Fall of the Cards

Series Recap—Dodgers vs St. Louis

5/14: Cardinals 8, Dodgers 4
5/15: Dodgers 9, Cardinals 7
5/16: Dodgers 5, Cardinals 4

A wild and wooly series, but I only managed to listen to a couple of innings. Tomko got shelled, while Lowe and Wolf were mediocre. But hey, the Cards had won ten in a row against the Dodgers prior to Tuesday's win, and LA took the series. That's good.

Wilson Valdez's run of good luck finally ran out. He hadn't really done much offensively since that wild trip around the bases versus the Pirates three weeks ago. Regression to the mean is a cruel mistress. Valdez was DFA'd, and his spot was taken by Hong-Chih Kuo, who was shelled in his first appearance out of the pen.
