Extra Bases — Here’s how the 2007 World Series might have looked in Super Mario World. I wonder if it would have gotten better ratings.

World Series + Mario Bros. = Hilarious
Red Sox Monster - MassLive.com — In what will likely be our last post with the " 2007 World Series " tag, Eric Wilbur shows off a video that's a must-see: An artistic version of the Super Mario Bros ., starring the Colorado Rockies, Boston Red Sox and various other Major League Baseball teams. On the upside, I'd much rather have the Red Sox get compared to King Koopa than the Yankees. So much more... original.

Super Mario Rockies
Center Field — Best. Rockies. Video. Ever. Not that I've watched many Rockies videos- or any Rockies videos at all. But I know without having ever seen another single Rockies video, that this one wins. Trust me. Hat tip to Eric Wilbur ...

Wednesday Morning Rockpile: Rally Day!
Purple Row — The Rockies didn't quite get far enough for a parade, but a downtown rally in support of the team has been scheduled for today. My Red Sox rooting counterpart and co-blogger at Yahoo!, Dan Lamothe, pointed out this hilarious interpretation of the Rockies run to the World Series: We'll get Bowser next season, so long as the Monforts put a few more quarters in. LaTroy Hawkins had his option declined, but wants to return. The Post treats the story as if the Rockies were doing him some massive injustice with this move, but it's just the business of baseball. Hawkins was hired as an ...

Public Knowledge
Josh Q. Public —   Josh Q. Public:  Those who have knowledge, don’t predict.  Those who predict, don’t have knowledge.  -Lao Tzu Public Knowledge: 1.  All I’m saying pretty baby.  La la love you, don’t mean maybe.  Apparently Joe Torre has agreed in principle to a three-year deal worth $14.5 million and could be introduced tomorrow as the Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Good for him.  Good for the Dodgers.  If one of the top managers in baseball is on the market, and yours ain’t ...

The Rockies ran out of star power
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. — I have never seen a more clear visual representation of a team getting hot only to get swept when it matters most. This is brilliant. And Mario is in it. Rawk. {HT: RSM.} Tags: Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, Mario

THE NICKELODEON: COLORADO ROCKIES - THE MARIO STORY
Epic Carnival — So how is it that the Rockies smoked the Phillies, violated the Padres and skinned the Diamondbacks, but fell completely apart when they reached the World Series and had to face the Red Sox? Mario will tell you it's because their star ran out.Watch Super Mario Spilborghs ... after the jump. (Credit Red Sox Monster with the find.) ...

The 2007 Rockies, a Nintendo Documentary
FanHouse — ... Playoffs, MLB VideoHonestly, I can't believe how well that video sums up Colorado's 21-1 run before getting swept in the World Series. I just hope the Geroge Mitchell doesn't come around asking too many questions about that mushroom or the star -- the last thing the Rockies need to worry about is a 25-game suspension hanging over their head.(via Deadspin, Red Sox Monster, Ballhype and probably others ...) Permalink | Email this ...

The Rockies according to Mario
Opposite Field — Syndicate this site The World's Worst | Main | Constant change is here to stay The Rockies according to Mario Posted by Bob Coatsworth on October 31, 2007 The story of the 2007 Colorado Rockies according to Super Mario Brothers: Can't wait for Mario's rendition of A-Rod saga. It should be pretty simple to recreate. He'll start a short run forward until he's lined up in front of the logo of whatever team decides to sign him, then he'll jump up and bang his head off a coin block. And he'll just do that all day. More Red Sox if you can stand it... • When the World Series coincides with Halloween it makes for ...
