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

[The lineups posted by Bernie at the Pressbox. Thanks to Bernie! ]

After examination and consulation with Doc Paletta, Isringhausen (strained ligament) has been outfitted with a knee brace and they'll try it that way for now, to see how he does with it... so no roster moves today in KC....

Izzy thinks his mechanics may even improve with the stability provided by the brace...

As for the lineups:

Schumaker 7
Miles 4
Pujols 3
Ankiel 8
Glaus 5
Ludwick 9
Duncan DH
Molina 2
Ryan 6

(Boggs 1)

DeJesus 7
Aviles 6
Gordon 5
Guillen dh
Grudzielanek 4
Teahen 9
Olivo 2
Gload 3
Gathright 8

(Davies 1)

Cubs lost to the white Sox 6-5....we need to take advantage....

Maybe Mitchell can hit a homer and pitch a shutout.
I could even love a 1-0 win over Davies' one hitter.
