Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Priorities
We have them all wrong. From constant news coverage of Jodi Arias and OJ Simpson to athletes getting mega bucks for playing a game, our sense of what is important is completely and totally screwed up. You'd think that we might have learned something from the recent events in Boston. That heroes emerge from even the most difficult of circumstances, but, no, we return to the inane and inconsequential. Amanda Knox. Film at 11.I drew this cartoon after reading the recent story about Andrew Wiggins, supposedly the "next" LeBron James, signing a letter of intent with Kansas. While Wiggins did his best to keep his signing from becoming too much of a circus, it still carried huge weight in the 24/7 news cycle. It made me think of the number of brilliant kids who will walk across graduation stages all over our country in the next few weeks, whose names are only heard as they stride forward to get their diplomas. No newspaper columns are written or press conferences held for valedictorians or honor students, but, hey, dribble a basketball and we hear all about it. Priorities. Yeah. I'd say we have them pretty screwed up.
As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

Rockies Ride Fun While It Lasted
A Great Ride But…
Doesn’t it kind of leave us all hanging upside down a bit. Waiting for something more that didn’t quite get there. But that said, wasn’t it just a blast to have the Rockies back in the playoffs!! Rocktober Rules!
Now, how about them Broncos! -

Rockies-Phillies: All Tied Up
So it’s All Tied Up.
The Rockies come home with the series even. Or is it?
Fans have a lot more control then we often give ourselves credit for. We choose the price we will pay for tickets, whether we endorse a coach, general manager or ownership, and, most importantly, how difficult we can make it for visiting teams and how great and loud we can make it for the home team. The ball’s in your court now Rockies fans. You can choose to make the Phillies’ visit to Coors Field, cordial or not so cordial. You can lift the Rockies and give them an advantage. A true home field advantage. It’s going to be cold, but that has never stopped Colorado fans before, so don’t let it start now. It may be even. But it’s not. They don’t call it Rocktober for nothing. -
Rockies Whittled Away Game One
Whittled.
That best describes what Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee did to the Rockies. Once a guy gets in a zone, there is often very little you can do about it but sit back and watch magic. The good thing is…he doesn’t pitch today. All the Rockies need is one game. And then it’s back to Coors Field and Rocktober in the Rockies. -
Baseball’s Final Destination
Rocktober II
Could it be we are on the verge of another trip to the playoffs. The goal is in sight. Get ready to paint the town Purple. I love using this metaphor of pushing the rock up the hill. It’s very versatile you know. -

Rockies Rat Race
A photo finish
It’s going to be an exciting end to the Rockies season as they move down the final turn for home. Can they hold off the Giants? Cant they make this amazing run with Jim Tracy at the helm to get to the playoffs. Don’t know but it’ll be fun watching.
