Here we go Loop(er) de Lou….

Who would have thunk it? Braden Looper pitches 7 innings and gives up 2 hits for the win. A great performance from Looper. Does this early return make you want to consider LaRuncan as “real men of genius”? Back to back with Wells and Looper was good stuff. Only one game under .500. Woo Hoo!

Preston, I am beginning to warm up to you if you can clutch hit like that more often. A few scattered hits from Pujols and Rolen makes things look up.

Randy Kiesler. (see picture of him in A’s hat below) The lefty will start for the Cards. I guess he started a few games for the Reds in 2005. Keisler has made 17 career big-league starts, going 2-4 with a 6.19 ERA. Sounds as if they didn’t want to use Hawksworth LAST option yet. Maybe later.
