Awesome....

So another great happening regarding the investment that has been my computer. After paying a nice little chunk of money to fix a hard drive failure last fall, now the operating system (XP) has decided to malfunction and force a full system recovery scan. However, due to documents that cannot be lost and a few other technical things that need to be done in addition to restore (all of which I am clueless on how to do), I will have to take it in to a tech shop and have them do it for me. So I lost a full afternoon yesterday and all the money I'm about to spend fixing this baby. Gotta love it right?

So since I haven't had a laptop to surf through ESPN.com and I was busy yesterday on the phone with tech support, I feel like I've lost a full day in the world of sports. All I know is that the Rockies lost yet again (go figure eh?) and the Nuggets won again (another go figure eh?). In their last 22, Denver is freaking 22-0 against teams not named the Phoenix Suns. Karl is an absolute stud. My question though: why? Why did it take so long? Management wasn't behind Bizz last SUMMER, and I told Brandon (Prince) last summer/fall that we needed a new coach. Then, when Denver was obviously struggling (sinking is more like it), they sat back and tried to see if Melo or K-Mart could right the ship on their own (not happening). Karl is JUST what these guys needed. They are a great group of talent, but were clearly lacking the "crack the whip" type of coach to get them to bust their butts and live up to expectations.

Now do I think they would have had what it takes to overtake Seattle if Karl would have been here from the start? Too hard to tell - Seattle got off to a quick start and didn't really look back for a while (although I would LOVE a first round matchup against Seattle right now), but it sure would have been a fun battle to watch down the stretch. Still, as it stands right now, Denver still has a shot at the six seed and that coveted first round matchup against GK's old team of the Sonics. And, as any Denver fan should know, the Nuggets do okay against Seattle in the playoffs.

So anyway, that's about all I feel qualified to comment on at this time. I don't even want to touch the issue of Jorge Piedra and his steriods -- errrr -- "painkillers." I'm just happy that I'll be gone for the next two years of the Rockies new direction of home-growing their talent. I just hope Heloton's still here when I get back (and maybe ONE other good free agent signing or trade aquisition wouldn't hurt).

I don't know when I'll get the chance to drop another post on here (thanks to the computer issues), but hopefully I'll find some time. Until then, school school school school school school (sucks huh?).

At least it's 84 here today.

And I'm going to California next week.
