A Broom, a Foul, and a New Lease

By JP

       There was a look of horror on the faces of Cardinals fans everywhere Wednesday night that had nothing (probably) to do with Michael Jackson's posthumous Billboard Music Awards performance four days earler; it was because a Matt Adams' foul ball found its way into the Cards dugout and hit Michael Wacha just above his right elbow. We can all breathe a sigh of relief, however, because it sounds like Wacha will make his next sttart. But that isn't the only good news.

       The Cardinals swept the Arizona Diamondbacks in a three game series. Wainwright was his usual dominant self and Allen Craig's bat is waking up and Jhonny Peralta seems to be hitting a little better now. Shane Robinson went 3-4 at the plate after a short stint in the minors. But the take away is that MAYBE the offense is starting to get going. Let's see what happens in Cincy this weekend.

Lastly, the Cards are 8-2 in their last 10 games while the Milwaukee Brewers are 4-6 which has allowed the Cards to climb to within 1.5 games of the division league. So, here's to at least taking two of three of from Cincy. Cheers!
