I went with my friend Mark to see the Chicago Cubs-Colorado Rockies game Tuesday night at Coors Field, located in historic Lower Downtown Denver. The previous night's game was rained out, and so the teams played a day-night doubleheader Tuesday afternoon and evening. Back in the good old days, you could see a doubleheader with one ticket, but these days, when maximizing revenue is the main goal, that has become a thing of the past. In any case, it turned out to be a very pleasant evening despite predictions of more severe storms. The Rockies won the afternoon game, but unfortunately that seemed to tire them out, because they lost to the Cubs 8 to 1 in the nightcap, and it wasn't as close as it sounds. On the bright side, the Rockies won 2 out of 3 from the Cubs, and the sportscasters are already saying this is beginning to look like a "very special" season. But it is still May, guys. Talk to me in September.
