We'll watch Blood Diamond first, but maybe tonight is as good as any to tell my wife her rock is a cubic gyorkonia.

Cardinals center fielder Tommy Pham was removed from St. Louis’ game against the New York Mets on Wednesday night in the bottom of the third inning due to a head injury sustained earlier in the day.

Pham got a cut on his head before the game when he accidentally hit himself in the indoor batting cage.

Pham, who has been battling hamstring issues, missed games on Saturday and Sunday against Cincinnati. He returned to the lineup Monday and went 3 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs in a 6-5 loss to the Mets.

Pham hit a fly ball to right field in the first inning. Harrison Bader then pinch-hit for him in the third.

So Brebbia has now pitched 56 2/3 innings in the big leagues with a 2.22 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 9.2 K and 1.7 BB/9 and can't get meaningful innings in a bullpen that's mostly bad. This is the kind of thing that happens to players with no pedigree obviously. But the Cardinals are simultaneously losing games with a Rule 5 guy. Strange.

I'm still stoked about the squeeze. It's my favorite play in baseball.

I assume the nails helped him to calculate launch angle while swinging.

How else do you think he convinced Matheny to let him hit lead off?
