1st Game at Coors Field
This was a good game. Two Red hitters, Aaron Boone and Ken Griffey Jr,. both went yard before the Rockies exploded. In the 4th inning Larry Walker hit a 3 run home run. Walker then again stepped up to the plate with 2 runners on. Walker was intentionally walked for Todd Helton. Helton then took a pitch to left field for a grand slam. All home runs in this game, which is always great.

2nd Game at Coors Field
Nelson Figueroa was called up to pitch earlier in the morning pitching 6 innings of work. Home plate umpire Brian O'Nora made one of the worst calls I think I have ever seen. Garrett Atkins slid around the tag and touched home plate and he was called out. Rockies manager Clint Hurdle came out to argue and was slamming on the plate with his hands. I got back to grandma and grandpa's house and Sports Center replayed the call over and over again.

5th Game at Coors Field
Rain was the answer in this game. It started raining about an hour away from game time. I didn't think we would get the game in. The sun finally came out just before game time. Troy Tulowitzki was hammering everything, he needed a triple for the cycle. This was a beating by the Rockies as they won 8-2.
