coors light
This place isn't nearly as crazy as it was when I was working here from 1995-2000. I think it's because the Rockies pitchers have learned to stay focused and not let the craziness affect them as much. Thus, they have pitched better, which in turn has cut down on the beer-league softball scores. But there is one thing that hasn't changed.
Games played in early twilight here (and for some reason, they are starting at 6:35 local time this year) create havoc for the first baseman taking throws from third and short. The middle and upper decks extend only to deep left field, leaving nothing behind the lower concourse in the leftfield corner except the setting sun. That's what appeared to happen on Olmedo Saenz's throwing error in the first inning. Although the throw was wide, I believe Nomar could have reached and snared it had the sun not gotten in his eyes. At any rate, it cost the Dodgers an unearned run.

Tony,
Thanks for the blog. I'm glad this is not second hand news. You probably get a landslide of emails from your fans. Tell Gagne, "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow."

Can we get some Dodger draft coverage? 3 picks in the top 31, draft 3 weeks away, maybe try and get an interview with Logan White on the upcoming draft.
