I assume that Jeff Francis must have appealed the five-game suspension he received for throwing at Kevin Kouzmanoff, because there he is, pitching. Clint Hurdle on the other hand is sitting this one out. It's nice to see the purple jerseys again, isn't it? First time since 2005. But this isn't 2005, so Fox Sports Rocky Mountain has some explaining to do. The first prime time baseball game of the season, and it's not on in HD? I'm against this.

Tonight, the Rockies attempt to get back to .500 against Livan Hernandez. Let's hope they have a good night, because I for one sure don't want to wait another two years to see those sexy purple unis again.
