ROCKIES NOTES:
CALL HIM JOR-DINI Jim Tracy calls him George frequently in his press conferences and pre-game shows, but Jorge De La Rosa is starting to get out of more tied knots than Houdini. On Monday, night against the Cubs, Jorge got out of bases-loaded jams in the first and second innings, and allowed 12 baserunners in 7 2/3 innings, but only gave up 1 run. In Sunday's nightcap, De La Rosa allowed 11 baserunners in 5 2/3 innings, and only 1 run scored.
ANOTHER STREAK FOR HELTON Since having a hitting streak stopped one short of his career high, Todd Helton has now gone 5 straight games without a hit.
