shameless SB Nation plug: a couple of the bloggers on our network do a weekly podcast called SB Nation Live; used to broadcast on sundays, but they moved the show to tuesday and will be on the air tonight. here's the show's home page; all the instructions are there for how to participate via phone / text / e-mail. they do a very professional job; tonight's subjects include the clemens signing, something or other about barry bonds, the de la hoya / mayweather bout, and whatever else happens to come up. blez from Athletics Nation will be among the featured guests.

per derrick goold, la russa has finally decided to put chris duncan into the cleanup slot; ryan ludwick will hit second ahead of pujols, with edmonds batting 6th. jimmy's hitless in his last 20 at-bats; the longest drought of his career is 0 for 21. here are the lineups:

COL STL
finley cf kennedy 2b
tulowitzki ss ludwick rf
holliday lf pujols 1b
helton 1b duncan lf
atkins 3b rolen 3b
hawpe rf edmonds cf
torrealba c molina c
quintanilla 2b eckstein ss
buchholz p thompson p

hat tip to new poster hit and run for the lineup info.

oh, and by the way ---- no love for the "ministry of silly walks" link this morning?
