They want to win, correct? Are they both that tired, were they up to 4am playing doctor? I don't get it. Explain, maybe it is simple and I missed a REAL injury.

Football players rip apart there hamstrings and play the same game. He has a discoloration and he sits. Not a big deal if Beltran is there, but if you give Holiday a day off for a bruise, you can't give your big bopper one off for being sleepy.

As a Cardinals fan it really irritates me, but we have an injury prone team and need to stay healthy down the stretch. After the first couple weeks of play I told myself I wouldn't bet on a Cardinals day game until the lineups were released because of this reason.

I hear ya, I don't agree with it either. Matheny has done some questionable garbage as the new skipper so far. i.e. Pinch hitting a 3-32 life time batter against Randy Wolf in Lance Berkman with runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out. Naturally, Berkman strikes out and they eventually strand both runners in a one run game.

Not sure if you've played both. You barely move for two hours in a baseball game, most injuries are diue to a lack of movement and proper stretching (outside of pitcherrs arms)
