Opening Day From a Couple Dozen Miles Away Last year, I was down amongst the drunken throng in Lower Downtown Denver to take in Opening Day. This year I am much more invested and interested in the team, but I am not there, rather up in my mountain residence enjoying my own pregame festivities.
Fox Sport Rocky Mountain has me right in the middle of things and the beer is just as fine out of my own fridge.
The sun is shining, the temps are in the low 60s and many of Denver's professionals are not manning their stations/phones/cubicles; instead opting for "the day you can suddenly be back in college again." Although the beer I drink was brewed in Milwaukee, my heart is with the Rockies and a place named for our local macroswill.
I assume a great showing by the offense. May Opening Day last all year long.....
