Many former Rockies should make these kinds of lists. There was one year though when I remember having Hawpe on a fantasy team and he absolutely tore the cover off the ball for the first half. He dropped off significantly in the second half but I think his first half numbers were so good he still had around 100 RBIs…

for whatever is the perfect reason

Brad Hawpe’s walk-up music was a Creed song (I can’t recall which one as they’re all classics). My friend and I scored tickets near the on-deck circle and spent all game heckling him about his musical taste.

ronnie belliard. dude was an all-star once.

for whatever reason I think Brad Hawpe should be on this list.

There hasn’t been that much garbage thrown on a field in Charlotte since Jimmy Clausen was playing quarterback.

Perhaps a Cougar is more your style?

Or as ESPN puts it on their front page: “Source: Union to cry collusion if WRs don’t sign”.

Yeah, in no way are they in bed with the NFL. Nope.

Today’s Denver is a lot different than it was when I left in 2006, and WAY more different than the Denver I was born and raised in throughout the 90s and early 2000s. Today’s Salt Lake City or Boise are more equivalent to the Denver I knew and grew up with. Speaking of which, I would love to move to SLC or Boise.

Having been to Philly and Denver in equal stints, I’d take Denver every time.

So underage players who shouldn’t be in bars to begin with are now banned from being in the bars they shouldn’t be in?

They also considered instituting a ban on hitting women, but they didn't want to go overboard.

Doug collects weird plates and puts them on for videos.

In the last two months I’ve gotten an upgrade or amenity by simply mentioning why we were in town — my wife’s birthday and then our anniversary. The birthday got us a suite at one of Indy’s better hotels. The anniversary got us champagne and card when we returned to a room. Always make a point of saying why you are in…

Barry, I say this in all honesty, this just confirms that you are the most eloquent and intelligent writer at Gawker. Cats are fine, dogs are fine, people who like both or neither are fine, and Burneko can get bent.

Once free agency kicks off, I really want the Raptors to engineer a trade that sends him back to Orlando.

Cats are at least chaotic neutral. True neutral be boring af.

Damn, now I need a taco, and it’s only 10:30.

Speaking of tacos, where’s my damn Foodspin, Burneko?

I am desiring new recipes since the chicken liver pate didn’t go over so great in my house. (I had to eat the whole loaf by myself, and now I hate it forever.)
