The weather here in Colorado has been beautiful this week and another bright, sunny, warm day awaits those fortunate enough to live in the 45th greatest state. That was a joke Colorado natives, calm down. Seriously, Colorado has to be one of the top 5 states, if not the top state in the USA. Sorry Michigan.
Anyway, I'm heading to Coors Field for the final time in 2010 today. I was hoping there would be post-season ball at the beautiful ballyard on 20th and Blake. But the current swoon by the Rockies (L 8 of 9) has put an end to that hope. The Dodgers formally eliminated the Rockies from post-season consideration with a 9-7 victory last night.
When I walk out of the park I'll have some sadness knowing I won't be back until next year, Friday April 1st to be exact, againt the Diamondbacks. It will be nice to celebrate my birthday on Opening Day! It will also give the Rockies ample time to figure me into their Opening Day/BR's Birthday festivities.
Maybe the main reason I'll be sad later today is the knowledge that the Rockies should have made it to the post-season. From top to bottom, I'm convinced the Rockies are the best team in the NL West. They just gave away too many games, couldn't get the job done on the road and too many guys had off-seasons (Helton, Francis, Cook, Barmes, Stewart, Ianetta and Hawpe when he was here).
If I were Dan O'Dowd, there would be three untouchables on this team as far as trades go...Ubaldo Jimenez, Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzales. Everyone else can be had for the right price.
Yep, today will be a nice day for a ballgame.
