All threats of violence and pronouncements of wildcard chances being over aside, here are my thoughts... - Eveland should have been pulled exactly when he was. Yes he was dealing but bringing the PH up is a no-brainer in that situation. Besides, they're limiting his innings, remember this team's #1 job is working toward '06 and beyond, not wearing out the young arms in an attempt to make this the year. - I normally defend Yost's in-game calls (face it folks, nearly every hitter is going to get out more often than he doesn't and it's easy to second-guess Ned on that) but Magruder was not the right man there. The bases were loaded, and those runs count just as much in the 4th as they do in the 9th. Especially since he's hitting left-handed. - STL is the best team in baseball. Their W/L record doesn't lie. The injury bug has hit them hard this year and I don't think you can say they have a second team (or a crap team as it was so eloquently put earlier). - I'm a little worried about Wise. On the other hand, rest seems to have done Santana some good, he looked sharp tonight and was hitting an honest 96-97 on the gun. I like our chances the next two nights. The Crew can still take this series.
