very short on time this afternoon --- just have a few minutes to rush up a game thread. the cardinals have won 10 of their last 12 at home; they've only swept one home series all year, may 22-24 vs the pirates. albert's in the lineup tonight, ouchie and all; ankiel's hitting 2d and playing left; molina gets a day off; duncan in lf, ryan at 2b. the cubs lost 4-1 this afternoon, so a win pulls the cardinals to within 2 games for the first time since april 18. . . . .
