Continued from over at AOL.

The top of the fourth inning ended so fast that I didn’t have time to observe anything; Rogers is just tearing through this lineup. Make him work, guys.

A rare cogent observation from Tim McCarver; he noted that Sean Casey wasn’t pushing off his back leg. The usual Fox battery of replays, for once, didn’t contradict him. Casey leans way into a pitch and gets on base. That’s just a terrible call from the officials; I’ve never seen someone be so blatant about it.

And, of course, it leads into a nightmare scenario; bases loaded, nobody out, lefty at the plate. And Weaver strikes out Curtis Granderson on three straight curveballs. He had a reputation for being a headcase, but Weaver’s looked pretty unflappable since joining the Cardinals. He then proceeds to drop sidearm for his first pitch against Craig Monroe; the guy certainly isn’t afraid top try things differently in the middle of a game.

Molina and Weaver should just invest in some walkie-talkies–they’ve had a lot to say to each other thus far. Another first pitch sidearm slider from Weaver to Polanco, and then a groundout. What an inning! Were the Yankees and the Angels watching the same pitcher I’m watching now? This guy wouldn’t be spooked if Ty Cobb came up from underneath home plate swinging a pitchfork.

Fox Sounds of the Game and Preston Wilson both finally prove their worth in the same exchange: “I haven’t seen this many people with painted cat faces since… I don’t know, Cats.” Can we trade him to the booth for Eric Byrnes? I wouldn’t have to hear Byrnes yell into the microphone!! like he’s calling Hulk Hogan out for a steel cage match, and I wouldn’t have to watch Preston strike out. This would be a best-of-both-worlds scenario.

Weaves did his job, but once again the offense has failed to put runs on the board against a soft-tossing lefty. Kenny Rogers has officially made my least-favorite-pitchers list, although it’s been fun to see sportswriters pretend they had nothing to do with his old Playoff Choker persona.

And down go the Cardinals; it’s important to know that Todd Jones sucks, at least.
