Another GREAT win!

The local radio guys have been h8ting on the Cards all winter...it is fun to watch them backtrack now.

Kevin Slaten, radio shock jock is gone..arguably, the biggest jerk I have ever met. He went to high school with my brother in law, and I have met him on several occasions. Opinionated a$$hole.

Slaten put on Dave Duncan on the air, without Duncan's knowledge...he thought it was just a phone call. Hilarity ensued, as Duncan just RIPPED him. Heh heh.

Kyle Lohse's nearest match, according to baseball-reference, is Jeff Suppan. This is seriously overlooked by the media. Supe pitched pretty darned well for the Cardinals.

Barton looks to be a real find, and Skip Schumaker has played brilliantly so far. I don't think Skip can play 162 games, but I sure do like the way Tony is platooning his outfield. Schumaker DOES have a lifetime .292 batting average, over about 310 PA's.

Barton, and Schumaker each got an outfield assist last night, and I believe that Skip has two already this year.

Stop me before I become a believer. IF Pinero and Clement come back, healthy, then the Cards will have a fine, deep bullpen. I would almost prefer for Mulder and Carpenter to be held back until they are COMPLETELY healthy.
