Was snowing there a bit ago when Mad Dog was interviewing Bud Black, so not sure the game will be played today.

 

[Enscheff]

It is beyond stupid to schedule home games outside the division at places like Colorado. The Braves will only go there once this year, so a snowed out game will be hard to make up.

Colorado should be playing NL West teams at home the first month of the season so they can easily make up snowed out games at a later date.

MLB scheduling is so stupid. All games early in the year should be in domes or west/south teams.

 

[thewupk]

wow 26 degrees there. that's absurd

 

[Nerfherders]

It's the Rockies home opener so I'm guessing the game will be replayed tomorrow, same time, and a double header with the game I'm going to tomorrow night. But yeah, I want them to come here literally any other weekend than this one. Tickets are pricey, too many Rockies fans, and the weather here is dicey until about Mid May.

Perfect. Sat through many a miss state baseball game this temp in February. It is tough

 

[SJ24]

Looks like we're gonna play.

This is awesome.

****. Just saw a weather delay tweet.

It's rough playing in that crap. Sitting there is even worse.

hope no one gets hurt...hard to stay loose in this kind of weather

Wind chill temp=14 with snow. I wouldn't play in that weather- injuries abound.

Decision on play or not at 4:30

Chip may blow a gasket with all that snow out there...

Kind of terrible of them to make the fans all come out to the ballpark in that kind of weather just to tell them to go home again 20 minutes after the game was to start. Then again, they're Coloradans, so this is probably nothing for them.

Plenty of things to do in LoDo if the game gets postponed. Not like they have to drive all the way out to the suburbs ...

 

[SJ24]

They're gonna play!

Opening pitch is at 5:10 ET.

Woo hoo

 

[Hulavol]

Tarp coming off...

 

[Hulavol]

Whoo Hoo!

Kelsey looks awfully cold..

 

[DaneHill]

Well, this oughta be entertaining. In a Battle of Hoth kind of way.
