If it isnt the pen or mismanagement of the pen it is the errors from Theriot or one of the many fielders larussa feels the need to play out of position. Hate the "due" word but Carp has certainly pitched much better than his numbers indicate, i would expect him to be good tonight. problem is stl doesnt score for him and Paulino could easily give Cards hitters some trouble. Lot of juice to lay with a team that is sliding.
