The Gas House Gang

Man, what a pick up.  Jeff Weaver had done nothing but get shelled all season.  Then he comes to St. Louis and after a rocky start, he’s found his groove.  This afternoon, he was nothing short of awesome.  He went only five innings, but he gave up only two hits as he and four relievers combined for a four hit shutout.

The Cardinals did all of their damage in the fourth inning.  Preston Wilson doubled and then he scored on Albert Pujols’ single.  Two outs later, Jim Edmonds then singled and drove home Pujols for the second run of the game.

Both team’s get the day off tomorrow and then it’s the first ever playoff game in new Busch Stadium.  Hopefully the Cardinals can wrap this up with a sweep.
