Well, the Colorado Rockies suck! But, I love going to the games. Yesterday, I tried to plan a family trip down to the ball part to enjoy a nice afternoon together. There happened to be a ticket package I found that was $79 for four tickets in the 100s, 4 hot dogs, 4 fountain drinks and parking. Good price for a family afternoon together.
As I’m getting ready to talk to my wonderful husband about it, he lets me know that his office is having a “office day” at the Rockies game on the same day. Families were invited. I said well, I have this deal, can we just use that. But, everyone had to sit in the same section so we had to wait to see what they got for us.
$84 for the four tickets, $14 for parking and then of course the ridiculous ball park prices for food. AND THE ROCKIES LOST!
Ok, I’m not so surprised by that last part. They lose. They lose A LOT. The Houston Astros apparently aren’t that bad of a team either. It was doomed from the very beginning! But it was a good time. We hung out. We ate ball park food (the pulled pork nachos – HORRIBLE – don’t ever get them if you ever find yourself at Coors Field!) and we cheered along and clapped our hands and danced and sang all the songs that came on. All the normal ball park activities.
And, since my husband felt so bad about not getting the deal I wanted before I knew it was work day at the park, he made sure to rub in a couple of times that if we did that, we would have been sitting in the sun the whole time and where we were sitting, we were at least in the shade. Such a butthead!
We left in the 8th inning with the Rockies down 8-3. The Rockies scored one more run in the 8th and that was the final score; 8-4.
It is not much fun being a fan of a team that is consistently bad even though you don’t live in that city and it is even worse when the team of the city you do live in is consistently bad, too! I NEED some winning closer!
And, what makes it even worse is Colorado teams always beat my teams. No matter how good my team is and how bad the Colorado team is – my teams can’t win here!
