    Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread).

    4-25 Shawn Chacon, RHP (0-0, 2.77) vs. Braden Looper, RHP (3-1, 5.49) 7:15 on FSN

    4-26 Roy Oswalt, RHP (2-3, 6.00) vs. Adam Wainwright, RHP (2-1, 2.73) 12:15 on FSN

    4-27 Brandon Backe, RHP (1-2, 4.15) vs. Kyle Lohse, RHP (2-0, 2.54) 1:15 on My20

    I'll be disappointed if the Stros give him anything to hit in a close game. Apparently, I'm not alone:

    a scout who had been following the Cardinals observed one day: "It's beyond me why anybody ever pitches to that first baseman."

    This is the biggest series we have played since the last series of 06 v Atlanta, where we gaged up the Central Division to the Cards.

    I think if we get a sweep, this could be a huge year. We have lost alot of 1 & 2 run games so far when we had only good starting pitching. Now that the offense seems to have shown up, let us see if they can beat the Cards when Looper/Wainright are pitiching. Since those guys have owned us in the recent past.

    Can't wait to see these games.

    BTW. Why isn't Pence hitting 6 and Towles batting 7. I just hate blondy hitting 6th,

    Terrible defense... but that's why you don't make the mistake of walking everybody.

    I hope Chacon's struggles through the first 2 are just a result of the rain delay. 60 pitches already.
