As I predicted...

so far anyway...the Cards are 5-1 on their current homestand. A sweep of the Pirates stands in the way of an 8-1 stretch as I hoped would happen. With Carp on the mound tonight, it should be 6-1. Knock on wood.
Anyway, nice couple of games for the team not formerly known as comeback kids. Marquis still bites, but I'm back on the Suppan bandwagon, in fact I think I'm driving it. He deserves to be back next year. I think he's a good cost-effective 5th starter.

I'm off to Chicago for a wedding...not my own. I should be able to keep abreast of happenings while I'm gone. In a couple of weeks I'm heading to Baltimore and have already bought tickets to an Orioles-Sawx game on the 13th. I can't wait to see Camden Yards for the first time!
