April 23, 200917 yr Cards complete the sweep with a 12-8 win. Two dingers by Pujols with Ankiel getting his first homer of the season. This was a good series at the plate for Ankiel...who also made a sick full extension diving catch in the early innings today. Only bad spot...Lohse turned his ankle in the 5th inning and did not return in the 6th. This could really hurt depening on how long he misses...if he misses any starts. Up next: Cubs visit Busch Stadium!
April 23, 200917 yr Author Cards complete the sweep with a 12-8 win. Two dingers by Pujols with Ankiel getting his first homer of the season.

April 24, 200917 yr Tough to see Loshe go down, hopefully he will be OK. Pujols is a monster. Going opposite and center field. Good to see Ankiel have a big series.
April 24, 200917 yr Author Loshe was supposed to have an MRI on his knee last night. I haven't seen a report on it yet. Pujols might get his 1,000 rbi tonight. Also the all star voting has begun. Vote for you favorite Cardinals

April 24, 200917 yr Author What happened to Lohse? He was trying to avoid a collision with Albert Pujols during a fielding play at first base during the 5th inining. He stay in the game until the 6th. They say he jammed his knee.
April 24, 200917 yr Author Lohse MRI Clean; Status Evaluated Later Today By Joe Strauss St. Louis Post-Dispatch A magnetic resonance imaging performed on Cardinals pitcher Kyle Lohse this morning found no structural damage to his right knee, according to a club source. Lohse, who apparently jammed the knee covering first base on a bungled fifth-inning grounder Thursday, is unlikely to be assigned to the disabled list but may have his next start pushed back or skipped entirely. The matter will be discussed among general manager John Mozeliak, manager Tony La Russa, pitching coach Dave Duncan and team medical supervisor Dr. George Paletta this afternoon at Busch Stadium. A club official described today’s finding as “clean” and called it “very good news.” The club intends to make an official announcement later this afternoon. Read More
April 25, 200917 yr Author Cardinals rally to extend winning streak. By Joe Strauss ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 04/25/2009 The Cardinals entered Friday as a novelty: a team bearing one of the game's four best records while leading its league in errors. They exited after again defying convention.
