slump buster

i had a feeling encarnacion might find his stroke soon. last night was the kind of confidence booster that would do any struggling position player right: great play in the outfield, 3-4 at the plate, and every one for extra bases. ok, juan, good job. just hit two singles today, and you're starting to bring all the redbird faithful to your side.

speizio once again proves that when the pressure is off, he can perform with the best of them. (to be fair, though, our bench hasn't exactly been clutch this year.)

at the beginning of this season, i was touting 2006 as the year of yadier's bat. as yet, this hasn't been the case. shouldn't catchers have something of an advantage just based on their familiarity with the look of pitches? whatever, i'm not really complaining. continue to be a great backstop and a force to be reckoned with for baserunners, yadi, and you'll continue to be one of my favorite cardinals.

just two more days until my first trip to new busch...
