DENVER – It's a good thing baseball fans like to visit. Otherwise, Colorado's home finale would have been worse than it was.
After all, a 7-0 lead in the fourth inning (by which time the home team is on its third pitcher) can't be good. The final wasn't good either .. D-backs 13, the home team 4.
So how about a discussion about a peach muffin recipe? Or another one about the Rockies' good shortstop, Troy Tulo-whiskey.
How about a wonderful pregame salute to our servicemen and servicewomen, including a flyover from units based at the former Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora?
How about some knowledge about manicuring Coors Field? They cut the grass twice a day to keep it in playable shape.
That, plus the usual cries for Clint Hurdle's scalp and an afternoon-long hope that the game would finish promptly made for a fine afternoon.
But it wasn't the same as a year ago.
No sir.
