Cardinals don't have the talent to sustain hot start
There are few on it you would want for your team other than Albert Pujols.
Heck, there might be no one on it you could name other than Albert Pujols.

Additions and corrections are appreciated.

HP ump is Eric Cooper. Name sounds familiar. Maybe he is good.
3B is Angel Hernandez.

The Birds are having a great game. The stud must be using Albert's bat or something because he's had a pretty good game at the plate.

Ankiel stole a homer with an over the wall catch. Very nice!

Great outing from Wellemeyer.

It's been a long time since I was able to say CARDS WIN!!! The final was 5-1. Great job by Wellemeyer and a 1,2,3 for Izzy in a non-save situation.
Back with the recap in a few minutes.

Every position player had at least 1 hit but we scored more on sac flies and a FC than by hits with RISP. I think we left about a thousand runners on base. Timely hits are not our forte. That's got to change. The hitting stars were GLAUS (YUP) and Izturis (REALLY). Each had 3 hits and Glaus had a double ( surprise-surprise). Ank had 2 wiith a double and Albert and Yadi each had 2 singles. Barton, Ludwick and Ryan each had a single.
Wellemeyer pitched his best game so far. It seem like he always comes through when the Cards are in trouble. He is now 4-1. He went 7 innings giving up 1 run on 2 hits with 3 BBs and 5 Ks. The run that scored was an inherited runner that Flores actually gave up after 2 were out. Flores went 2/3 of an inning giving up 2 hits. Springer got Bay on a long fly out to deep left center to end the 8th. Izzy threw a lot of pitches but, if Gameday's graphics are any indication, his location looked better. He threw 15 pitches and got 3 FOs.
The Cubs and Cinc won and Milw lost. Houston is tied with SF at 3 in the 4th.
Lots of action in the minors. Check in with Coop for the results.
That's it for tonight. Tomorrow at 12:15 CST, it's Pineiro vs. Snell. Let's hope that Joel has turned the corner. Snell will be rough.
See ya later.
