Heeb Watch: NLCS Edition

A few weeks back, I asked, "Why are so many people wondering whether Rex Grossman observes the Sabbath?"

Well, I've been checking the SiteMeter again, and as it turns out, everyone's wondering the same thing about Troy Tulowitzki and Bob Melvin.

Not to be a stereotypin' sonovabitch, but I realize it's kind a big thing when a Jew breaks into the sports big-time. Yet I'm still confused by the incredible fascination. Help a gentile out, anyone?

As far as tonight's game, go Team Tulo-vit-zki. As Paul mentioned last week, the Rockies' fan base really deserves some respect, and as grouchy as I get about feel-good stories, I'm impressed that the Rockies' organization has evidently solved the weirdness of their geography to build a fine team. Part of me longs for the Blake Street Bombers of old, but I know that's a time gone-by, and these new-generation Rocks are just as excellent to watch.
