The changes to the Rockies lineup last night helped the train start rolling, but I don't know if we've got enough momentum yet to be running into Jake Peavy. Of course, everybody remembers the last time we played Jake, and that seems to be the story for tonight's matchup, but what I will be looking at mostly is how Jeff Francis responds after struggling thus far to find the same kind of success he had last season.

I guess I should save those kinds of questions for the gamethread, which I should probably work on posting right now as well.  So once again, sorry for keeping light on the content this week.

I should be back in time from tonight's Tourists game to actually be able to comment in a game thread again. And now that I have a computer, I might actually be able to do it, pending a working Internet connection. Okay, one hurdle to clear at a time, I guess. At any rate, let's not let another Padres pitcher get a near no-hitter off of us. In fact, karma would be kind if we got a near all-hitter against Germano.

Let's go Rockies!
