Quick updates: Rolen arrives, Pujols in lineup
As usual, check back on the site later for more info, but here’s the vitals:
- Scott Rolen rejoined the team today. He’s obviously still weakened, but said he’s making progress and he does seem to be in better shape than before. The expectation is that he’ll be in the lineup tomorrow.
- Albert Pujols is in the lineup, just posted a few minutes ago. We were initially told that it would depend on how he came through batting practice. It’s still possible that he could be scratched if he comes up feeling bad in the next couple of hours, but TLR hates to have to make out a new lineup card.
-M, always happy to be at Minute Maid Park.

This team is hard to watch right now. We really need another big bat.
I AM TIRED OF THE ST.LOUIS CARDINALS ANNOUNCERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PITCHING OF JASON MARQUIS. I ALWAYS HEAR THIS ON THE FOX SPORTS NIGHTLY NEWS REPORT. HAS TONY LARUSSA AND DAVE DUNCAN EVER THOUGHT OF PUTTING HIM IN THE BULLPEN SO HE CAN WORK OUT OF THE STRUGGLES?
