BOX SCORE

POSITIVES
— The stiffs at the top of the lineup combined for 3 hits.

NEGATIVES

— The rest of the team combined for 3 hits.  TOS.

— Taveras is an awful defensive outfielder, and probably gave himself a concussion with another of his patented run-into-the-wall-as-the-ball-bounces-past-for-a-triple.

— Cueto left the game with a hip injury.

— Scott Rolen is still hurt.

MISC

— The Cards magic number over the Reds is 37.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see them eliminated by Labor Day.

— I don’t have the interest or energy to write anything more about this team.  Plus, it’s all been said.
