File this under shameless self-promotion. TOONrefugee just completed the logo for a new site devoted to baseball trade rumors (I’ll also be contributing an occasional cartoon and a bit of pithy commentary there as well). With the hot stove league heating up, the site should be a lot of fun for baseball fans. So, please check out the latest MLB trade rumors at the Rumor Mill.
More World Series Weather:?2008,?2006
With the temperature in the thirties, the Rockies hope to refind their hot streak and Boston is hoping those Red Sox come with battery powered heaters.
To all you ice-cold Rockies fans, from a warm and cozy Cardinals fan who’s jealous as can be: This Bud Coors is for you.
UPDATE: The Rockies lost 10-5 to fall to behind three games to none. Let’s hope they can build a fire of their own tonight otherwise it’s, “Wait ’til next year.”
UPDATED UPDATE: It’s “Wait ’til next year.”
Even though Joe managed to pull the Yankees back into the battle and get them into the play-offs, it wasn’t enough, he’s gone. And this cartoon, originally published back in June has proved prescient. After 12 straight playoff appearances and four World Championships, the Torre era in NYC is over.
Sorry Cubs fans, I really wanted to root for you but it’s just not in my makeup. Anyway, you’re just one game away from “Wait ’til next year” for the 99th time!
Like most Cardinal fans, I’m just glad that we can finally stick a fork in our 2007 season and call it done!
*Now that the chemically-enhanced, armored-elbowed Mr. Bonds has earned his asterick in the Baseball Hall of Shame, TOONrefugee proposes the addition of a new term to the baseball lexicon to describe his future home runs: BLASTERISK.
