Earl Weaver said something vaguely like that, and yea, verily, Brian Gunn's long-dormant pen goes into action:Last night’s game wasn’t the kind of subtle gem that might be spun by Greg Maddux, or Brad Radke, or Bret Saberhagen in his twilight years. It was more elemental than that: a little guy rearing back and throwing fastball after deadly fastball, a huge number of them in the mid- to high-90s. Whenever Fox showed replays of Cardinals hitters taking their swings, you’d see them either back on their heels, or pitched forward, or balanced on the sides of their shoes – anywhere but near the baseball. Oswalt only struck out six – not an unusually high number – but it was still a great piece of minimalist art, brutally simple. The Cards had a couple chances, but really, as long as Oswalt was on the mound you never really felt like they were in it.
