_______________________________________ _________

Wainwright will try to lead the surging Cardinals to their fifth win in six games when they wrap up a weekend series against Chico and the Nationals on Sunday.

Wainwright (4-3, 6.02 ERA) looks to post his fourth straight win at Busch Stadium for St. Louis (20-26). In April, the right-hander was 0-2 with an 8.71 ERA at home for the defending World Series champions. In May, though, Wainwright has turned around his fortunes, going 3-0 with a 2.60 ERA at Busch.

Chico (3-4, 5.54) will try again to post his first career win on the road for the Nationals. The rookie left-hander is 0-4 with a 6.31 ERA in five road appearances, while going 3-0 with a 4.74 ERA in five home starts.

He failed to record a decision in his last outing, allowing three hits over 5 2-3 innings on Tuesday in an 8-4 win at Cincinnati. Two of those hits, though, were two-run homers by Ken Griffey Jr. and David Ross .

Fick starting in RF

I'm in Phoenix and am about to go golfing in 100+ degree heat (still not as bad as D.C. area humidity). Hopefully we can steal this game but if not I am happy with a 4-3 road trip.

I just read on ESPNews that Wainwright has a 2.60 ERA in his last three home starts.

I take it that after last night's loss Chief is back to watching games.

Don Baylor is a terrible analyst.

I was just thinking the same thing. He seems almost clueless in front of the camera.

That's a good one.

I predict a 4-3 game or something like that.

NICE one Dmitri.

These strike calls are terrible!

The good Clinton or the bad Clinton?

edit- and I'm talking about Bill in both cases.

The loss yesterday meant that I had to ditch my old avatar...think this expresses my high hopes?

Chico needs to get quicker outs. He's burning through too many pitches.

saltydad · « **Reply #19:** May 27, 2007, 02:56:45 PM »

I seem to have chased everyone away

Just logged on. Doesn't look like I missed anything. How's Chico look today?

Kilgore Trout · « **Reply #21:** May 27, 2007, 03:00:55 PM »

41 pitches through 2... guess he doesn't make it past the 5th inning

PC · « **Reply #22:** May 27, 2007, 03:01:26 PM »

This is unbelievable. Wainright's ERA is almost six, for cripes sake!

PC · « **Reply #23:** May 27, 2007, 03:03:35 PM »

Can we copy Felipe in the lineup, 8 more times?

PC · « **Reply #24:** May 27, 2007, 03:11:35 PM »

Well, that was a quick inning for Chico, FINALLY!
