Matt Harvey pitches tomorrow against Pittsburgh. Indicates that he won't face the Cards in four game series v. Mets.

OK, I see the problem. I meant to say the best start for a Card rookie. (ERA, 1st 8 starts) My error. But I stand by my amazement. See, I was watching the Bulls/Heat game mostly and the Cards on radio. I did not know the kid had not given up a hit since that crack bat single in the 1st.
Turned off the Bulls and got back to baseball and learned what was going on in the 8th. So I was hanging on every pitch. I DID notice that Miller got every borderline call. Anyway, it was a kick.
Some no hitters take an awful lot of luck. Van der Meer comes immidiatly to mind X2! He walked like 10 or 11 guys in those 2 games. If memory serves, he walked the bases loaded in the 9th in the 2nd one. First nite game in history. Leo the Lip made a fine play to end the threat.

Wainright has no hit the Rockies through five innings today. Cards have no-hit the Rockies since the first inning of yesterday's game.
Cards have had several rallies, can't push a run across so far.
Cards now with a major opportunity, I doubt this is scoreless much longer. 2-0 Cards now.

Miller and Wainwright combined to retire 40 straight Rockies.
Still no hits in 46 straight batters.

Broken up in the 8th.
Keep an eye on the Rockies Cardinals game Jorge De La Rosa having a great start against the Cards through 6.
Kinda cool to see the roles reversed like this.
Cardinals and Mets tied at three in the bottom of the seventh. The real story here, Lynn has thrown 124 pitches and it's mid May. I'm sorry, I just can't see this holding up through the "dog days".
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
I think what the Cardinals might do is when September rolls around, they're probably going to give Michael Wacha some starts to let some of the starters rest. Who knows, Carpenter might be back by then too. He looks like a bullpen option right now but who knows what kind of wacky things they have planned for him. He certainly won't know how to explain it to his son.
