Cardinals 1 Mets 0

Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing, your 2004 New York Mets.

Not much to say about a 1-0 game. They faced a good pitcher and he pitched great. Trachsel pitched very well also. Just well enough to lose.

David Wright had another Mike Piazza game. Two bases empty hits, and with the game on the line he can't even hit a fly ball. That is so inexcusable. Bases loaded one out, the fastest guy on the team on third, and you can't even make contract to drive the tying run in.

I know Matsui failed in a similar situation in the fifth inning, but we all know Matsui sucks. When runners are on base his sphincter tightens up like a snare drum.

Pujols went 0-3 but got the walk and the run scored. He 40th run in the 40th game.
