    Spent the week in Colorado driving a ford escape as a rental.  I do not recommend purchasing one of these if you have any intention of driving over 62 mph.  

    I’ll guess that if you flew into Denver, you’d have used silvercar, but was escape the only thing they had?  Even an edge has lots more power.

    I ctually think the drive back down is worse.  When you're on that last stretch of road, and you're on the outside (not next to the mountain, but inches away from a 1k foot plummet with no guard rail) is about as rough a drive as imaginable.  Luckily when I was making the drive back down it was so early no other cars were around so I drove in the lane next to the rock wall.  that is no doubt a white knuckle drive, but damn if it isn't the most scenic.  

    I’ve found that I prefer the uphill driving when doing mountain pass drives. Better to feather the accelerator than to stand on the brakes, less likely to head into a turn carrying too much speed.

    looks like we’ll end doing the Atlanta game. 1 pm game on a Monday because it’s a makeup game, should be lots of empty seats for the kids to chase foul or hr balls

    Situation is very much fluid, but Super K thinks we get all three of Alford, Eaton, and Princely U as of right now.

    Those 3, Collins, and Jordan and numbers begin to get tight if 20 really is the target.  A high school linebacker would be nice. 

  4. Looks like I’ll be driving down to Denver for a few days at the end of the month. Wife has a work thing in Arvada, my only appointment will be to take my kids to Coors Field. 

    Looking for hotel recs near the ballpark (I see the rec a few posts up) and food and museums/other shit in that area that are kid friendly. 

  5. If any Rockies fans or other frequent Coors Field visitors could tell me here or PM any recs about the place or seating.  Thinking either high up near home plate or right behind the bullpens. 

    Also, do Boston fans ruin games there as well?  The bos series would be easiest but we could do the braves makeup game that precedes it or the pirates game that follows.

    I still can’t fathom how they are taking 27 commits with 8 seniors 

    I can’t wait to see who else gets portaled, as they are all future all Americans according to aggy posters. Or the entire junior class will be HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to declare, except for mond, because I doubt he’s wanting to push out his recruits that are sophomores and freshmen this season.
