Edited the times for the games with the rainout considered, however La Russa may bump up Carpenter to game 2 instead of 3 but that isn't official yet

Great news considering he's pitched to a 4.70 ERA on the road compared to his sub 2ERA at home. Also lefties are hitting .266 off him compared to righties hitting .210.

Flat Albert

Rips Glavine, despite taking 0-fer

BY PETER BOTTE
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

Albert Pujols goes 0-for-3 but gives Met pitching no credit.
Albert Pujols was less than impressive in last night's NLCS opener. He was even less impressed with Mets starter Tom Glavine.

A peeved Pujols snapped at reporters following his 0-for-3 outing that included a costly baserunning blunder in the Mets' 2-0 Game 1 win, claiming that Glavine wasn't fooling any of the St. Louis hitters and that the NL Central champs should have lit up the lefty.

"He wasn't good. He wasn't good at all," Pujols said of Glavine, who threw seven innings of four-hit ball for the victory. "I think we hit the ball hard, we didn't get some breaks.

"I say he wasn't good at all. We just didn't get some opportunities and that's it. . . . (Glavine did the) same thing that he always does. Throw a changeup, fastball and that was it. I just think we should've done a better job than we did."


There's no argument that Pujols could have done a better job than he did. The first baseman lined out hard to infielders Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado in his final two of three official at-bats. He also struck out swinging on a 2-2 changeup from Glavine to end the first inning, and let Glavine escape the fourth when he was doubled off first base on a flyout to shallow center field.

Still, Pujols barked that his off night was no big deal.

"Why can I be frustrated? I can't make a mistake?" Pujols snapped at the reporters who waited him out after the game. "Am I perfect?"

One of those wasted opportunities Pujols alluded came on a rare mistake on the basepaths by the man manager Tony La Russa described as "an outstanding baserunner, and I'm not exaggerating."

After drawing a one-out walk in the fourth, Pujols strayed too far off first on Juan Encarnacion's fly to shallow center and got doubled up on a one-hop throw by Carlos Beltran. "I didn't think anything. Double play, that's it," Pujols said. "It's part of the game."

"He's an outstanding baserunner. Part of it is aggressiveness and almost always he mixes in good sense. That was the exception," La Russa said. "When he first read it, he read blooper, but the ball hung up in the wind and it was basically a mistake - a rare one for him."

Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter will try to overcome whatever mistakes his teammates make tonight in Game 2, but Pujols said it "doesn't matter who we've got out there pitching - we need to score some runs, and we didn't swing the bat well today."

Beginning with Pujols, who is hitless in his last 10 at-bats dating back to Game 3 of the division series against San Diego.

"We have nine guys here in the lineup, so I don't look at it like that," Pujols said. "(It's) just one game, my man. Hopefully we can come (tonight) and even the series and go home."

Trax gave up 2 runs in the first. Then a HR to Jeff Suppan in the 2nd. Now leaves with the bases loaded, Darren Oliver now in the game.

Terrible job by Trax!

Wild pitch scores a run, and an RBI groundout for Edmonds. 5-0 Cards.

The offense has to get going. I dont give a f*ck if he hit a homerun, kill Jeff Suppan. Hes a scrub piece of sh*t. Oliver did a good job considering what he was thrown into, sure the wild pitch sucked, but its 5-0 with 7 innings left and the Mets have an offense that can score...

Lets do this f*ckers...dont let this series be marred by that Chinamans homerun.

Oliver has done a GREAT job in keeping the Muets in that game and not blowing out the bullpen.
