On The Road Again

The Rockies are off on a weird little road trip... two-game series with both the Cubbies and the Astros, followed by three in Kansas City. Two-game series are just odd; they have another one against the Giants in August. I suppose it has something to do with interleague scheduling... just another reason to hate interleague. Bah, humbug!, says The Beard.

Jeff Francis was certainly beard-worthy yesterday. What a great return for one of the best pitchers in the Rockies' short history! It's only one start, one win, so we won't get our whiskers all in a frizz... but plugging a healthy Francis back into this Rockies rotation could be another of those seemingly small tweaks to a team that make it all click into place.
