Figures.

Pretty much everyone on the Cardinals could have played better today. Lohse could have thrown fewer pitches and given up fewer than 4 runs over his 5 innings pitched. McClellan and Reyes could have been less crappy too. Ankiel (0-for-6, 5 LOB) was truly miserable, but none of the other position players had clutch hits, not really, with the possible exception of Molina's double in the eighth. While Reyes took the loss, the individual I am most frustrated with is Joe Thurston, who struck out with no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd in a tied game in the eighth. As I stated yesterday, this is a pet peeve of mine. Just like yesterday, the Cardinals could have taken the lead in the late innings but failed to do anything with a good situation.

Tomorrow is another day. I'll take a split of this series. Hell, I'll take a split of the season series. Just can't keep leaving runners on this way. Very frustrating.
