What's weirder: seeing Ichiro in a Yankees uniform or Chad Billingsley with facial hair? Bills showed up to Busch Stadium with a fresh beard and a fresh arm today; we're not sure which was responsible, but he held the Cardinals to seven hits and one earned run, throwing 100 pitches over six innings. Offensively, the unusual suspects contributed: Luis Cruz hit a surprise three-run home run in the second, and Mark Ellis hit a two-run double in the seventh.
Ronald Belisario wobbled in the eighth, allowing a two-run homer to Carlos Beltran, but Kenley Jansen sewed it up for the save. Dodgers have won five straight. Giants are currently winning in San Diego, but at least their 1.5-game lead won't get any bigger.

Casey Blake says that's no beard.
Billingsley ain't writing any manifestos in his cabin any time soon, that's for sure

I just realized that beating St. Louis also helps in a potential wild card race.
SF 7, SD 1, top 7.
Padres go meekly into the night

I'm drinking Sapporo. And about to go to sleep.
Anyone else up?
These earlyish games blow.
But at least we won!
I'm still awake.
Wow another win. We go for a six pack tomorrow.
