7/4/08 @ St. Loius; W 2-1; (52-35)

Carlos Zambrano returned to the mound for the first time since June 18th and he did so in impressive fashion. He pitched six innings, striking out five and allowing no runs. He showed signs of the competitive frustration we have come to love in the bottom of the second. Yadier Molina hit a swinging bunt that neither [read more...]

In the four game series in LA, they only scored eleven runs. The last three games were relatively boring, other than Big Z [read more...]
