D-Back/Rockies Rivalry Grows!

Hey gang, I'm a regular poster over at the Purple Row, the Rockies SBN site. The Colorado Rockies have been running some very funny TV adds to promote the team. The latest one really speaks to the D-Back/Rockies growing rivalry. (which I find to be great, to have a respected and fun rivalry in sports)
In case you thought getting a horse head in your bed was scary, wait till you see this! (wait till the VERY end):

Baseball season, when everything becomes right in the world.

Don't mean to hate, but...
The ending makes no sense. In Godfather, the guy wakes up with his prized horse’s head in his bed. Here, an AZ player (sleeping in a full uniform including hat, hah) wakes up next to the Rockies mascot? Colorado killed their own mascot to show how serious they were? Or their mascot sleeps with players from other teams? What? Shouldn’t it have been a snake, or a snake head, or Baxter’s head, or something like that?
Probably (ok, definitely) getting a little too picky over a silly commercial. The “Holliday touched the plate” commercial from the related videos is decent

You can understand the confusion,
team rules forbade them from watching the uncut, rated R version for reference.
Watching the AMC version just isn’t the same.

Dinger
is a traitor. Trust me, we know this. He’s evil. So you’re right, it does make no sense.

Is there a mascot in baseball that doesn't suck?
I think its a legal requirement to hate your own mascot after the age of 5

Dude, shuddup.
Dinger sucks. The Rockies suck.
Besides—Stomper and Billy the Marlin are kinda tight?

BIG Purple Dinosaur
Now that sucks any way you look at it. Funny thing is, he sucks so bad, that it’s becoming sort of a joke. Like the funny drunk Uncle at Thanksgiving….he’s both loved and hated, and loved cause he’s hated.

Yeah.
Hate to tell ya this, but he looks like what happened when Barney molested/impregnated Baby Bop.
That having been said, the whole “dinosaurs under Coors Field” thing IS pretty sweet.

Yeah
and when Dinger came out…was at the height of Barney….BUT the Nuggets have one of the best mascots in Rockie (who I say should work Coors Field in his off season), so I guess it averages out.
Dino’s in the dirt is cool. (does slow down construction projects…I’m in construction, and excavation has to actually watch out for hitting bones) But what’s cooler: Coors Field is the only baseball park that serves Rocky Mtn Oysters!

No but I am
Most fans don’t even know we sell them.
And I’m actually old enough to consider them good. They taste like Gizzards by the way.

Funny
thx for posting…. I love the growing rivalry with the Rockies and hope it continues

It would help
if we looked capable of holding up our end of the bargain. Rivalries are more fun when both teams are actually good. You guys are there, we… are not.

I saw that
and laughed, but its not half as funny as the Mariners ‘Fungo’ advert. Seeing Miggy Batista come dancing in with a boombox cracks me up everytime.

That was cringe-worthy
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.

The Mariners ads are one of my favorite (non-Diamondback) things about baseball.

The Godfather is one of my favorite books
and if I never have to see another parody, it’ll be a day to soon.
The commercial really doesn’t make any sense, but then, it’s amusing so I guess it accomplishes what it’s going for.
