Generally it's old, which is surprising, and there's going to be some pretty bad defense in places, but if any of the three outfielders get hurt there's nobody to be a fourth...

Cheers have turned into boos for Franklin Morales. The left-hander entered the game in the seventh inning for starter Jason Hammel, who left with one on and one out. Morales promptly gave up a bloop hit to Tony Gwynn and loaded the bases by walking Henry Blanco. Then Morales walked Everth Cabrera, forcing in a run and cutting the Rockies' lead to 3-2.

The Rockies didn't fare well last time out against Mujica. However, nothing spells revenge like a motivated team who is coming off of a nice offensive performance and is returning to their home park for a crucial nine game stretch. Having De La Rosa on the bump, who was absolutely nails in his last start, should help matters. Edward Mujica #45 / Pitcher / San Diego Padres Height: 6-2 Weight: 215 Bats:...

By Dejan Kovacevic | 3:10 p.m. Saturday If this was Ross Ohlendorf's final start of 2009, it certainly served as a tidy microcosm: He pitched quite well, got no support and had little to show for it all in the Pirates' 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres this afternoon before 20,379 at PNC Park. Ohlendorf allowed one run on five hits over seven innings, striking out five and walking one. That left his...

Afterward, the Padres were saying the incident was no big deal. But to hear Albert Pujols tell it, his confrontation with Will Venable yesterday at Petco Park might be continued next year. “Next time, maybe I'll try to hit him in the face with my glove,” said the Cardinals first baseman. Although no punches were thrown and any shoving was limited to restraining teammates, both benches...
