Jeff Weaver's Next Bestest Game Ever: Cardinals 4, Mets 2
At the rate Jeff Weaver's mowing 'em down in this postseason, the Yankees may want him back... but that's another league and another division. But yikes! How do you explain his sudden resurgence, and against a pretty credible Mets attack? And even despite his normal moping at calls he didn't get, and ball-snapping after surrendered runs?
Update: It gets better. The Mets have declared that all pitchers will be available for the next two NLCS games, opening the door to the possibility that there may be no rested starters when the World Series starts in Detroit on Saturday. Yowza.
Well, whatever. The Cubs might be happy if Weaver returns to St. Louis after this series, but it's, for now, something of a rejuvenation. Outside of the fourth inning, Weaver allowed but one baserunner to get to third; he even had the opportunity, in the bottom of the fourth, to break the game open with two out and the bases loaded, but we don't expect much from pitchers and so leave him off the hook.
But getting back to Weaver's pitching, he ends the day with a 2.16 ERA in three postseason starts this year. Call it $2 million he's just earned now.
