Rockies washed out again by rain, 1-0 lead scratched vs. Padres

SAN DIEGO — Kids in tank tops and Tony Gwynn jerseys romped through the rain in the bleacher seats. They danced on the stairs and stomped splashes through puddles in the aisles like umbrella-less Gene Kellys. A hearty young troop of Marines sat through the storm in right field. Their posture was perfect.

San Diego is a meterologist's bored nightmare. Sunny and 72, ad infinitum. Baseball game delays are so rare here that 15 percent of the total delays since 2004 were caused by bees.

But the Rockies, they can bring the rain.

On Sunday, San Diego was a playground lagoon.
