It's a good thing Holliday didn't hit that home run on the first pitch. I've just been told it wouldn't have counted. #stlcards #reds

Apparently, Holliday should have hit a home run.Then he would be clutch. #stlcards #reds
dgoold
Worth noting that La Russa also said Rasmus asked for a trade in 2009. "He requested a trade last year, too," TLR said. #stlcards #reds

Chapman vs. Pujols, Round 1. Nice rivalry for a year to come. #reds #stlcards #cardinals

Chapman: Speed flashes 103 mph at Busch Stadium scoreboard. Fastest pitch ever thrown at Busch III, methinks. #stlcards #reds

Pujols ends his 0-for-18 with ricochet off Brandon Phillips. Home crowd euphoric. #Cardinals trail, 5-1. #stlcards #reds

#Cardinals outfielder Holliday OK after X-rays; Motte easing back and LaRue update, from TLR http://bit.ly/aUEIsT#stlcards #reds

#Cardinals go all-right with lineup vs. #Reds Wood http://bit.ly/a3h2io Live blogging starts at C-Beat #stlcards

OK, that was a swell play. That's worth two more hits to the total I mentioned earlier. #stlcards

Pujols now 0-for-16 on this current skid. #stlcards #reds

Hernandez, new catcher, will bat third in the 9th, and he's 3-for-23 with HR and 6 Ks vs. Franklin. #stlcards #reds
dgoold
Looking ahead to ninth, Franklin vs. some Reds: Rolen (6-for-11, HR), Phillips (3-for-14, 4 K), Bruce (1-for-7, 1 K), Votto (4-for-6, 2 BB)

Gomes 1-for-3 with 2 Ks vs. McClellan. Now, 1-for-4. #stlcards #reds
dgoold
The #Cardinals other lefty specialist, Kyle McClellan, set to face Votto. Votto has a homer in four ABs, 1 K vs. K-Mac. #stlcards #reds
dgoold
It is true that #Cardinals have removed their most productive hitter (by hits, total bases, etc.) from the lineup ... Garcia. #stlcards
dgoold
Oh, and Jay Bruce is still on the bench for #Reds. #stlcards
dgoold
Votto hitless in the game and set to likely face a lefty specialist. He's 1-for-7, 1 K vs. Miller; 2-for-6, 1 K vs. Reyes. #stlcards #reds
