The Cardinals beat the Marlins 5-2 yesterday on the back of back-to-back-to back HRs by Skip, Joe Mather, and Pujols. All three HRs were off of Kevin Gregg. There’s a box score here. Shumaker ended up going 3 for 4 today out of the lead off spot with 1 RBI and 3 runs. Pujols went 2 for 3, and Wellemeyer let up 2 run in 3 2/3 innings. Izzy got the win with a scoreless inning.
I got a scare yesterday when I read on a message board that ESPN bottom line had Pujols needing Tommy John surgery, but I later found out that there were chips or something in his elbow, but that it wasn’t going to require surgery. Even without surgery, this does not bode well for the season. The only positive that may come out of Pujols being hurt is that Duncan will be able to play first and we’ll be able to carry 5 other OFers, and we would be able to see who was the best fit for our OF. But I hope to God that doesn’t happen…..
