Tonight's game against the Cards is a makeup for a rain postponement back in May. Looks like we'll get this one in, but there's every chance we'll have to sit through a delay at some point tonight as well. Joy.
At least if we have a rain delay it'll be on the heels of a two-game winning streak.
Welcome back to the bigs, Collin Balester. Go get Albert Pujols out. (ed.--Wait! Pujols isn't in the lineup!!! LaRussa thinks the Nats are the j.v. team. C'mon Bally!
P.S. Look at the Cards lineup and tell me two things: 1) how are they a first place team and, b) couldn't they use a player or two?
