Turn on Your Heartlight: Rockies to Promote Blackmon

Word from the internet this afternoon suggests that the Colorado Rockies could very well promote Charlie Blackmon from Triple-A Colorado Springs, where he’s currently doing unspeakable things to Triple-A pitchers.

Blackmon, as the bespectacled reader is undoubtedly aware, was the captain of this year’s iteration of Team Joy Squad — an exercise in what is referred to by young men as “rosterbation” but what is referred to as “Ecstatic Truth Roster Construction” by the Puritan-rich sons of New England.

In any case, America, turn on your frigging heartlight, okay. Neil Diamond says so.

H/T: Like three people.





Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.

For more information on Blackmon, I’ve found this page to be pretty informative:

Yeah, Carson should do more copying and pasting and less of that non-analytical writing that just wastes space. ESPECIALLY on NotGraphs.

But smarmy prose is why NotGraphs exists.
