Astros 4, Cards 3

I hope the MLB is reviewing the spiking of Nunez in Game 3 of the NLCS. It looked intentional to me, especially given that the Astros know that St. Louis doesn't have another third baseman. The runner was clearly slidding into Nunez, despite the fact that he was about 10 feet away from third base. Luna's throw on the following play was pathetic but I guess thats what happens when you don't get a chance to warm up. However, the next play - the grab behind third and a bullet to first to get the runner - was quite amazing.

It'd be nice to see Pujols get an at-bat with runners on base. I noticed they moved Edmonds behind Pujols. Jim is hitting about .100 this series and has blown any chance for Pujols to get RBI opportunities. Someone in the Cardinals lineup is going to need to get clutch hits if they are going to get back in this thing.
