I promise that the Rockiescast blog isn’t turning into a really ineffective marketing tool for The Baseball Show.  Friend of the ‘Cast Ted Berg passed this episode along to us recently, and I figured it was worth showing to fellow Rockies fans.  It’s Ted’s interview with Melvin Mora during the Rockies’ recent trip to Citi Field.  In it, Melvin recounts his time with the Mets a decade ago with vivid clarity.  Granted, most Major Leaguers probably can probably recollect all kinds of things about their early days in the Bigs.  But I think Mora’s words here paint him as a very down-to-earth guy and a loyal teammate, even after all these years of life in the Majors.

And of course, it’s worth noting that while this interview was being conducted in the Rockies’ dugout, Jason Giambi was blasting Madonna in the clubhouse.

Just a few days ago, I would have leaned towards the Cardinals’ Brendan Ryan for the September BotM. That would have been the second Cardinal this season to take home the much coveted title. Unfortunately for the young shortstop, there was some stiff competition for the September Beard of the Month.  Brendan “Old Timey” Ryan was just one of a trio of Cardinals, also including Jason LaRue Manchu and Ryan “June BotM” Franklin, that could have taken home the title.  There was a very solid, late effort put in by Joe Beimel.  When it comes to having awesome facial hair, as long as you are in the discussion you should consider yourself a winner, but alas, there can only be one Beard of the Month.

Not surprisingly, as he has been doing since joining the Rockies, Jason Giambi comes through with the game, or in this case the award, on the line. The Giambi Stache has proven to be a great compliment to Giambi Smash, a game that he likes to play when in the batter’s box. After time in the Yankees organization, where he was limited to a traditional (but still awesome) mustache, he has since passed through Oakland to ultimately make his way to a better place, where man and facial hair can live together in harmony. We certainly hope Jason will keep up the awesome work, both on his face and at the plate, as he helps pave the way to the best Rocktober yet.

His name is Jason
He’s our pinch hitter
An awesome ‘stache upon his face
He finds his ways to get on base
Since on the Rockies
You cannot beat him
In his first three trips to the plate
He has been nothing short of great
He started with a roar
Already drove in four
He’s already helped us to win three games
Who can ask for more?

Cuz he’s Jason
Jason Giambi
I watch him get hits on my TV
Because he’s Jason
Jason Giambi
Games are more fun when he’s driving in runs
Because of Jason… the Rockies won
