So far, so good.
Just updating on the Rick Ankiel saga. He pitched an inning of relief last night for the Cardinals. Here's his line:

                  IP   H   R  BB  SO   PC-ST

R. Ankiel (H, 1)   1   1   0   0   0   15-12

Pretty uneventful, and I'm sure that's exactly the way Ankiel (and Tony LaRussa) wants it. Speaking of LaRussa, he is showing a ton of confidence in the kid, bringing him in a close game with the lead. I suppose you can do that when you have a 17-1/2 game lead in the division, though. I also suppose you can do that in San Diego where nobody is paying attention to the game anyways. You can bet LaRussa wouldn't have brought him in to a game in New York.
