Last time I went to CO was a few years back (just to see where I was born) and my family and I went up pikes peak and some of the sand dunes. Fun stuff. We ended up watching braves/Rockies and the first time I ever saw Andruw live :lol:

As Smoney17 said, Jimenez won't be a nobody come year's end. He consistently hits 95 and higher and he throws a good breaking ball. His only problem is command, yet he showed great command in his first start. Also, I don't think Street is all that great. I think Corpas will have won the job by March.

Sorry I couldn't meet you at the game, I ended up going to a Sky Sox game down in the Springs instead. Enjoy the city!

Thanks for all the kind words, fellas....

As for Jiminez, I agree that he could have a breakout year......the "nobody" comment was more meant to be directed at current popularity......we'll see how well he does in today's start at Wrigley.....

Huston Street looked horrible as did Corpas.....Rockies had a 5-1 lead behind Cook and their bullpen blows it!!!

It is kinda cool that me and my son got autos of Lidge and Street and then got to watch both pitch......also really cool to see Dexter Fowler, Chase Utley, and Matt Stairs (he's still playing????????????) all go yard.....

More about the game......it rained the entire game!!!! Temps in the high 30s-low40s..................not a downpour but a steady drizzle for 3+ hours. I'll post some pictures when I get back....

Hoping to do a lot of other cook stuff while we're here.....dinosaur museum, aquarium, etc........will be making a trip to Mikes Stadium Cards as well...

Thanks to all that helped my out, gave suggestions, especially Bombjack and Brice......

I heard it didn't even snow yesterday in Denver, that's lucky... we got dumped on here in C.Springs!

I also heard that the SkySox game was cancelled, but I guess not?

Yeah, no snow in Denver at all.......I'm staying in Elizabeth (south of Denver) and got 3 inches or so here.....

The game yesterday had to be canceled in the Springs, because it did indeed dump snow. I drove from the Springs back to Fort Collins and listened to the Rox game on the radio. I was actually refering to the Sky Sox game on Saturday. It was cold as hell, and there is no way that the attendance was the reported 1700 people, but I had fun.
