Cardinals NLCS

Believe it or not, this was really hard to find:



Some good news here: no lefty starters, and apart from Carpenter & Pujols, not much else, either. Johnson and Flores, the two lefties out of the 'pen, look pretty good. Wainwright is probably the closer with Isringhausen out, but La Russa obviously won't be afraid to play matchups at the end of the game. I suspect that Looper and Thompson are essentially ROOGYs (Right-handed One Out GuYs), and they don't strike that many people out anyway.

(Correction: Anthony Reyes will probably pitch Game 4, not Jason Marquis, who was left off the roster. That's OK -- La Russa is just swapping out one losing pitcher with a 6.02 ERA for another losing pitcher with a 5.06 ERA.
