Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club, but the celebration was quickly squashed when the game was postponed due to an all-day, cold soaking rain. My friend Stuart and I attended that first game at Coors Field 20 years ago. It was Opening Day (Opening Night, actually), and it was cold as hell. The game lasted 14 miserable innings, until Dante Bichette ended it with a home run. Personally, I feel they should have played yesterday's game anyway. If the game was played last night, the miserable conditions of twenty years go would have been recreated almost exactly, giving today's fans a taste of what it was like. And how are the Rockies doing this year, you ask? Not half bad, although when they win it seems to be against poor or mediocre teams. When they play the better teams, they lose. Am I the only one who notices this disturbing pattern? Evidently. Everyone still talks about going to the playoffs when the Rockies beat doormat teams. Go figure.
