Pirates 10 Cardinals 0- The worst win over a good team ever

All day I was excited to see Zach Duke pitch. It was all I could think about in class, at dinner, all afternoon. We got to the park and So Taguchi was hitting cleanup for the Cards, things would be good. Six up and six down through two for Duke, it was looking like things could be special with that 4-0 lead. Hell, he even got a hit in the bottom of the second. Who cared the Wigginton was back and playing? It didn't matter that the D-Train was at first instead of Eldred. Zach Duke was on the mound and dealing. Then it happened. Grounder to short, weird looking double play. Duke kind of limped off the field, but no one asked twice. Then Salomon Torres took the mound in the bottom of the third. Everyone in 144 buzzed. Some people booed, thinking this was how we were going to reign him in. Even Jason the usher was baffled. A quick phone call was placed home to someone who had the game on TV to find out what happened, but the answering machine picked up. We quickly pieced things together, the double play. My phone rang with my dad on the other end, "They talked to Lloyd on the TV, he said Duke felt something pop in his ankle. They asked him if they removed him as a precaution as Lloyd thought that was a hopeful way of looking at things. This looks bad." The rest of the game was great, Torres took Duke's no no into the 5th. He, White, Grabow, and Vogelsong tossed 7 scoreless innings of relief. We hit the ball, hard and often. Nate McLouth hit his first big league homer (the 5th guy to do so for us this year, I wonder what the record is), "Steel" Wigginton had a decent game at the plate (somehow hitting a triple in the four run first), Duffy and Bay had two hits each, Jack Wilson had three and got his average up to .240. It would've been a fantastic game, but the injury. "Something popped in his ankle." That just sounds scary to me. It was his left ankle, the push-off ankle too. Hopefully things aren't as bad as they sound, but it's kind of hard to be positive with the history we've had on this team.

UPDATE (11:12PM)- The ESPN report is now reading that Duke is only going to miss one start, so maybe things aren't quite as bad as they intially sounded. Missing one start sounds like best-case scenario to me, I guess we'll find out more soon.
