…play him. After the initial series in which Skip Schumaker went hitless, then sat out 4 games, he has been a very good leadoff hitter. 8 for 13 is outstanding. I believe TLR will ride this one out. Good for him.

Lots of words written about whether Pujols is a jerk or not. I don’t care. If he can bash the ball and play like his has the last couple of series, let him be a jerk. Makes no difference to me. I prefer to call it INTENSITY.

Ankiel- good to see him get a day off, even if did get one AB.

Lohse- remarkable, Kyle has been almost lights out. Makes the money look good that we spent.

Barton- deserves to play but i am not sold on him being anymore than a spot starter and regular sub.

LaRussa- good start fro him. He has not done anything that most wouldn’t do (except pitcher batting 8th).

I will take 8 wins out of 11 games all the way through the rest of the schedule.
