Cards WIN Chris Carpenter turned in another outstanding start down the stretch for the Cardinals with 8 shutout innings in the Sunday Night Game of the Week last night. Albert Pujols and Allen Craig provided all of the offense via the long ball. Albert is standing at exactly .300 and got two [...] Cards LOSE That was a short 24+ hours of hope, only 4 games back in the wild card that the Cardinals would continue to rise while the Braves continued to fall. In the eighth inning, Octavio Dotel and Marc Rzepczynski failed to do their jobs. Joel Hanrahan almost failed to do his agains the [...] Cards WIN The Cardinals swept the Braves today to attain their first five game winning streak of the season. Jake Westbrook pitched well enough until the Cardinals scored for him and then the lush September bullpen took over from there. Jason Motte made a nice save appearance as well. The Cardinals are now four [...] Cards LOSE The Cardinals couldn’t buy a timely hit last night and Jaime Garcia didn’t make it out of any of the jams he pitched himself into unscathed. A quirky strike zone that seemed to be in the favor of whoever was ahead in the count didn’t help anything. For the record, I’m not [...] Cards WIN Pitching, pitching, pitching. That’s the key to the Cardinals second half. Chris Carpenter pitched 8 innings of 1 run baseball last night and all the Cardinals needed was Albert Pujols on the offensive side. The Cardinals escaped making 3 errors and Carpenter got out of a jam in the 8th to hand [...] Cards LOSE -1 (-3) One out away, Fernando Salas gave up the walk off 2 run HR to Brandon Phillips. A very disappointing way to start the second half, this would have been a clear +1 game as the Cardinals came from behind twice to lead, Albert Pujols providing the power in the 8th [...] Cards WIN In the 19 days I’ve missed the Cardinals won only 3 games until the last three days when they swept the Orioles. Because they play in the NL Central and the Brewers drew the Yankees and Red Sox as Interleague opponents and the Cardinals got the Orioles and the Rays they are [...] Cards WIN The Cardinals got back on track after the Bud Norris hiccup and won 2 of 3 in Houston. Miguel Batista had more trouble, once again in a situation of little consequence, Eduardo Sanchez did not, pitching the last two innings of the game and allowing no base runners. The Cardinals are now [...] Cards LOSE Ok, that will be the last time I say anything about Bud Norris. The Cardinals simply were flat against him yesterday. Lance Berkman accounted for the only run and broke up a no-hitter with a solo home run in the seventh inning. Albert Pujols doubled in the ninth for the only other [...] Cards WIN Jake Westbrook wasn’t stellar last night, but anything he failed to do on the mound he made up for with his bat. In the 4th inning, Daniel Descalso was intentionally walked to load the bases when Westbrook came up. He drove the first pitch into the gap in left center field for [...] |
