Gotcha
Does anyone know who the blond-headed fella is behind Huston Street in the “Staring Contest” commercial? I’ve been trying to figure it out all year. He looks like Jason Jennings.

Is this an official game if the rain cans it? Would be a cheap way to get #11, but I won’t complain.

Just reading online that w00t and +1 came from Dungeons & Dragons, is that true?
If so, I will definitely have to stop using them.

here in Denver this month has been very strange. Haven’t seen anything like it since I’ve moved here.

chance of nasty storms every day

I haven't seen anything like it ever in my life
I’m 20, and I’ve lived here forever. I’ve never seen so much rain, save for the Ft. Collins flood in 1997. It’s crazy.

The bad weather usually stays to the south and east of us. I’m five miles east of Ft. Collins, 7 miles north of Windsor.

If you're anywhere in North Denver, you should make sure you get somewhere indoors.

NO
under passes create a pressure situation, and you can get sucked out. Most of the fatalities that happened in the OKC May 5th tornado was from those in under passes
the safest place in Coors Field would be under the stadium…and out in the field where it’s lower than the ground around it.

Holy smokes
That was a shot. I’ve watched a lot of Cubs games, and I’ve never seen one like that. We had the old Primestar satellite when I was little. We didn’t get channel 2, since they didn’t have local channels on the satellite in those days. We always got WGN, though. Chip Caray and Steve Stone were my favorites. The Cubs really did Stone wrong. He’s a tremendous broadcaster. I watched the Cubs every afternoon. I was so mad when they went to night games and cable TV.
