Late post, but today officially marks the eighth anniversary of my first article with @purplerow.bsky.social. It's insane to think of how far our little site has come, and I'm forever grateful for my staff. Our presence only continues to grow, and I can't wait to see what 2026 has in store for us! 💜

Why is it that whenever you’re about to be out of the office or you fall ill that so much shit hits the fan? Asking for a friend 😷

I recently discovered frozen (and then thawed) tofu and it's INCREDIBLE. Definitely one of my favorite things to cook with now, and I keep at least two blocks in my freezer at all times. 12/10, would recommend if you haven't tried it yet! 🍜

Winter in Phoenix is always so funny. Today was a high of 68, so you get a mix of locals who are bundled up in jeans and sweatshirts and snowbirds/non-locals who are wearing shorts, t-shirts and sandals 😆

I definitely agree that Jonathan Bailey should play Flynn Rider if they make a live-action Rapunzel. He has the swagger and the smolder to make it work better than probably any other actor ☀️

There are two things I find super frustrating when buying event tickets: 1. Not being able to buy a single seat, esp. not being able to buy a single aisle seat (or one over from the aisle). 2. Single tickets being more expensive per ticket than pairs of tickets. Single people attend events, too!

Posting this again to say that I was only a year off 🤷‍♀️ www.purplerow.com/2024/4/30/24...

The #Rockies announcement Warren Schaeffer will return as manager in 2026.

This is the right choice 👏🏻

Man, I forgot how much I hate driving on I-40 with all these stupid trucks 😐

Watching Grey's Anatomy for the 15,000th time, I can confidently say that April Kepner's wedding dress is the best and most beautiful wedding dress in the history of TV.

“A technical foul has been assessed to Indiana for an excessive timeout” 😆

The Valley is back and it’s perfect 🤩

Damn, the Suns kicked ass tonight! 🤣

Note: it was the only action he saw in this game

Charlie Condon has entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth and immediately hits a sharp liner right at the shortstop to end the inning.

One pitch, one out for Cade Denton in the Fall Stars Game. But then some traffic with a walk and a HBP, followed by a strikeout and another HBP to load the bases... Luckily, he got out of it unscathed with a flyout to center to end the inning. The National League trails 2-0 at the end of the 4th.

It’s extremely hard to work like this 😹

Since it’s #NationalCatDay, it’s time to roll out a classic.

"My biggest accomplishment is finishing out my first full year and still loving it ... I had an awesome group [in Spokane]." Learn more about Allison Krajewski, who made history in 2025 as the first female coach in Rockies history. #GoSpo 🔗 www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...

Tonight I learned that swing calls can also be challenged using ABS. This call was originally a “swing” but Nelly Taylor Jr. (Angels CF prospect) challenged and it was overturned. He also just got a base hit.

Spirit Halloweens pop up everywhere, but something about one being in what used to be an Old Spaghetti Factory is objectively hilarious 😂

The Toronto Blue Jays are America’s Team 🇨🇦

I got 5 hours of sleep last night and then spilled my (cold) coffee on my lap 5 min after I left my house (and did my laundry last night). And I was already late so we’re just dealing with it. And then I have nonstop meetings and classes all day from 8:30-4:30 bc it’s reg week. Happy Tuesday 🙃

Postgame note: #Rockies prospects Charlie Condon’s and Jared Thomas’ grand slams on Wednesday night marked the first time in Arizona Fall League history that two slams were hit in the same game (and both by the same org, which is cool). Not too shabby 👍

Additionally, Charlie Condon will finish his day 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout.

Things aren't looking as good for #Rockies LHP Welinton Herrera, who issued a leadoff walk followed by a single. Two men on with no outs here in the eighth so far, with the Rafters still leading 10-3.

That's a 1-2-3 fifth for #Rockies RHP Cade Denton. The Salt River Rafters are up 9-3 on the Glendale Desert Dogs out here in Goodyear.

I hate everything

I was hoping for two strikeouts or a traditional GIDP, but I’ll for these shenanigans 😂

October baseball ⚾️

I back, you back, we back RyMac 💜

Man, you know it’s October when you walk into a store and there’s a giant Halloween display on one side and a giant Christmas display on the other 😂

After watching part of the Red Sox/Yankees game yesterday, I think I've decided the Rockies should use a Dinger head as their home run celebration in 2026.
