10/30 - Hot Date With a (Free!) Taco

Mark it on the calendar, folks. As I was writing this post, mainly about how much I would enjoy obtaining a free taco, Jacoby Ellsbury decided to try to steal a base. And the Rockies decided they wouldn't risk an error with a runner at 3rd and the score tied, so, there was no throw. And with that, Mr. Ellsbury decided to feed all of America.

So, basically, if you want a free, approximately 77¢ taco, go to Taco Bell on October 30th (Jason Bartlett's birthday!!!) and you will be fed. Make sure you alert all those hobos who live on the street corners, too, because I'm almost sure they haven't tasted the deliciousness of a beefy hard-shelled taco for a couple of years. They've been too busy eating old chicken and Big Macs out of garbage cans to realize that they actually have food waiting for them that's freshly made.

I would go into the loss the Rockies 'suffered' (is it even possible to suffer after losing like that? That was an ass whooping. 13-1? Just because Josh Beckett looks like a child molester doesn't mean you can't hit something off of him.) but I would prefer not to. It was ugly, that's all I'm going to say.

I love how the announcers on Fox are extremely good at stating the obvious. You make fun of somebody for pointing at a poster and saying "Hey, look, a poster." I guarantee you'd laugh if you watched the World Series. They talk about so many stupid things I could make a drinking game out of them.

"He can strike like a cobra in a basket."

My point? Should be taken. That was stupid and totally obvious, because when I look at Manny Ramirez, I think of a cobra in a basket ready to strike, not a revolting double-chinned monster who probably hasn't gazed at the wonders of shampoo in about three years.

As much as I hate to say it, I'm almost positive the Rockies stand no chance against the Red Sox and all the drunken fans at Fenway Park. I mean seriously, the Rockies are similar to the Twins, considering they've average like 4.3 runs per game in the Postseason so far. And what are the Red Sox up to, 20.4? Don't ask, I'm pulling this out of my ass.

It would be so much more fun if the Indians had advanced. Or the Yankees, even. Then I would actually care about this. Oh well, I'm on a conquest for a free taco, so, my complaining is limited.

Okay, nevermind. You need to go to Taco Bell on October 30th from 2-5 p.m. So leave work and get a taco. Dedicate it to me, because I will be in school, about an hour away from the nearest Taco Bell. AND it has to be participating in the event, so, if it's independently owned, you might not get that beloved burrito.

Oh well, Jacoby Ellsbury. It's the thought that counts.
