Happy Fourth of July! Or if you live across the international dateline, Happy Fifth of July!

Hopefully the Marlins gave out all the presents they were planning to present to our host the Rockies. And personally, I've could've gone with a less generous offering.

So let's try it again.

Olsen has started twice in Coors Field and posted 1-1 record in the process. He won in 2006 only allowing 3 runs in 6 innings and most of that came off a home run. In his 2007 campaign, you know the one, where he was the only young starter from 2006 whose arm didn't fall off from overuse, he only went 2 innings.. Ollie has since rebounded and is pitching well. Now it just a matter of whether the Marlins will ever score some runs in one of his starts.

Reynolds is a rookie and I know very little about him. Lefties are hitting him at a .306 clip. He has given up 10 home runs in the 10 games he has pitched. He does, for some unknown reason, pitch better in Coors than on the road.

Ichthyomancy is loving the long weekend. Best of Luck to You!
