last night i went to sleep during the rain delay. when i awoke for jack's 1am feeding, i went to check gameday on the computer. it's a good thing jack was already awake, because i would have woken him up.
jeff, every walk is costly. last night, you found out just how costly.

what's with all the errors? with our groundball pitching staff, errors, especially from infielders, are costing us games. is it just coincedence that it all seems to be happening at once, or is this indicative of some clubhouse issue? whatever the case, i hope they get it out of their systems soon.

i have to say, i'm glad we're in first, but not by much. the last two years, when we were so far out in front of the rest of the central division, i, like a lot of cardinal fans, thought it hurt our drive going into the playoffs (i.e. we weren't the team with "something to prove"). frankly, i hope the division race stays closse the whole season, and that's only slightly because i used to be a reds fan.

mulder/trachsel should be interesting, especially if mulder can keep them in the park.
