DENVER, CO — The National League champion Colorado Rockies continued their red-hot ways on Tuesday, extending their winning streak to 12 games, and winning 23 of their last 24 as they took both ends of a double-header against the Boys and Girls Club of Aurora, located in suburban Denver, Colorado. Rockies manager Clint Hurdle decided to schedule the affair after the Rockies swept the Arizona Diamondbacks in four straight games in the National League Championship Series. (SATIRE)

The Counselor is IN:
In the middle of last month, most experts had written off the Rockies. They appeared to be too far out to make the playoffs. They started winning, winning, and winning more. In fact they have now won 21 of their last 22 games. They barely snuck into the playoffs. They swept the Phillies and the Diamondbacks. They are waiting on the Indians and...

Focus on the microphone
So the big news today? Ross Porter is one of the possibilities for the new Arizona Diamondbacks broadcaster spot. Maybe I'm weird, but I'm actually kind of excited about the change.

I have purposefully avoiding writing about the Diamondbacks season ending a few days ago so I could step back and take a rational look at the entire season, not just a knee-jerk reaction to one series. Yeah, the way the season ended hurt. The Dbacks played bad and batted worse. The Rockies were a runaway freight train, and unfortunately the Dbacks couldn't stop them. Here'...
