The Budweiser Clydesdales are here for Monday Night Football.

UPDATE: More MNF pregame photos here, including me with the Clydesdales and the Budweiser dalmatian. Oh, and these guys:

I've heard of cheese-heads, but a cheese-ass? Heh.

Soxtober pics

By Brendan Loy

I've posted my photos of last night's Red Sox celebration on Flickr. Some are regular digital photos, some are cell-phone pics, and some are screen grabs from my video of the end of the game. (By the way, I just posted a brighter version of the video. The original version was kinda too dark to see what was going on.)

You can also view the photos in slideshow form if you like. Here's one of 'em:

Getting to watch the Red Sox win the World Series in a bar packed wall-to-wall with Boston fans -- in the heart of enemy territory, downtown Denver, no less -- more than made up for something I've always regretted: when the Sox won the 2004 World Series, I was watching in the rather uninteresting environment of my couch at Fischer Grad Residences, with just one other person (a classmate who wasn't even really a Sox fan), while a bunch of my 1L classmates, who had a paper due the next day and thus had been at the library all evening, were (unbeknownst to me until the next day) gathered in the Law Lounge watching together, and then got to witness Rob from Boston, a lifelong die-hard Sox fan who never thought he'd see them actually win the Series, go completely nuts, jumping up on tables and running out into the night screaming his head off. I always regretted that I missed that. But last night was even better.

GO SAWX!!!

Fresh off the rumor mill

By JLR

With A-Rod probably leaving the Bronx and Torre already gone, the B*stards have reportedly offered Joe Girardi the job as manager.

So they fired the always-playoff-ready Torre to replace him with a guy whose only job as manager left the Marlins just shy of the Wild Card?  I may not like Torre as a Yankee, but as a manager, he's solid; I doubt that the Yankees can do much better than him.  I might end up eating my words, but replacing Torre with Girardi doesn't seem right.

(You know what else doesn't seem right?  The fact that the guys I grew up watching play the game are now old and are employed as either commentators or coaches!)

The day after

Rocktober? More like Soxtober. :) But the World Series is so yesterday; Monday Night Football is the new hotness here in Denver. The 16th Street Mall is veritably crawling with Packers fans!

Red Sox Nation's Denver branch celebrates another world championship

By Brendan Loy

Here is the reaction at the Pour House Pub -- a well-known Red Sox bar on Denver's "LoDo" strip, as noted here and here and here -- to the final out of the World Series, as the Boston Red Sox won Game 4 over the local Colorado Rockies to win their second world championship in four years, again in a 4-0 sweep:

The first half of the six-minute clip shows the immediate reaction to the end of the game; the second half of the clip shows the crowd, a few minutes later, singing "Sweet Caroline" -- and then, at the 5:45 mark, breaking out into the obligatory chant of "Yankees suck!" Heh.

GO SAWX!!!

UPDATE: The video clip above is a brighter version, as the earlier one I uploaded was pretty dark and it was kinda hard to see what was going on. The darker version is after the jump, if anyone prefers it.
