I just happened to notice this: the two guys hitting before Phat Albert are hitting .246 and .248. The two guys batting after him are batting .240 and .226. I wonder why they don't walk him in every critical situation, like they used to do with Bonds.Fortunately for the Cardinals, the old Chris Carpenter seems to be back. He threw a complete game Thursday, and is now 4-0 with a 0.87 ERA. Carpenter was a tremendous pitcher for the Cards in 2004-2006, when he went 51-18. But he essentially hasn't pitched since then.
