HOUSTON -- Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was out of the lineup Friday, after starting the previous two games.Tulowitzki, not totally right because of a sore left hip, went 1-for-4 in Thursday night's 9-6 loss to the Astros and came close to turning the game around, but his deep drive with the bases loaded in the seventh dropped harmlessly at the warning track for an out. Tulowitzki also made capital football just his sixth error of the season on a high throw, but made an outstanding move to his left and throw to second base for a highlight-reel force play.It's not clear if manager Jim Tracy will use Tulowitzki again in the final days of a lost season. Tracy already has shut down first baseman Todd Helton, who has a bad back, and is staying away from first baseman Jason Giambi, who also is fighting bac capital football k soreness."When you think about running the risk of infringing upon 2012, it's something that you have to keep in mind," Tracy said. "I really believe the swing [Tulowitzki] took in that bases-loaded situation, I really believe [would have been a home run] if he'd been out there on a regular basis. He missed by this much of hitting the ball off that glass out there for a grand slam." Carlos Gonza capital football lez, who is out with a sore right wrist and didn't make the trip with the club because of a wisdom tooth procedure, had not made it to Minute Maid Park as of batting practice Friday.
