Mile High temperatures

It is smokin' hot here, and unusually humid, with some afternoon clouds rolling in. I remember from when I lived here (1995-2000) that during the hottest part of the summer, it seems to cloud up and rain at least a little bit almost every afternoon. We should be fine by 7:05, though, when Eric Stults takes the hill against Kip Wells, who is making his first start after a stint on the DL with a blood clot in his right hand. Very important for the boys to carry the emotion of yesterday's ninth-inning rally into this series, because these Rockies are good enough to get back into this race if you let them -- and assuming the Cubs handle the D-backs this week, a three-game sweep of the Dodgers would put the Rox in the thick of everything.
