A look at whats happening all around the majors Tuesday:---ON THE CUSPA team
from the nations capital has not won a postseason series since Walter Johnson
and the Washington Senators took the 1924 World Series crown.
Jake McGee Rockies Jersey . Bryce Harper and
the Nationals can end that drought and reach the NL Championship Series with a
victory over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Washington leads 2-1 in the
best-of-five playoff, and neither team had announced its starter for Game 4.REST
UPCleveland will face Toronto in the ALCS after eliminating Boston on Monday,
and now the Indians and Blue Jays wait until Friday to begin their series. The
break interrupts a strong run for the wild-card Blue Jays, who won their sixth
straight game by beating Texas on Sunday to wrap their ALDS sweep. The four-day
rest was still welcome. Some people like to say a couple of days off might throw
our timing off, catcher Russell Martin said Sunday. I really dont believe in
that. At this point in the year, a couple of days off can do wonders.TEBOW
TIMETim Tebow has arrived in the desert and is ready to make his Arizona Fall
League debut. The former NFL quarterback and 2007 Heisman Trophy winner
participated in his first practice on Monday night, one day before the
Scottsdale Scorpions season opener against the Glendale Desert Dogs. Tebow
homered on the first pitch of his instructional league debut in Florida, but the
AFL will be a step up in competition, filled with some of the top minor league
players in baseball.TALS ENDTals Hill is coming down. The Astros began work on
renovations to center field at Minute Maid Park on Monday that will remove the
hill and add field-level seating. The project will bring in the center-field
fence from 436 to 409 feet and be completed by opening day in 2017. Tals Hill
was a tribute to Cincinnatis Crosley Field and other old ballparks. It was named
after longtime Astros executive Tal Smith.
Trevor Story Jersey . This should be
celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money
given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those
teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can
play for a different team in the middle of their season.

. -- Quarterback Will Finch threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, and
Yannick Harou rushed in two scores as the No. DENVER -- For decades, a train
chugged into the Rocky Mountains west from Denver, snaking through 29 tunnels
and crossing the Continental Divide before delivering eager skiers to the base
of Winter Park Resort at an elevation of 9,000 feet. Insurance woes doomed the
service in 2009, but now -- with some help from Amtrak -- the ski train is
back.The return of the Winter Park Express marks one of the more exciting
developments for Colorado skiers in years, and resort officials say its already
attracting attention worldwide.Steve Hurlbert, a spokesman for the Denver-owned
ski resort, said people from as far away as the United Kingdom and Australia
have shown interest in the train, which is set to resume seasonal weekend
passenger service Jan. 7.You dont have to worry about traffic. You dont have to
worry about weather. You can just sit back and enjoy the view, he said. Its just
a really relaxing way to get to the mountains.Powered by two 4,250-horsepower
diesel-electric engines, the train is pulled from Denvers historic and newly
renovated Union Station about 60 miles and 3,700 vertical feet into Colorados
snow-swept mountains. It drops passengers off about 100 yards from the lifts
after passing through the 6.2-mile Moffat Tunnel, which was finished in 1928 and
is credited with opening Denver up to western commerce.Also featured are Amtraks
Superliner double-decker cars, which are designed for longer distances and are
roomier than normal passenger train cars. The train can carry more than 500
passengers and can be resized depending on demand.But downsizing might not be an
issue.Hurlbert said tickets for two test runs of the service in March 2015 sold
out in about 14 hours.We knew all along that there was a huge demand to bring
this train back, and that really illustrated to Amtrak that the demand is
substantial, he said.So far, Amtrak has sold more tickets than expected for the
train, fueled in part by frustrated skiers and snowboarders who dread making the
painfully slow trip to the slopes on traffic-choked Interstate 70.The train,
which shares tracks with Amtraks California Zephyr that runs between Chicago and
San Francisco, has been a draw since it started running in 1940, the same year
the ski resort openedd.
Charlie Blackmon Rockies Jersey. After the
service was discontinued for a few years during World War II, it ran almost
every ski season from 1947 until 2009, when billionaire investor and then owner
Philip Anschutz shut it down.It just became cost prohibitive to run because some
insurance rates went up, Hurlbert said. Our sense was that it would never come
back.Marc Magliari, a spokesman for Amtrak, said Denver-based employees proposed
resurrecting the ski train a couple of years ago, and a conversation began with
Winter Park Resort and Union Pacific, which owns the tracks.It turns out, the
employee-borne idea had some legs to it, Magliari said. We have the available
equipment. We have a willing host in Union Pacific and we have a great partner
in Winter Park.A major piece of the puzzle was put in place when funding came
through for a $3.5 million heated platform that is designed to accommodate
athletes at the National Sports Center for the Disabled, which is based at the
resort. Contributors included the resort, the city of Denver, the town of Winter
Park, the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Colorado Rail Passengers
Association.But perhaps a more serendipitous development for the ski train was
the recent completion of a passenger rail line between Denver International
Airport and Union Station.This is the only service of its kind in the United
States, Hurlbert said. This is the only place you can go from the airport to the
mountain by rail. Its a very European model. ... Thats what really makes this
exciting. Its so much bigger in scope. It really kind of opens of the state to a
lot of international travelers.---If You Go...WINTER PARK EXPRESS: Amtrak train
from Denver to Winter Park, Colorado. Round-trips will run Saturdays and Sundays
between Jan. 7 and March 26, with an additional trip on Martin Luther King Day
and Presidents Day. Adult tickets cost as low as $39 each way and already are on
sale. The trains will leave Denvers Union Station at 7 a.m. Mountain time and
will arrive at the resort at about 9 a.m. They will leave the resort at 4:30
p.m. and arrive in Denver at 6:40 p.m..
