One more weekend is all you get if you want to ski Winter Park before it closes for the season.

Police and other first responders will be in and around Coors Field on Wednesday as the baseball stadium conducts an emergency exercise in conjunction with the city of Denver and the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Colorado Rockies officials said. The Denver Post reported earlier this year that Wednesday’s exercise will simulate “an attack on Coors Field,” according to an email sent to a Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management mailing list in February.

Marc Johnson knows there’s no crying in baseball. Not quite yet, anyway. In his 52nd and final season as the Cherry Creek head coach, Johnson leads the Bruins into the Class 5A state tournament this weekend. With Cherry Creek again a favorite, he’s not letting the finality of his run as Colorado’s all-time winningest coach sink in as he goes for his ninth championship in his 23rd state tournament appearance. “I haven’t allowed that emotion to enter my mind, and the reason is because we have a job at hand,” Johnson said.

Spoiler alert: The Rockies’ bullpen is about as volatile as Colorado’s May weather.

After a heartening seven-game winning streak, Colorado has now dropped four straight.
