WEEKLY RECAP

Another 1-1 week. And what's more disheartening is the loss against the divisional rival Houston in such a close contest. And the offense didn't produce as much this week. But our sluggers continue to produce in a very high ratio, which is... helpful. An excellent pitching job on the second game against the Twins got a nice 2-0 win, with homers from D-Lee and Aramis Ramirez. Just another week in the office for Lou Pinella and his boys, but it won't be long until the Cardinals can find a 2 win week and get ahead of the Cubbies. It's something to notice, and I'm sure that the coaching staff will look in this.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Although Carlos Zambrano picked up the win against the Twins, the reliever Aaron Heilman had a stronger showing, to play 3 shutout innings with 3 K's. For reference, neither Zambrano nor Marmol nailed even a single strikeout. He has undeniably improved his worth for the team with this performance, and has made his future better. Also, he didn't give up a single hit, whilst Carlos gave up 5 and Marmol - 1. Just highlighting his impressive showing.
