The Gas House Gang

The Cardinals just can’t seem to manage to string together some wins as they dropped the opener of the three game series with the Reds 10-3.  It’s now been close to two weeks since the Cardinals won successive games and the only thing keeping them out of the cellar is that the Cubs are playing even worse.

Last night, Kip Wells was hammered by a solid Reds offense.  He gave up eight runs on nine hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings.  Brad Thompson joined the party and he gave up two runs near the end of the game.

Scott Spiezio finished with two hits and an RBI while Scott Rolen went two for three with a double and a run.  Not much in the way of hitting stars in this one though.

Tonight, it’ll be Braden Looper who tries to pick up the win for the Cardinals.  The hitters will have to face a tough Bronson Arroyo. I still like our chances in this one though.
