Thoughts & Experiences from the Mile High City
This is a sad day for track. People were not paying attention in one of the more dangerous sports of track and field and an athlete was struck by a javelin.
The race officials were not doing their job in running the event or protecting the participants.
Balmy Weather May Bench a Baseball Staple – New York TimesIt will be a sad day if the ash trees are lost and can’t be used as baseball bats anymore.The use of the moth to help control the beetle is one that I think may work. There have been successes in controlling other invasive species. The scientists just need to make sure the moth will cause other damage.
Well they have a wonderful series and sweep the Yankees, including the previous 7 series.
They then go to Toronto and lose on Friday night, a game they should have won. And then get killed the next two games, games they had no chance.
Then tonight, they were down 8-3 going to the Top of the 9th and come up with 6 runs, capped off with a home run by Tulowitski. But then in the bottom of the 9th, they give up two runs on some weird plays and lose 10-6.
They are driving me crazy.
The offense is there, but the pitching has disappeared. The pitchers need to step up and make things right so the team can start the run again. They are playing teams that they should be beating, so they need to get it done.

Does anyone care about this sporting event?
This used to be a big event with the Americans winning for many years in a row. But since other countries have begun to dominate the event, it seems to have slipped to obscurity. A sport for rich people.
I doubt there will be much coverage of this in the United States this time around.
The Colorado Rockies beat the New York Yankees again tonight, 6-1.
It was an amazing night and a lot closer than the score shows. Up until the sixth inning, it was 0-0 and a classic pitchers duel.
But in the sixth, the Yankees put together a couple of hits and got a run across. But in the bottom of the sixth, Matt Holliday crushed a 442 foot home run up onto the concourse in left field to give the Rockies the lead for good. Continue reading “Rockies Defeat the Yankees Again!”
Comcast had been broadcasting the Colorado Rockies home games in High Definition and then all of the sudden when the New York Yankees come to town, they don’t do it.
What is up?
Comcast has got to be one of the worst cable providers. They do weird stuff and want more money to do anything.
Come on Comcast. Get with it and carry the Rockies in HD!
The Colorado Rockies played an incredible game tonight and beat the New York Yankees 3-1 in a well played game on both sides.
Josh Fogg lead the Rockies holding them to only one run that was scored on a ground-out early in the game. The pitching tonight was capped with a strike-out of Johnny Damon by Fuentes to get the save.
Taveras got the scoring going when he scored on a single by Atkins and Torrealba capped the scoring with a home run to right-center field.
The sell-out crowd kept drowning out the Yankees fans in the crowd who tried to rally the visiting team. Let’s Go Yankees turned to Let’s Go Rockies!
Way to go Rockies and lets go get them tomorrow night.
The U.S. Open was by far more fair to the golfers today than yesterday.
If you hit it in the fairway and hit the greens, you could score. If you didn’t, you were penalized. That is the way it is supposed to be.
Tiger Woods did a great job of course management until the 18th hole. He just missed some puts he should have made earlier in the round. Aaron Baddeley had a wonderful round including getting a birdie on the last hole.
It is going to be a fun day tomorrow with Woods and Baddeley in the last group.
The U.S. Open is supposed to be a tough, but fair test, but it is not being fair today.
But with scores soaring today and players unable to keep their approach shots on the green, it is not a fair test for the players.
If you are in the fairway and land the ball at the front of the green and it is so fast that it rolls off the back, then it is not fair.
The U.S. Open has gone too far in this U.S. Championship. Make it fair so it is fun for the players and fans.
