Cards won 5-4 last night!!! Tigers took an early lead of 3-0. Shortstop David Eckstien started the rally, with an RBI double in the bottom of the third. Eckstien is my mom's hero- she thinks he is just great. I like him b/c he is only 5'7" (an inch taller than me) and he is playing in the major leagues! Shout out to all short ppl out there- we can do anything!! Okay back to the game summary; Yadier Molina proved that he is till Red Hot in October- he got a double that scored Scott Rolen! Eck came thru again btm of the 7th getting a double off of Tigers reliever Fernando Rodney. It seemed catchable but Tigers centerfielder slipped and Eck got another double. So Taguchi entered with the intention of dropping a bunt to get Eck to third, but Rodney slipped and badly threw the ball to third which allowd Eck to score. Preston Wilson got a single which allowed Taguchi to score. Cards lead 4-3, but those rotten Tigers came back in the 8th to tie things up. Rookie closer Adam Wainwright allowed a double from Brandon Inge which allowed Ivan Rodgriguez to score, but thats the only run he would allow. Joel Zumaya(he of the 100+ mph pitcher, and yet when they're that fast he can't find the strike zone) took the mound, walked Yadier Molina and little Eck came up again and hit it deep. Tiger's left fielder Craig Monroe tried to dive for it but it bounced off his glove and Eck got another double!!! Cards tooik a 5-4 lead and that was all the Cards needed! Click here for the official wrap-up. Also check out J-Rod's blog- a behind the scenes look. My friend Russ, is one lucky person, he got to go to Tuesday night's game and Wed night (now Friday b/c it was rained out). My buddy JR is going to get his butt kicked b/c he called me at 1:54 AM! I hate calls that late/early!
