Pretty field, poorly built dome
After Cliff Floyd's walk-off in the 9th.
Had a chance to go a game in St. Pete between the White Sox and the Rays. Thank goodness TB won with a Cliff Floyd walkoff! I know it's not Cubs, but it was fun. I had never been to a game in a dome before, I've been to Houston and ARZ with the roof closed, but thats different
At the game
Sign I'll be holding at the Cubs/Rockies game on Wednesday night
Game of Numbers: Cubs Infield vs. Colorado
Baseball is a game of numbers. At least, that's what I was always coached and with the Cubs recent offensive surge and so many players swinging a hot bat, the query becomes "who does Lou start in Denver?" You make the call!
So lets break things down!
I'm trying to figure out how much I should blame Lilly
I know Ted Lilly has not been pitching well by any means and even when we think he's off to a good start, he gives up a 5-spot in the bottom of the 4th in Pittsburgh. But to his credit, other than that 12 inning win (no decision for Lilly), Ted has not gotten hardly any run support.

Feeling good about the weather
I am feeling very confident about the weather for Wednesday night's 6:35 opening pitch in Denver.
As of current (6:42 on Monday) there is only a 10% chance of rain with a high of 77 and an overnight low of 44 degrees. Since I don't have any classes on Wednesday or articles due for Thursday's paper, I think we'll be spending the
better part of the afternoon in LoDo.
Section 127.
Projected Starters:

Rich Hill (1-0)

Frankin Morales (1-1)
April 23rd vs. the Rox
I was just wondering if any other BleedCubbieBlue readers in Colorado were traveling to the game next Wednesday night in Denver? I am coming down from Colorado State for the game, so I just thought I'd throw out a query. If you do happen to be going, where, roughly, are your seats? Mine are behind home plate about 30 rows on the 100 level (21st birthday gift). I'll be traveling down that afternoon with my girlfriend for a great day at the ballpark.
See you there!
