3. Cardinals (Up)
Animals on Vacation: Big Puma cools off with a two-hit, six-walk week that drops his batting average all the way to .374. Albert Pujols keeps doing his best Buck impersonation—John Buck, that is (.248/.322/.421 on the year). But Jaime Garcia (9.0 2 0 0 1 8), Kyle McClellan (13.0 10 5 5 5 5), and Kyle Lohse (14.0 12 6 6 5 5) wait in the tall grass for their prey. GM John Mozeliak says the closer situation is "snake-bitten," but replacements Eduardo Sanchez and Fernando Salas have performed ferociously in place of Ryan Franklin. Meanwhile, the team will be without third baseman David Freese for two months following hand surgery.
