Rockies win 4-1

It's 3 games to none and Eric Byrnes trash talk has come back to haunt him. The Rocks, rock on. Yorvit Torrealba hit a 3 run home run in the 6th inning to ice it. Matsui played a great game once again. Yes, the Rollin' Rockies took a 3-0 series lead with their 20th win in 21 games. They will try to sweep the Diamondbacks on Monday night when Franklin Morales faces Arizona's Micah Owings in a matchup of rookies who have never faced each other's teams.

Since last night Nancy and I watched the rain fall and wondered, will they cancel the game. The game time temperature hovered at 43 degrees - and quickly dipped into the 30s - and with a light drizzle falling, the crowd showed up wearing fleece jackets, gloves, wool caps and scarves, looking like they were headed for the ski slopes west of Denver, where it was indeed snowing. Or, worse yet they looked like they were headed to a Bronco game in December. It's a good thing the Broncos weren't playing this Sunday.
