Nah, Pujols didn't do anything. Kyle Lohse is nothing but a big pansy. IIRC he was disliked in Minnesota for being a crybaby.

I think Volquez could take Lohse...
Hairston draws a two out 12 pitch walk.
Bruce got ahead 3-0, took a couple called strikes and then grounded out. Lohse is at 93 pitches.
After 5 innings:
Reds 2, Cards 0
Volquez 55 pitches, 34 strikes
Lohse 93 pitches, 63 strikes.
Nice 12 pitch AB there by Hairston to draw the walk.
A low batting average coupled with a high IsoD is evidence that a guy has good plate discipline but problems making contact. You cannot sustain the walk rates Dickerson has sustained with poor plate discipline -- period. Like Dunn, he strikes out because he works deep counts and swings and misses a fair bit.
Izturis K's to begin the 6th.
Singles by Schumaker and Ludwick. First and second with only one out for Pujols. I have a bad feeling about this one.
Loaded.
Ankiel.
One out.
Too bad the offense fell asleep because now we're about to be behind.
He just made Ankiel look stupid - that changeup is just N-A-S-T-Y
Ankiel K's. Big out.
Still loaded for Glaus.
Still got a bad feeling.
NICE!
