Snowed out!!

Rockies-Braves game snowed out
Thursday's tickets remain valid for June 16 makeup date

DENVER -- Snow forced the postponement of Thursday afternoon's Braves-Rockies game at Coors Field. It has been rescheduled for June 16.
The Rockies were looking to complete a sweep of the four-game set. Instead, they have a day off and will travel to meet the Diamondbacks in a three-game series that starts on Friday night. It will open a nine-game road trip.

Rockies left-hander Jeff Francis, scheduled to start on Thursday, has been pushed back to Friday. It'll be a rematch for Francis, who gave up five runs and 12 hits, including three home runs, in a 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks at Coors Field on April 5.

It's the second postponement of the season for the Rockies, whose March 31 opener on the road against the Cardinals was called after 2 1/3 innings because of rain. Francis pitched that day, and trailed, 5-1, when it was called. All statistics from that day were washed away, as well.

Thursday's snowout also gave the Rockies a break. Because the opener was moved to the following day, which was originally an off-day, the Rockies were supposed to play 13 straight days. Now they get to rest Thursday, play three against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field, have another off-day on Monday, then embark on a stretch of games on 16 straight days, beginning with three-game sets against the Padres and the Astros. They return to Coors Field on April 21 against the Phillies at 6:35 p.m. MT.

The Rockies had beaten the Braves in three straight games to salvage a home-schedule-opening stand that began with them suffering a three-game sweep at the hands of the Diamondbacks.

Tickets for Thursday's game will be valid on June 16, but they may also be exchanged for any game the rest of the season, value for value. Discounted tickets may be exchanged for only the amount paid. All exchanges, which must be made by the first pitch of the makeup date, will be accepted at the Coors Field ticket office and all Rockies Dugout Stores. Call (303) ROCKIES for information.

The National League Championship Replica Trophy giveaway also has been moved to June 16.

SNOW IS EVIL!!

It can be....

When I heard this, I laughed, but now the weather here says snow Saturday. I should have kept my laughing mouth shut

ah, spring! if it's not tornadoes, it's a blizzard!

Last time a Tigers game was snowed out was April 24, 2005 versus Minnesota; Rain and Snow postponed the game the day before also.

you were there, I bet!

I had tickets for both games; The first game was postponed after I already driven to Comerica[ the ushers by the gates announced it was cancelled] i got there early because they were giving away Al Kaline baseball cards.


The next day: I woke up to see it snowing all over the place; I called the box office and they said the game was postponed, saving me a trip down there

you could write your own book, gs!

I probably could!

and make a little return on the investment you've made in the Tigs!

I definitely would order a copy of that book! :lol:

me too!
