My friend Mark and I took a packed light rail train down to Coors Field yesterday afternoon to watch the Colorado Rockies play the St. Louis Cardinals. It was a beautiful day in Denver, very fall-like, but after the Rockies won the first two games against the Cards, each by a score of 2 to 1, both Mark and I had a feeling this was going to be the Cardinals day. And we were right - the Cardinals won 10 to 3. The Rockies used nine pitchers and took 4 hours to lose that contest. The strangest part of the game was when the action was stopped in the middle of an at-bat and both teams went to their dugouts for about 20 minutes. There was no explanation whatsoever, and eventually the game resumed. What was that all about? Time for a power nap? A union mandated tea break? No - wait. That would be UK cricket. Just another one of the mysteries of baseball, I guess. And by the way, with yesterday's loss, the Colorado Rockies are officially eliminated from playoff contention. Wait until next year, guys!
