Lineup Card: Rockies @ Phillies

Rockies Lineup (51-44)

• CF  Fowler
• SS  Herrera
• RF  Gonzalez
• 1B  Giambi
• 2B  Mora
• LF  Smith
• 3B  Stewart
• C   Olivo
• P    Cook

Been a long time since Clint Barmes received a day off.  The reason... Melvin Mora in the only backup IF.  

An Aaron Cook start and we're looking at Giambi, Mora on the right side, with Johnny Herrera making a rare SS appearance on the other side.  My hope?  Phillies hit everything on the ground to Stewart.  

I thought Iannetta might play again with Olivo slumping and Cook having just caught a Cook shutout. Shows what I know.  

Phillies Lineup (49-46)

• SS  Rollins
• 3B  Polanco
• LF  Ibanez
• 1B  Howard
• CF  Werth
• RF  Gload
• C    Ruiz
• 2B  Valdez
• P    Halladay

That pain in the ass Carlos Ruiz.  He's the guy you have to look out for.
