Hey Bry, I was thinking the same thing about the Cards nenideg to play an extra game benefiting the Phils, but I don't think it would have meant much. I do think it would have been important if Jaime Garcia was in line to start tonight, but he pitched Monday and wouldn't have been available. Lohse would have pitched tonight. It would have resulted in a need to rearrange the order of SPs, but the same guys would be going. If they played tonight, I think the order would definitely have been:1 Garcia, 2 Westbrook, 3 Carpenter, 4 Lohse, 5 Garcia. Instead, it'll be:1/2 Garcia/Lohse either order, 3 Carpenter, 4 Westbrook, 5 Garcia. This all assumes no one is pitching on 3 days rest and the Cards see Garcia as the Phillies biggest challenge (which I do)
