cards and phils both down in order in the first inning. unfortunately oakland was in new york so holliday was able to get to philly quickly, and he's batting 4th for the cards tonight. happ versus the dave duncan-created monster named joel pineiro.

 

elsewhere, milwaukee (parra) hosts atlanta (vazquez), houston (hampton) hosts the hapless mets (santana) and who cares what the pirates are doing.

 

san diego is also at washington in an extremely exciting matchup.

[TruffleShuffle]

holliday with a cheap infield single and then immediately steals second base. i hate him already.

They got him into the Cardinals offensive scheme damn fast, eh?

They got him into the Cardinals offensive scheme damn fast, eh?

 

And it, of course, leads to a run.

Cardinals don't steal any bases, though. He's [expletive] with the formula!!!!!

[Derwood]

rain delay. ... BOO

[dew1679666265]

Now there's a rain delay in Philly.

[TruffleShuffle]

pineiro's ERA is about to fall below 3. this really pisses me off.

[Friendly Confines]

Phils leave a runner on 3rd in the 3rd, but have 3-4-5 coming up in the 4th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Phillies flub a scoring opportunity in the third. 1-0 Cardinals heading to the 4th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ryan Howard with a 1 out double in the 4th. Sill 1-0 Cardinals.

[TruffleShuffle]

werth hit one about 700 feet but of course it hooked a few feet foul.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ibanez & Werth fail. Still 1-0 Cardinals, end of 4.

NY Mets        1
Houston        1  3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cardinals go 3 up and 3 down in the 5th. Still 1-0.

[TruffleShuffle]

this is maddening, pineiro throws the same pitch every time and phillies hitters keep trying to pull the low outside sinker. lay off it if it's low and go the other way if it's in the strike zone.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Braves lead the Brewers 4-2 bottom 3. Looks like Manny Parra is bad again. To the Brewers credit, thats like 2 more runs than we were able to get off of Vazquez.

[Little Slide Rooter]

As much as it pains me that Mark DeRosa is a Cardinal, and it scares me that Matt Holliday is, and it sucks that they have the best hitter and one of the best pitchers on earth, I dont think theres a Cardinal that pisses me off more than Joel Piniero. This guy has no business pitching the way he is.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Phillies waste a single in the 5th.

 

St. Louis      1  6
Philadelphia   0

Atlanta        4  4
Milwaukee      2

NY Mets        1  4
Houston        1

Pittsburgh     0
Arizona        0  9:40

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa leads off the 6th inning with a single.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pujols singled, DeRosa to second, still nobody out.

[TruffleShuffle]

terrific, two seeing eye pop ups to right field and cards lead 2-0.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holliday singles, DeRosa scored, Pujols to third, 2-0 Cardinals, still nobody out.

[Flames24Rulz]

And Pineiro will no doubt shut down the Phillies lineup the rest of the way. What a joke.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ludwick singles, Pujols scored, Holliday out at third. 3-0 Cardinals with 1 out.
