Coping in Colorado
It was just another regular season game. In 162 games I expect the Rockies to lose. They are considered a decent team if they lose half of their games. Why am I so upset? Why do I get so riled up about this stuff? I care, that's why. I am beginning to believe that I care too much. This is not a bandwagon fan, getting off when the road becomes bumpy. This is my life. All I ever do is watch baseball and I enjoy my life because of that. However I am worried that I am too invested in baseball and especially the Rockies. I choose to stay home and watch the game instead of going out with my friends, it is sick. I am transferring out of CU so I can go to Metro and be a Sports Industry major. My walls are decorated in Rockies memorabilia, I collect the sports page on a regular basis and I allow my mood to be defined by the way a game is played. It's getting too intense.
This past series against the Royals was of no help to myself either. We played sloppy, errors and missed opportunities all over the place. It was hard to watch. Aaron Cook is still looking for that 11th win, but with the officiating that took place in tonights game he was lucky to only surrender 4 runs, not all earned. Rough. It was rough and I don't even want to get too deep into it. I'm sad and disturbed.

I can sympathize so much with your feelings. Last year, I complained to my youth minister that she should have moved our Wednesday night meeting to Tuesday because the first WS game was on a Wednesday--but she brought in a TV and bunny ears and we got the game. That was awesome--except the outcome. But even now I have a paper bag full of Sports sections from the paper to cut out and put on my wall, and I have that SI with Jeff on the cover still. I actually wrote a poem about baseball. And, of course, I live and die with the Astros, and across the country with the Rockies.
Okay, since you live in Colorado, tell me about Colorado School of Mines. I have heard from many that it has the best geology program in the country. Do you know anyone who goes there or who went there? What did they think?

Yeah, baseball's rough, isn't it? My Padres are doing so badly right now that I just have to back off and not put myself into them so much. I really care about them, but it hurts too much to be so attached when things are so bad. I am one of those sun and rain fans. I can't back off when things are hard. Well, the only thing we can do is keep cheering for our sad teams. And, who knows? This NL West is so weird, anything can happen. Hang in there!!
