Not picking on you, but without looking it up do you know the Cards' ST record last year?

15-14-1, off of the top of my head. But I think you missed my point. I am just saying that in ST there are so many guys battling for spots and it would make sense to let them play a little more to give more guys more chances to do things. That's what I was saying. But lemme go look up the 06 ST record now....

So yeah I can't find the record but I think my guess was at least close.

Reyes: 1 hit in 4 and a third innings. That makes heyzeus happy.

If there was a shortage of work I think we would hear players, managers, GMs asking MLB for more games. The games are only part of the work players get in during ST. Managers prepare for these games with 9 or maybe 10 innings in mind, not 9 or 10 or maybe instead 12 or 13 or whatever the score dictates.
