I originally posted a diary explaining how my trip to Denver came to be in the first place here.

We arrived in Denver on Friday around noontime and proceeded to our hotel. I didn't know that Denver was so flat. I was about to call BS on the whole Rocky Mountains thing. I didn't learn until later that the Rockies were covered in fog.

After a brief stop to unpack and get our Padres gear in order. We headed out to the ballpark. As we approached, I could hear the faint sound of unicorns and cats.

Good to see some things haven't changed since we left home.

The Purple Row marks one mile above sea level. It goes all the way around Coors Field.

If the Rockies can have fountains, I say the Padres build a tank for Shamu under the batters eye.

Instead of fountains, a waterfall and trees; maybe a tank large enough to hold Shamu and his/her friends. I suppose the foilage would be a great place for unicorns to romp.

I did get a chance to meet some of the fellas and at the same time got a few signatures during BP. I asked Miles about his knee and said he was feeling great. He came off the DL on Sunday. Scott Hairston came off the DL on Saturday and says he's ready too. Termel Sledge didn't talk much.

Here's one for the 17yo Girl Possy

Some of the Friar Faithful stuck in Denver.

The Rockies Mascot "Dinger". Knocks small kids over with its tail leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Stupid Dork.

Petco has the hat game where you try to guess which hat the ball is under. Coors has garbage trucks. Garbage trucks? Only thing missing is the flies and stench.

Trevor Time at Coors Field (Saturday Night)

Pepe Negro bragging about Saturday's game.

After the game, Kouz stuck around to sign and converse with family and friends. I asked him if he ever got a chance to go home and vist. He said that he didn't have time and that there'll be plenty of time in the off-season. What a guy.

Ever wonder where dog food comes from?

Even though the Padres didn't take the series, we still had a great time and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks for checking out my pictorial.
