tom Glavine in the first inning, the Padres hitting a grand slam to take the lead back, a see-saw set of middle frames, a shoulda-been home run that ended up as a controversial ground-rule double, four extra innings, 10 pitchers for the Rockies, an all-too-predictable disintegration by the most overrated closer in history, and a controversial finish prompted by the most lifeless umpire on this or any other planet. It was really remarkable. And the Rockies won, at that! Good for them…now they get to take on the Phillies on Wednesday afternoon, two time zones away. If you missed it, head over to Awful Announcing and check out the live game blog that Extra P laid down last night.

All credit to The Big Lead on bringing this first story to light. The San Francisco Weekly apparently caught up with trainer Greg Anderson’s cell mate, and…well, the resulting story isn’t pretty, although it is funny. Let’s just say it involves elk semen, male lactation, and needles being stuck into places they were never intended for (Okay, yes, this isn’t serious…but yet it doesn’t SOUND that far off, does it?)

Lion in Oil discovers that the Colorado Rockies are really God’s team (Quick, alert the Detroit Lions about this!). Hey, Matt Holliday’s hand might not have touched the plate, but the Lord’s certainly did!
