Tuesday Morning Rockpile:
Which team will be on the wrong end of today's April Fool's Day joke? We have the guy who was with the opposing team last season starting for us, and he's says he's not surprised something like this happened. Wells also believes that, "Obviously, this is an opportunity for me to go out and get us started on the right track." No argument there, but when the opposing team sends out the guy who coughed up a huge gopher ball to the Rockies back in October, you have to wonder which team is setting itself up to be today's fool.
Bernie Miklasz believes Lohse should use his curveball today to throw off Rockies hitters since they're a good fastball-hitting team. Apparently, during his good seasons, Lohse used his curveball upwards of 10% in his total number of pitches during the season. Nah, that curveball will be a joke once a Rockie crushes it over the wall.
If we take a look at the standings:
We see that the Rockies are still better than the Giants on April Fool's Day, and that's no joke. Jake Peavy held the Astros to three hits in seven innings and struck out four in the 4-0 victory. His three walks didn't do much for the 'Stros, but his sac fly in the second proved to be the winning run (not to mention his RBI single in the 4th also)!
I don't think we'll see the Giants out of the cellar any time soon, or ever, this season.
After today, we'll see Lohse and the Cardinals on the wrong end of today's joke and the Rockies will have a nice '1' in the 'W' column.

So, we'll be without
some key guys since Francis, Holliday, and Tulo were traded.

The Rox will win if...
...they get rid of that AWFUL nickelback song intro that they did yesterday. It is my firm belief that that song got them started on the wrong track right away. It was terrible and should never be shown again. If I ever see that again, I swear I'll boycott ever watching Fox Sports again...atleast from 7:00-7:05 pm. ;)

It wasn't that bad
I thought it was actually pretty funny. I don't know what people's problems with it were, maybe they haven't seen the actual video.

Are there any teams that are not good at hitting fastballs?

I am not actually all that suprised they used rockstar..
it was Brad Hawpe's batting song last year and I thought the video was really funny, especially hurdle.
"A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."

Does anyone remember
The original quasi-country "Colorado Rockies" song they used to play at Mile High? That was the height of unintentional comedy. They should bring that back (along with Charlie Jones) just to remind us of how far we've come...

Standings...
my guess is that as you have the standings currently listed is exactly the order they will finish the season in. So make sure you save that template. :)
