Saw the Rockies play the Astros there a few years ago when I was exploring some of the seedier side of Denver looking for Neal Cassady’s childhood haunts. As far as driving the regional highways, I also love dodging the bouncing beets out on Interstate 70.

There is no real gray area with Coors, you get humidor and pitching or, well.. not.

(Maybe we’re hearing one of those new portable O2 units under Ringolsby’s 10G head affectation.)

I hope you’re an over-the-road trucker listening on Sirus/XM. Otherwise, jeezus you’re old.

And if you can, take in a day game at Coors. The mountains in the back drop, the huge field, the life around the stadium….it’s what makes baseball great. The only place for domes is Florida. For the ‘sunshine state’ they sure have alot of rain.

The real problem is the lack of major league pitchers, not the way that they were being used.

That would help relieve some of the wear and tear on their pitchers, and it might cut down on all that background wheezing on their radio telecasts too.

Instead it improved. Divine intervention was not necessary.

Or was it the fact that the experiment was a complete failure?
