Lineup Card -- Rockies @ Angels

Rockies Lineup (39-35)

• 2B Herrera
• 1B Helton
• CF Gonzalez
• DH Giambi
• LF  Smith
• C   Iannetta
• 3B Stewart
• RF Spilborghs
• SS Barmes

Jhoulys Chacin on the mound.  

Iannetta gets the nod behind the plate.  He and Chacin have not worked well together in the past.  Hopefully that's something that'll be cleaned up today.  I'm not opposed to Iannetta getting more ABs.  Olivo is clearly slumping and tiring.  The playing time will need to be divided up a little more evenly in the coming weeks.  

Angels Lineup (42-35)

• SS Aybar
• 2B Kendrick
• RF Abreu
• CF Hunter
• DH Matsui
• LF Rivera
• 1B Napoli
• C   Mathis
• 3B Wood

Ervin Santana on the mound.  Won't be an easy day again for the Rockies bats.
