Lineup Card Rockies vs Red Sox

I wrote a rebuttal (kind of) to Woody Paige's article that appeared in the Denver Post this morning.  Check that out over at Bugs & Cranks.

In other news... Welcome back Huston Street!

Rockies Lineup (36-33)

• 3B Herrera
• 1B Helton
• CF Gonzalez
• LF Spilborghs
• RF Hawpe
• C  Olivo
• 2B Barmes
• SS Nelson
• P   Chacin

Red Sox Lineup (43-28)

• SS Scutaro
• 2B Pedroia
• C  Martinez
• 1B Youkilis
• 3B Beltre
• RF Nava
• CF Cameron
• LF Reddick
• P   Lester

This is a far less intimidating lineup than the one we saw in the 2007 World Series.  That said, there's still fire power, especially in the middle.  Chacin will need to do a better job or trusting his pitches and commanding his pitches if he wants to stick around past 4-5 innings.
