I went to the Cubs - Rockies game at Coors Field Saturday night with my friends Stuart and Mark. We started the evening at the Breckenridge Brew Pub. Stuart and I actually had dinner there the first night they opened, braving a below zero February evening. At the time (I think it was 1994) Coors Field was under construction just kitty corner from the place.
When we got to the ballpark, the line to get in was huge, made up mainly of Chicago Cubs fans anticipating a Cubs victory that night, not to mention another run for the World Series. And the fans were not disappointed, as the Chicago Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 7 to 2. The Rockies did not look good at all Saturday night.
And so as we left the ballpark to take the light rail train home, we saw the Cubs celebrating their victory in the infield. However, although the Cubs won the battle, it turns out that the Rockies won the war, so to speak - the Rockies took the series 3 games to 2. Of course, this year it appears the Cubs will once again be going to the playoffs, while the Rockies players will be safely able to schedule their golf vacations in October. So it is pretty obvious who gets the last laugh - at least this year, anyway.
