With a chance to capitalize on a rare Houston Astro win over the Reds, the Cardinals were not able to, as they fell to the New York Mets 10-8 on Wednesday . Our man Albert went 2-5, with 2 more rbi's, pushing him even closer to the leader, Ryan Howard. Albert is now in the top three in all three offensive categories.
The Cardinals are now only 7 games above .500 with 37 games to go, and more importantly only lead the second place Reds by 1 game.
Tomorrow Albert faces Dave Williams, a guy he is hitting .1000 against on the season. Time for Albert to literally carry the Cardinals on his back and get a "W" tomorrow in the big Apple.
