Seems as if Wainwright really isn't getting the recognition he deserves from the market price of this game. I mean a 19 game winner last year..should have been 20 but he left his final game with a 5 run lead and the bullpen blew it. Last start he didn't even have his best stuff or command and he still went the full 9 innings against the Mets, earning the win. You rarely see a pitcher of his calibur struggle with command 2 starts in a row and that does not bode well for a weak Giants hitting line up. Still not sold on Zito after a impressive small sample size, St Louis should be able to touch him up for a few runs while WW holds it down. :thumbsup:
Albert striking out... grounding into DP plays with no outs and runners on base...he's just not himself right now.
Cardinals strand 2 this inning and inning before that Zito struggling with his command walking batters and going to 3-0 counts and freaking Larussa puts on hit and run...what do ya know...strike em out throw em out, out of the inning.
Zito looks off the last 2 innings hopefully we can break through if the Cards stop shooting themselves in the foot.

Didn't know that and honestly didn't really do any research on this. A buddy of mine who's a huge Cards fan and total thread-head told me SF would be worth a shot against his Cards. "They struggle against lefties."
He's a pretty big homer, so it was enough for me to lay a unit on SF RL and half on ML; even against Wainwright.
