is there any question left as to the greatness we are witness to on a regular basis? 3-2 count, two men on, an albert pujols home run becomes a near statistical inevitability.

carp was hardly at his best, but he was able to hang in there better than any of the rest of our pitchers would have. wainwright is still proving unstoppable from the pen; he has a history as a fine but fragile starter. i think it’s safe to say that he will be starting for us next year… i just hope he can be as lights out for seven innings every fifth day.

let’s go, soup.
