Beacause he ain't really a centerfielder.then why isn't he put in CF in situations like this while relegating Romano to RF???

Next time Claussen should think about walking Sanders to get to Rolen.
Rolen is 1-19 against the Reds this season.
Reggie is 13 homeruns away from 300 for his career.
ANY pitcher (or catcher who calls it) that does NOT throw Reggie high fastballs is just out of touch. Reggie has a hole as big as a truck in his swing.....it is anything above the top of the belt buckle......Claussen and LaRue should be shown some video of Reggie's career.
Rafael Palmeiro is 11 hits away from 3,000. Why isn't this getting much publicity?

Wow. Larussa sends Molina and he gets nailed at 2nd by a cannon shot by Larue.
Mulder leads off next Inning now. Thanks, Tony. Much appreciated!

"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch that’s over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.”
--Ted Williams
Molina thrown out stealing 2nd. Now Mulder will have to lead off the 3rd.

That was a sweet mistake on somebodies part.

Chris's Revisionist History 101:
The Cardinals up-the-middle defense of C Yadier Molina, 2B Mark Grudzelanek, SS David Eckstein, and CF Jim Brown (er, Edmonds) is better than last year's quartet of C Mike Matheny, 2B Tony Womack, SS Edgar Renteria, and Edmonds.
Grande and Welsh's suck-upitude knows no bounds.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
After Rolen, the Cards offense is abominable.
Grudz isn't horrible, but Taguchi and Molina are pretty bad.
