Top of the Rotation

So the top of the rotation did their part to snap the Rockies out of a classic losing streak, the Rox taking two of three from the Trolley Dodgers to end their worst road trip since last season's worst road trip. Cookie was superb last night (not a surprise, he's currently 2nd in the league in wins) and Francis was great on Tuesday in the Rockies' first shutout of the year (much more of a surprise, but long overdue).

With Holliday and Hawpe both close to returning from their stints on the DL, we can only hope that things will start looking up for the Rockies. With 13 of the next 16 games at Coors Field, a nice long win streak could get them right back into the once-again mediocre-at-best NL West. See what winning just two games in a row brings? It's called optimism, and it's a baseball fan's best friend. Thanks, optimism! I appreciate it!
