Cards, I-Rod

My St. Louis Cards reached .500 (for a day anyway). Not bad for a team 8 games under earlier this month. Now Pujols is playing like the monster he is, the pitching is decent, and Rick Ankiel's comeback as a position player after flunking out as a wild pitcher is inspiring. It helps, too, that they play in the weakest division in the majors!

Ivan Rodriquez doesn't get the attention he deserves. At age 35, Pudge is already the all-time leader in doubles among catchers with 498, having passed Ted Simmons earlier this year. He should have about 2500 hits by the end of the year, which gives him a pretty decent shot at being the first catcher ever to achieve 3000 hits. Cooperstown should be awaiting his arrival whether he makes that milestone or not.
