The breakdown: The Rockies are 4-4 in their home whites, 0-2 in the sleeveless home alternates, 1-2 with the black second alternates, and 5-1 in the road grey. They should obviously wear the grey all the time on the road. They haven't worn the first alternates (solid purple, "COLORADO") at all this year, a trend I'm hoping first-time starter Miguel Asencio will take the initiative to buck tomorrow. Do it, Miguel!

Jason Jennings and Jeff Francis like sleeves (each have gone with the standard home or road every time out). Aaron Cook will mix it up a bit (home, road, second alternate, and alternate home each once). Fogg wore the greys his first two starts and seems to have switched over to the sleeveless black. Zach Day, not that we care, tried the home, the road, and the alternate home before getting booted out of the rotation. We'll have to wait and see whether the solid purples and the other option for the second alternates (purple undershirts, ghastly) are still in the mix this year.

I don't know what the point of all of this research was, but it sure was a relaxing way to while away an hour on a snowy April night.
