The only other real option for DH is Heisey with Stubbs in CF. And I can understand the way Stubbs has been hitting, or not hitting lately, why Baker would want to give him a day off.
And I have stopped underestimating Cairo this season.
Edit: The only real option for DH is Heisey with Stubbs in CF. I don't want anyone to think that I think that Cairo is a "real" option for DH.

Carpenter leaves them loaded in the first, but gives up 4 in the 2nd, Cards down 4-2 after 2.
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Cairo's going to go yard to left field. Long.
School's out. What did you expect?
I don't care if Cairo has 5 hits or not against Lee. Gomes should be DH today with Stubby in center and Hi-C in left
Things you will never see......Aaron Harang just leapt up to reach over the fence and rob BP of a homerun in bp. Stunning...and the crowd went wild
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Not saying that this is the case now, but it seems like whenever the "obvious" doesn't happen (ie Ramon pinch hitting over Nix) there is a reason why it goes down like that. Maybe Stubbs is battling something or maybe he is struggling and needs a blow (like when you have a .625 OPS over the last two weeks).
Or...maybe not. From Fay.

“Against this guy, Cairo is one of the few ones with success,” Baker said. “That’s the only way I could get Cairo in there without taking someone else out.

I got PBP for the 1st 3 innings. Then you're on your own.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
A's and Cardinals are now tied 4-4 in the 5th with the Cardinals still batting.
