why is it that we've struggled so mightily with one of the worst teams in baseball? why do left handed rookies look good when they play us? why do both scott rolen errors in a year come against the fucking cubs?

i think dusty's poisoning our water coolers.

whatever... the remainder of this series will go the cardinals way. even this game wasn't without merits (like JEnc's homer), it's just that every time we could have made some headway, the cubs played world class baseball for a few seconds, then dropped back down to their usual caliber.

looking forward to a day game massacre... it seems we're much better at day games than night... that doesn't bode well for the playoffs, but it makes for a great finish to this series, anyway.

oh yeah, and amaury marti (my future favorite cardinal) went three for four with a homer in springfield... can we get this guy up to memphis soon, please?
