This might be off-topic a bit, but would a Spice Girls reunion be successful?

Apropos of nothing, but Rasmus is 2-3 with a home run, double and two walks. It's daffy that all he did was open his stance and he has more home runs than everyone on the Cardinals with the exception of Beltran.

Beltran really closed out the first half strong.

Bell should just walk Freese here.

Cruz is useless.

Hrabosky is giving cover to Matheny saying he can always trot out "we played hard." Shut up, Al.

What an AB from Scal!

That was ridiculous.

Wonder if that was his father's advice.

Ditto. I dozed off after Holliday struck out to end the 8th. Yippee!!!
Oh, and, way to go Heath Bell.

He really gave up one loud hit - Carpenter's double. Of course, walking Descalso is unpardonable, but Scal put up a fight. I think it was something like an 11-pitch at bat.
If you look at the replay of the play at the plate, Freese is safe, but Cuzzi is in no position to make the call. He can't see the ball, and from his angle, he should have called Freese out.

We headed to the movies in the 9th. I figured it was over. Looking back on the game it was the normal problems. Cleto, Marte and Scrabble. Glad they pulled out the win though. To bad they didnt gain any ground.

Since Cruz has been getting regular playing time he has found a way to get involved in almost every game.

The Three Stooges. Cleto and Marte aren't as much a cause for concern because they're eminantly replaceable and they do have better right-handed options out there, but Scrab is supposed to be The Guy from the left side. Elizabeth Barrett Browning's distant relation has been a nice story, but if the Cardinals are going to do anything, they need Scrabble.

I wouldnt write off the importance of Cleto and Marte. As long as Matheny keeps rolling them out there there it is a problem.

"To bad they didnt gain any ground."
But they didn't lose any ground either. A game and a half behind TTTIB and 2.5 behind the Pirates falls within the margin of error.
The Pirates aren't going to keep hitting like this the rest of the way. McClutchen is carrying them, but they're also getting contributions from guys like Sutton, Alvarez and McKenry.
The Reds are still the team the Cardinals are going to have to beat. They didn't get much help from Jason Marquis yesterday. Every time I see him, he looks more like a middle-aged Jewish man. A few more lousy starts and he's going to end up on some Florida beach, wearing dark socks under a pair of sandals.
