The 'H-Bomb'

I've been saying this for the past 2 years now: call the 'meat' of the Rockies middle-lineup the 'H-Bomb' for Holliday, Helton and Hawpe. Those 3 alone are an offensive force to be reckoned with and it's time the media realized it.
Years ago the Houston Astros had the 'Killer-B's' with Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell and Lance Berkman and the media (Sports Center) loved them. Well now it's high time they start loving the 'H-Bomb'.
Of course maybe they choose not to because in a way it would be wrong to put all this focus on just the 'H-Bomb' players instead of spreading it equally among the rest of the offensive juggernaut made up of Atkins, Tulow and Matsui.
Speaking of Matsui, I can guarantee you there is a higher correlation between him being in the lineup and the Rockies winning compared to him not being in the lineup (mid April to mid May) and the Rockies winning. Somehow the Rockies are just better with him there than not.

Maybe I should tweak 'H-Bomb' to 'Kaz-H-Bomb-Atk-itzki'. Nice.
