ICYMI: Rockies vs Reds PPD Due to Water Main Break

((ht:9news.com))

It's been a crappy year for the Colorado Rockies. Injuries, poor performance on the field and misspelling player names for promotional giveaways have all but ruined the season.

As of Saturday night, you can add a new calamity to the list of Rockies problems--though this one wasn't entirely their fault.

Saturday night's game versus the Cincinnati Reds was postponed because of a water main break outside Coors Field. The break caused most of the stadium to lose water pressure, making the bathroom's inoperable and concession stands all but useless.

The game was rescheduled for Sunday night as part of a day-night doubleheader. The two teams already were slated to play at 2 pm (mountain time) and the Rockies are slated to retire former star Todd Helton's jersey at that time.

Tickets for Saturday nights game will carry over for the Sunday night game--but not Sunday afternoon's version...

KUSA-TV in Denver tries to explain:

Todd Helton's Last Home Game Goes Okay...

Ended pretty well, don't you think...???


The man gets a real, live horse in the pre-game...
The other QB on campus when he was at Tennessee (some guy named "Manning") was there and he ties Kiner on the home run list...

Not a bad night for #17...

Todd Helton Wins: Pulls Off Hidden Ball Trick

We're guessing St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter is getting a lot of grief tonight.

The reason: He fell for the oldest trick in the baseball book.

The hidden ball trick.

Your perpetrator: Colorado Rockies 1st baseman Todd Helton.

Watch...and marvel--
