Lineup Card: Rockies vs Cardinals

Rockies Lineup (46-38)

• CF Fowler
• 2B Herrera
• LF Gonzalez
• 1B Giambi
• RF Hawpe
• C   Olivo
• 3B Stewart
• SS Barmes
• P   Jimenez

Hmm.  I thought for sure we'd see Brad Eldred again.  Then again, this is Chris Carpenter on the mound for the Cards today.  Giambi has seen Carpenter 25 times -- 5 hits and 6 walks -- so having that experience in there isn't the worst idea.  No complaints here.  

Cardinals Lineup (45-39)

• 3B Lopez
• CF Rasmus
• 1B Pujols
• LF Holliday
• RF Jay
• C   Molina
• SS Ryan
• P   Carpenter
• 2B Schumaker

No rest for the weary here. Cardinals pretty clearly do not want to get swept today in Coors Field.

Best of luck to them on that.  Or not.
