Peaks & Valleys - August 11 - Rockies Lose Close One To Mets

The Rockies finally arrived in my neighborhood ... and lost the first game of the series. Ubaldo Jimenez and Mike Pelfrey matched each other frame for frame except for the seventh when Jimenez allowed a run on a Jose Reyes sac fly.

None of that tonight, as I'll be sitting in the Pepsi Porch section of the stadium. The last time the Rockies won in New York I was at that game (second game of a double-header in last year's series). Good luck charm? Hardly, but it sure is nice when the Rockies win when I am in attendance.

Of course, I'm waiting for the day when the Rockies play the Yankees for the World Series. That'd be sweet!
