Heard some radio motormouth say the Cardinals got Matt Holliday to protect Albert Pujols. Huh? Dude's putting up Triple Crown numbers (.328 BA, 34 HRs, 90 RBIs) and he needs protection?
Regardless, Holliday is a definite upgrade over Chris Duncan, who was dealt to Boston earlier in the week and immediately shipped to Triple-A. Not a bad deal for the A's either, throwing in the towel (along with a few million dollars of Holliday's salary) to get two first-rounders and a second-rounder.
Tip of the Cup. The Yankees won their eighth straight, Giants starter Matt Cain won his 12th and Holliday wasted no time in contributing to the Cards' playoff push with a 4-for-5 debut.
A sigh of relief. Six save situations Friday, and not a one blown.

Another blown save for Sabean. The Giants should have got Holliday and dumped Zito.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Dodgers have quite a few games left against St. Louis - with Holliday "protecting" Pujols, maybe the Cards can sweep the Dodgers off the face of the earth.
