Dodgers vs. Rockies

This afternoon we made our first trip to Coors Field to watch the Dodgers play the Rockies. For us, going to Coors Field would be like Roosevelt going to Tokyo in 1942, into the belly of the beast. Despite moving to Denver, we still have a distinct loathing of nearly all Denver professional teams; the Rockies, Broncos, and Avalanche are all at the bottom of the list. I suppose the only team we will give a pass too is the Rapids (the soccer team). The Dodgers beat the Rockies on Friday, 11-6 and Saturday, 12-7; so it figures that the day we go and see the game, the Dodgers lose 2-7. In any event, the game started off sunny and warm, but as clouds rolled in, the temperature cooled and the climate became more comfortable. Even though we are not familiar with Denver, we actually figured out a way to get to parking with zero traffic hassles, which was nice. Since the Dodgers lost, I can't say we really enjoyed ourselves, but it was still a fine afternoon. The seats seem tighter than Dodger Stadium, but we managed.
