The Return of the West Highlands Kid



Tonight marks the return of Jeff Francis after over a month of rest and Double A rehab. I'd like to think we are going to get the 2007 version of Francis, not the disappointing imposter we had seen through the end of June. Seems things were probably not well with his shoulder for a good stretch of those bad starts? Perhaps time will tell.

Rockies have put a claim on Livan Hernandez too, if the Twins do in fact let him go, could be an interesting wildcard in the rotation.

Counting on the bats to get all berzerk here pretty soon...




Been awhile since I've been out to the ballpark and am looking forward to the game tonight...you know what I'm also looking forward to:

How'd you get a copy of Francis' little league baseball card?

What a weird coincidence that he played on a team also called the Rockies!

"Anyway, the good lord would never disrupt the next Rockies game of my life."

OK, I guess he would.

He is a vengeful god.

Giving serious consideration to going to the day game and possibly sticking around for the free 2nd game - if that too doesn't get rained out.
