Rockies fans, your team is back in action tonight! After a two-day layoff (With an assist from Mother Nature), the Rockies return to Coors Field to wrap up their Opening Week homestand with a quick two-game set against the Dodgers. The Rockies have a chance to make a statement in the NL West with this series. The Rockies traditionally haven't played well against the Dodgers, and with both Clayton Kershaw, who took down the defending World Champions in his season debut last weekend, and Chad Billingsley on the docket for this series, the team has a chance to turn some heads with this series. Second year sensation Jhoulys Chacin, who many see as the x-factor for the Rockies pitching staff in 2011, takes the hill in his season debut.
