this woman streaked at last night's Rockies-Phillies game (Philly won, by the way).  And by "streaked" I mean she ran around in more clothes than Hooters waitresses, anyone on spring break, or your mom. 

Fortunately for us, reader Jeepster was at the game, and he provides us with such a detailed description of the event that we hardly need the photograph.

I was at the Rockies/Phillies game tonight where Manny Corpas put on a clinic on how to blow a lead. Runners on second and third, we [I think Jeepster plays for the Rockies - Ed.] intentionally walk the #4 hitter with a .180 BA, so we can try to get a double play ball from the next batter, who is hitting .348. Of course he hits a triple. Fucking Rockies.

I think it was the seventh or eighth, but there was a very busty woman who entered the field, ripped off her shirt, then ran across the outfield, boobs bouncing in her bra the whole way. She got stopped in centerfield, where she was escorted off.

I guess the first part of this was shown on TV, but they cut away pretty quickly. I'm not sure if there were any readers paying attention with cameras. I just got a shitty cell phone pic from the club level, not a good quality pic.

It's 9:30 on the East Coast, and a few minutes ago the Rockies and Padres finished up their 22-inning marathon in San Diego, the longest MLB game in almost 15 years.  Colorado won 2-1, and how the hell you can only score three runs in 22 innings is a damn mystery to me.  Congratulations, National League, your version DH-less version of baseball is more pure.  And mind-numbingly dull.

The Rockies finally won 2-1, with Troy Tulowitzki's two-out RBI double bringing in Willy Taveras with an unearned run in nearly empty Petco Park. A game that lasted 6 hours, 16 minutes was decided by an unearned run.

Reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy threw the game's first pitch at 7:05 p.m. The game didn't end until 1:21 a.m., when Padres pitcher Glendon Rusch took a called third strike. Colorado's Yorvit Torrealba, who caught all 22 innings, wearily pumped a fist in celebration.

Big deal, I wearily pumped your mom.  Hold on, lemme check… yep, that's a burn.

In other, more exciting sports news involving long-ass games, the Flyers beat the Caps 4-3 in double-overtime to take a 3-1 series lead.  Hmmm… there was an exciting playoff hockey game, and I lead with the boring baseball game.  This is what happens when my editor is me.

It was all well and good making fun of Alex Rodrirguez for trying to steal the headlines from the World Series champions (here in NYC, A-Rod indeed got top billing on all the rags), but a World Series championship merits its own post even at baseball-eh blogs like With Leather.  Just for fun, here's a portion of the Boston.com recap of the 2004 Series, re-jiggered for 2007:

En route to eight seven consecutive postseason wins, the Sons of Tito Francona simply destroyed a Cardinal Rocky team that won a major league-high 105 21 of 22 games to close the season in 2004 2007. The Sox did not trail for a single inning trailed for only three innings of the four-game sweep. No Cardinal Rocky pitcher lasted more than six innings and St. LouisColorado's vaunted row of sluggers was smothered by the likes of Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez Josh Beckett, closer Keith Foulke Jonathan Papelbon, and Lowe Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Basically, it's the same story with less drama.  ALDS sweep, ALCS comeback, World Series sweep.  There just isn't the whole magic of the long-suffering fan base and the only Yankees subplot of the postseason is how they managed to stay in the headlines without playing any games.

So, yes: congratulations, Red Sox.  And bravo to the Rockies, who were a great story to have along the way.  If it's any consolation, the skiing in Colorado is still 8 million times better than anywhere in New England.

I was torn last night with wanting to see Dice-K earn the win, so I could post a picture of the lovely Yoko, and wanting to the Rockies win to stop an almost certain sweep by the Red Sox now, thus ensuring this will be the last time we gaze at lovely Yoko's  . . . eyes, yeah that's it, this year.  Too bad.  The Rockies made a valiant effort in the bottom of the 7th to tie the score, but fell short.  Just as I made a valiant effort to woo a woman wearing a demure school-girl costume at the Halloween party I was at last night, but prematurely . . . er, fell short.  If you'll kindly excuse me, I'm going to spend some time alone with my favorite gravure idol. -KD  

Even though the Rockies won, like, 200 straight games to get in the playoffs, then swept through their first two playoff series with seven straight wins, the World Series is basically over.  Only a bunch of times in history has a team rebounded from a 2-0 deficit, which the Rockies now face after losing last night in Fenway 2-1.  And certainly the Red Sox — a team with a long and storied history of playoff success — could never falter after opening up such an insurmountable lead.

Anyway, you can read all about Game 2 here.  Curt Schilling got the win with 5 and 1/3 innings pitched, so you can probably expect to see the word "gritty" located somewhere near his career playoff record and ERA. Other heroes were Mike Lowell (scored first run, drove in the other) and Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon, who closed down the Rox for the rest of the game with stellar performances out of the bullpen.

Finally, the most important news you can imagine: Jacoby Ellsbury stole a base in the fourth inning, so we all get a free taco from Taco Bell.  Details to follow!  OMG I can't wait!!!  It's almost as good as someone handing me 83 cents in loose change! 

Well, that wasn't pretty.  The Red Sox did everything right last night, and the Rockies looked rusty as hell in a 13-1 blowout.  Josh Beckett went seven strong with nine K's, and pretty much everybody in Boston's lineup hit a line-drive double, singled, and walked throughout the course of the game. Colorado starter Jeff Francis lasted only four innings, but at least he got out of the game before the floodgates opened in the fifth.  That's when the Sox put together seven runs — all with two outs — on a parade of line drives off of Franklin Morales.  Morales got the hook, and Ryan Speier came to the rescue… by issuing three bases-loaded walks.  And that's when I turned the TV off.

Anyway, in lieu of a still from Deliverance, this post is accompanied with video of Joe Buck dropping "Jub-Jub" on Chris Myers, courtesy Home Run Derby.  Myers joins an animated iguana as the only being ot get that moniker, while Conan O'Brien's charity of choice will soon be $1000 richer.  If there's such a thing as a "rich" charity.
