During the best drinking holiday on the Colorado sports calendar, the last call for alcohol came early at Coors Field. Not that anybody was complaining, because our gritty little Rockies won. They beat Washington 1-0 Thursday afternoon at the home opener when revelers traditionally gather in LoDo to celebrate the arrival of spring and drink to forget the bad baseball we’re usually stuck with in this dusty old cowtown. While baseball has long been Denver’s favorite drinking game, this home opener was a celebration of something far more refined and rare: beautiful pitching.
