Our thoughts are with Angry Ward and family after the passing of his wife’s Dad.
DENVER, CO – With Mother Nature and mankind combining to throw some serious (and not-so-serious) curve balls at us, it’s important to stay firm in the box and stand tall on the mound [Ahem]. Indeed, some wacky things have transpired, thus today’s talking points: Snowballs In May, Philly Cheesesteak Ban, Beer Skates, Planes Hitting Trucks.
Snowballs In May
For just $12 you can go to tonight’s Rockies vs Mets match. Section 400… Coors Field… Sounds like a fun, right? Well, not. Not really. See there’s this winter storm watch thingy going on in Denver, and the Amazins managed to get get snowed-out yesterday. They will be playing tonight at 9:20 PM ET, after the snow-blitz subsides. It’s going to be unpleasantly cold for anyone but a Polar Bear – and he’s in Baltimore. [Bah Doom Cha] The weather people are saying it will get down to 32 degrees in Denver. Suddenly that twelve bucks seems like twelve bucks too much! But the good news is the Mets pitching staff will be throwing snowballs instead of beach balls in the homer-friendly Coors Field air.
Cheesesteak Ban
Full disclosure, yours humbly is a vegan. With that intel that I know you couldn’t live without, cheesesteaks are revolting to me. HOWEVER, if I owned a bar or restaurant that served cheesesteaks, I wouldn’t take them off the menu because of some Knicks success bubble. I would still need to sell cheesesteaks after the basketball season ends in August. It’s bad biz to leave a bad taste in a customer’s mouth. (See what I did there?)
Beer Skates
Let’s get this straight; the Carolina Hurricanes nail it with one of the greatest promotions ever and run out almost immediately! Adding insult to injury, they can’t get the China-based, kid-labor company to make more in the needed time?! What is going on?!
BEER SKATES ARE HERE ?
Get yours at any bar, select stands, and carts TONIGHT at the @LenovoCenter. pic.twitter.com/DbKTdpb1p9

Planes Hitting Trucks
This headline has nothing to do with the New York Jets. Sure, many of us thought it very easily could have been some metaphor involving Woody Johnson, Aaron Glenn and some fed-up Jets fan that happens to work as a United Airlines pilot. That was not the case and thankfully, the truck driver is okay and will get millions of dollars from the airline and/or Newark Airport.
That’s it pour moi. Leave your two francs below and come back tomorrow for a giddy Buddy Diaz.
