Lineup Card: Rockies vs. Astros 6-10-10

Win....

Please?

Rockies Lineup (30-29)

• CF Gonzalez
• 1B Helton
• SS Tulowitzki
• RF Hawpe
• LF Smith
• C   Olivo
• 3B Stewart
• 2B Barmes
• P   Chacin

Jim Tracy moved Helton up to the 2 spot?  OK... that leaves no doubt he reads the blog (still not really, but maybe someone reads it to him?)

Astros Lineup (24-36)

• CF Bourn
• 2B Keppinger
• 1B Berkman
• LF Lee
• RF Pence
• 3B Feliz
• C  Quintero
• SS Manzella
• P  Oswalt
