Did something happen the last time these two teams met? Well, whatever did happen, neither team "much cares to think about" what happened after that night.

Hurdle jabbed at the reporters after being asked about Jake Peavy:

"How do you think the Padres feel about facing Aaron Cook?" Hurdle replied. "We've got Cook going. I feel good about that."

After those April showers of losses, why shouldn't the Rockies become May flowers? We have our best starter going against the Padres' best starter. At PETCO Park. How many innings does this game go?

When the owner says something, you probably can count on it happening:

"We will put him [Greg Reynolds] out there and see what he can do. He would have been up here last year if not for the shoulder injury," Monfort said. "In a perfect world, we would rather have him stay in Triple-A. But we aren't living in a perfect world. We have some issues."

Can we speed up time and have it be Sunday today? I'm excited for this debut.

Tracy Ringolsby says the Rockies have interest in prep shortstop Anthony Hewitt.

Doug Davis is cancer-free.

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.
