Close, But No Cigar
And I told her, I said
“Hey! Are we playing horseshoes, honey?
No, I don’t think we are!
You’re close!
But no cigar!”
-Weird Al Yankovic
It was a beautiful day at the ballpark and we got Weird Al into the blog… we almost had the trifecta.

“Deep inside the forest is a door into another land,
Here is our life and home,
We are staying, here forever in the beauty of this place all alone,
We keep on hoping…”

The song above doesn’t have anything to do with the game tonight, but it seems appropriate since we are in Denver.
