word is Ankiel is working out with trainers watching, TLR has 2 lineups in his hand, 1 with ankiel, the other without. when they come to a conclusion on if he can play or not, Bernie will then post them up and I'll relay it here

It'd be nice for Glaus to finally get a hit against the Cubs.

Please let Ankiel be available. I really don't want to see Lopez in LF again (or on the 25 man roster for that matter).

Maybe he'll pop his Cardinal Cherry this series and go on a tear for all 3 games

[mcgee51taguchi99]

This is the first time I have had a really, really bad feeling about a Cards/Cubs series in a very long time. Looper starting certainly is not helping things. That said, Cards win 17-1.

[Ace]

Looper starting certainly is not helping things.

Why? He's been great against the Cubs in the past.
