I was born and raised in the sleepy sprawl of America's mile-high city. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a cowtown, and I am not a cowboy. Sorry to disappoint you.

Baseball is awesome, if you aren't a Mets announcer
I finally get to watch the Rockies on TV, since they are playing the Mets. Unfortunately, the Mets have been so bad all year that the announcers have lost all interest in baseball. The Mets are down 7-2 in the 4th, and the announcers have already given up. After Announcer 1 received a text from his daughter (and read it aloud on air, poor girl), the two announcers began a five minute conversation about text messages, during the middle of an inning. It concluded with an epic discovery, that you can, in fact, send texts to more than one person at a time... Announcer 1: I'm pretty sure you can send texts to more than one person at once, I don't know how, but I'm sure my daughter can do it. Announcer 2: I don't think so, I really don't Announcer 1: Jon (the producer), send us both a text Announcer 2: It's not going to work Announcer 1: My phones buzzing Announcer 2: Me too Announcer 1: I guess I'm correct Announcer 2: I guess you are -

New York is pretty impressive, nearly doubling second place Boston.
However, I’m more impressed by Green Bay, making the list while having only one professional team in their city. Go Packers!

May
and it’s May in Brooklyn but the air is just crisp enough and the sun is just hidden enough and the street is just different enough lined with trees and brownstones and during that one block I’m no longer in Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn of all places and it’s no longer May and Summer is not around the bend but I’m in Denver in September and the fall air has settled upon this sleepy sprawl of a city and this is the first night where the chill hits my skin and I smile and walk down this street lined with trees and brownstones and the crisp coolness of the air is just warm enough to keep walking but at the same time reminds me that this is it, that soon it’ll give way to the blizzards of Winter and then the rain of the Spring and then soon enough I’ll be 20, 200, 2000 miles away on a tree lined street in Brooklyn where I’ll look back and think of this one night in a nostalgic way and then I’ll turn the corner off of that tree lined street and away from the brownstones and I’ll snap back into reality and realize that it’s just another day in May.
And then I turn that corner.

How about a little variety, boys? In the West, I can see San Jose, Detroit and Chicago winning easily, but I think Vancouver is going to have a little trouble with the Blues, and Bucci and Melrose, 5 games? Come on. St. Louis is on a 9-1-1 run, and are coming out of a much stronger division than the Canucks. The Central has 4 teams in the playoffs, with Nashville only missing out by 3 points. St. Louis is in the toughest division in the West, and possibly in the league. 92 points in the Central could get you 100+ in the Northwest.
