I went to Coors Field yesterday afternoon with my friend Mark - seen in the photograph above - and sister Susan to watch the Colorado Rockies play the Cincinnati Reds. It was a close game until the top of the 9th inning, when the Rockies were one out away from a win. Then two relief pitchers gave up 6 - count 'em - 6 runs and the Rockies lost by a score of 12 to 7. They are now 4 and 6 over the last 10 days, and have lost five games in a row, but there are still two team currently worse than them - the Miami Marlins and my South Side heroes, the Chicago White Sox, who have lost 13 games in a row, including last night to their North Side rivals, the Chicago Cubs. And so, this season my baseball hopes have been reduced to attending one game the Rockies actually win, and to see the White Sox win at least one more game this season, preferably against the Cubs.
