Lineup Card: Rockies vs Padres

Charlie Manuel selected Hong-Chi Kuo, a relief pitcher, to replace Jason Heyward on the all-star roster. I would like to thank Mr. Manuel for further adding fuel to CarGo's fire. The kid deserves to be there. The kid was crapped on by you and your arrogance, but I know CarGo will continue proving he belongs.

Rockies Lineup (49-38)

• CF  Fowler
• 2B  Herrera
• LF  Gonzalez
• RF  Spilborghs
• C    Olivo
• 1B  Eldred
• 3B  Stewart
• SS  Barmes
• P    Francis

Like I said last night, expect Francis to be on a short leash.  The Rockies have depth in the pen with Chacin and Cook.  That also know how important this game is.  

Padres Lineup (50-37)

• 2B  J. Hairston
• RF  Cunningham
• 1B  Gonzalez
• C    Hundley
• LF  S. Haistron
• 3B  Headley
• CF  Denorfia
• SS  Cabrera
• P    Richard
