today is thursday 18 may 2006.
yesterday was "blue flu" day . . . the battle scars from my $1 bag of peanuts can be found at here. you can stop with the jokes--it's already humiliating to be one of the whitest in my family already.
i made two of three games--the two that dodgers won. tuesday night i would've gone, except this warrior was fighting a 100 degree fever instead of crowds at coors field . . . but i was well enough to make it yesterday.
many questions about the dodgers . . . so is baez or saito closing games these days? so what up with all the minor leagers--will some of them (like willy aybar) amount to anything? he wiffed pretty good yesterday. are the "old" guys lofton and kent really wearing out quicker than we had hoped, or was the altitude too much?
many questions about the rockies--will jennings pull it through tough situations again (100+ pitch count, two on, two outs--only to let garciapara of the dodgers get to him)? can the bullpen actually be good? will the rockies ever get their hitting stroke back?
many questions about baseball . . . the humidor has had a remarkable effect at coors field. runs have dropped dramatically. i went to three games--and the most a team scored was five runs. it seems the days of football-like scores and homers flying like pidgeons are done. rumor has it that balls are being left in the 70-degree 50 percent humidity locker even longer these days, hence the "more normal" baseball at coors.
i suggest baseball make a few changes to keep it exciting . . . like keeping all the balls (for all of major league baseball) in colorado without a humidor and then shipping out the balls to various ballparks before games. it'd be great if an "old coors field" game were played everywhere. and get a designated hitter for everyone--not just the american league. and shorten the fences--maybe 310 in the corner and 360 in the middle. this means the fields at coors would 35-40 feet shorter. and then maybe yesterday we would've gotten say 6 home runs instead of 1 . . .
