Series taken against the cubs

....the opener against Rockies also won.

I apologize for the lack of posts due to a personal bereavement. I did, however catch all of the cards games over the weekend and have watched a repeat of the opener against the Rockies. The lineup is hitting well, the defense is ok - except for Duncan who really appears to be struggling to adjust to playing the outfield. I know that he played a lot out there last year as well as this year but he is primarily a first-baseman and since he will never get a start at first-base he will just have to try and do his best as a reserve OF.

Onto more positive things. Albert has obviously impressed me and i didnt think i could be impressed any more by the guy - he hits a monster HR on Saturday followed by a great heads-up baserunning play last night - the guy can do it all. Molina's throw out on Sunday was terrific. Off balance and still managed to get the base-stealing cubbie at second ;) A couple of the guys need to get out of hitting slumps but overall the ball-club is running well and we have won the joint most games in baseball - doesnt that feel pretty good.

Onto game 2 tonight against the Rockies where Looper goes and hopefully the ground ball looper will show up tonight not the HR 8 runs Looper that sometimes appears.

I will post after the series is done on this long road trip for the Cards...

until then...

I think i saw...
