We all know who made last week's Sports Illustrated cover. Jimmy Rollins and the Phillies coincidentally haven't won since. So credit Rockies fans for being proactive and begging Sports Illustrated a few days ahead of time to refrain from putting Matt Holliday on this week's cover.
From the blog, And Here Comes the Pretzels, here's a portion of the plea:
"Dear Editors of Sports Illustrated,Unfortunately I have bad news to report. See below. Arizona in 6.
I know what you're about to do.
Don't.
Let me say that again:
Do. Not. Do it.
You're going to want to put the Colorado Rockies on the cover this week with a cute little tagline; something along the lines of "Rocktober" or "Rocky Mountain High" or "Purple Philly Eaters." You will drape the borders in purple and black, and you may or may not have a nice, detailed close-up of the raspberry on Matt Holliday's chin all cropped and ready to go. It's the biggest story of the playoffs thus far and, naturally, you want to take advantage."
