Last time the Rockies saw the Padres, they took the series in 2-1 fashion, and ultimately ushered in the Rockies' longest winning streak this season: 3 games (after taking game 1 against Milwaukee), and by longest I mean "only".

Tonight, the Rockies will be facing Edinson Volquez, who has predictably rebounded from his miserable season in 2011 and is now thriving in the spacious confines of PetCo park. None of the upcoming pitchers in this series have ever pitched in PetCo, so we'll just assume that they'll do awesomely.

Really though, this is going to be an incredibly exciting series for people watching the farm pretty closely, and hopefully for people sick of miserable pitching as well. Pomeranz, Alex White, and Christian Friedrich represent a lot of the Rockies' future on the mound. Granted, PetCo won't exactly give us the best impression, given that I could probably post a sub-5 ERA pitching in San Diego, but it'll be interesting nonetheless.
