Cards get the best of rough weekend

Bottom line 2/3. Took some drama to get there though. Cards lost the Friday night game in the ninth after Looper had made his best start of the year. A shame that Izzy couldnt hold on for him. However, much to the debate - izzy is our closer and so, he isnt going to put up the best PCT in saves per opportunities this year, he will get saves and hes one of the best at putting bad outings behind him.

Then the madness started. Ausmus,needs a chill pill. Wainwright clearly didnt throw the ball intentionally at him - i dont think he could do it even if he wanted to - its not his style. I cant remeber that he has ever hit anyone intentionally, if he did want to hit someone, why hit Ausmus, hes rubbish - they would have had to bring Towles off the bench and that wouldnt have been good. Adam being the professional he is went on to complete the game and show why he is a cy young contender. Im glad skip managed to pull off the crucial hit that won him the game.

Sunday, Backe evidentally through at Molina. Its not coinidental that the catchers are getting all the wild pitches - and the ball after he called time, sorry, im not buying that. Lohse did a great job in starting and he was backed up by some good relief pitching. Unfortunately, my MLB.TV was down so i couldnt watch but the radio was still working which was a godsend - i was not happy at the time. Still 2/3 isnt bad at all - just need to go on a run this week and streak into first.

At least the cubbies runs have dried up at last - Go Cards

Until next time...
