Ex-Cardinals Watch 9-27-08: Hernandez Working In T.V., Tavarez Gives Up Game, Moyer Clinching Game, End Of Season Injuries

Carlos Hernandez:
When Carlos Hernandez first came to the San Diego Padres in 1997 from the Los Angeles Dodgers, the expectations weren't high. He had been a career backup with the Dodgers and was brought on board to fill the same role with the Padres. But Hernandez had different plans.

Julian Tavarez(Braves):
Darin Erstad's ninth-inning walk-off homer off Julian Tavarez provided the Astros a 5-4 win over a Braves team that exited Minute Maid Park knowing that yet another one-run loss could have been avoided had they simply not made so many mistakes -- both mental and physical.

Dmitri Young(Nationals):
Manager Manny Acta said of all the injured players on the roster, the Nationals will keep a close eye on first basemen Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young.

Edgar Gonzalez(Padres):
At no point in his first 107 games with the Padres this season did Edgar Gonzalez ever get jammed so much by a pitch that the bat completely broke in his hands.

Jaime Moyer(Phillies):
This scene might be familiar to Phillies fans. A late September matchup with the Nationals, white rally towels being waved furiously throughout Citizens Bank Park and a possible playoff berth looming right around the corner.

J.D. Drew(RedSox):
Two days after his short-lived return to the Red Sox's lineup, right fielder J.D. Drew underwent tests on Friday to make sure there were no further problems with the back that has kept him off the field almost entirely since Aug. 17.
