so it looks like the Cards are out of the woods, the Cards took 2 of 3 from the Astros and have a 5 game lead on the Reds and 6 on the Astros. Marquis sucks though, he just looks lost out there. he gave up 4 and lasted less than 2 against the Astros today.

The Redsox and The Astros are sucking big time at the moment, i'm losing hope (this is not daniel, this is the other blogger on this site Orlando) Preston Wilson signed with the Cards and he's going to do good cuz that always happens when a player leaves the astros and goes on to another team (Bob Abreu anyone?) well this is it for my "contribution" to the site, sad sad time to be a Redsox or Astros fan.
