Today’s Matchup – August 15, 2011

Seventeen straight Sundays. An official Major League record. No team in the history of the game has lost more times on one day of the week than the 2011 Colorado Rockies.
Harsh burden to bear, isn’t it?
Let’s add injury to insult – third base coach Rich Dauer was hit in the fact by a thrown ball from Chris Nelson during batting practice in St. Louis yesterday. He’s okay, though. He fractured his nose. No word on whether or not he’ll be at third today.
Kevin Millwood takes the hill in his second Rockies start looking for a win for the team today against a struggling Marlins team.
