I thought it beared repeating. Any time a team comes from 9 behind in the Ninth, well as the church lady would say “Isn’t That Special”. And check out my Summer Sports Maintenance cartoon below. Today you get a double header.
Today I feel ill because I turned off the game and missed seeing the greatest comeback ever. This includes any comeback that Elway ever pulled off in his NFL career.
Good Morning from Omaha,
How ’bout those Rockies!!! They seem to be on a roll just like the Royals. The boys in blue have 4 of the last five series and nine out of the last twelve. I know most of you don’t give a hoot but after almost 20 years of bad baseball it might be time to have some hope.
They are hoping to end the season with a .500 record. sometimes its the small victories. Like the sunrise over the bike trail as you come over Vail pass. You have to stop and go WOW, It just takes your breath away. OK, its just baseball but the sunrise at Vail pass down into copper makes the trip worth the effort.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

I thought Sunday’s game was the best. That was, until last night’s game! To make this ex-Royal’s fan even happier, we did it to the Cardinals!!! Thanks for the excellent cartoon, Drew. I’m so glad you are a local guy who still appreciates the sports community of Colorado.
The odds aren't good. Simply put waiting for an NBA player to make a free throw is a bit like waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series. It just ain't gonna happen. At least in our lifetimes. It reminds me of one of my favorite stories. Legendary basketball coach Don Haskins, all 250 plus pounds of him, had a player who apparently thought a bit highly of himself and didn't find his deficiency at the free throw line to be that big of a deal. Haskins challenged him to a free throw contest and let the kid go first. The kid hit a couple out of 10 or so and proudly handed old man Haskins the ball. After the coach hit his 100th in a row without a miss the kid learned his lesson. Don't argue with the Bear. And learn to shoot free throws.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen (that I've found yet) so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.
Absolute best game I have ever been to, and I was at the Wild Card Tiebreaker and the 18-17 game back in 2008. Un. Be. Liev. Able.
Dear Mr. Litton,
Today I feel ill because I turned off the game and missed seeing the greatest comeback ever. This includes any comeback that Elway ever pulled off in his NFL career.

My favorite comeback ever. Kind of long, but make sure you watch the ENTIRE THING.
