The favorite player of the majority of my readership is out for two weeks with an injury to his side.

Aaron Miles and Jolbert Cabrera will now get more playing time at shortstop for the Cardinals in spring training.

Let the record reflect that I actually like David Eckstein, but I'm shamefully playing to my public.

On the bright side, he has time to get back into his tree bakery to whip up some of those delicious fudge striped cookies.

But will Eck be able to make those cookies without his leader's gritty inspiration?

The real question is, how are the Cardinals going to replace his performance.

Oh, that's right. His EQA was 16 points below league average. It shouldn't be hard.

4 you invoked "his" name?

Jayson Stark mentioned him yesterday with regard to his 3 scoreless innings in an ST game on Thursday.

I did some follow-up research ....

"With regard to Russ Ortiz pitching 3 or more scoreless innings, here's a little extra useless info ...
The last time Ortiz recorded at least 9 consecutive outs at ANY point in ANY game?
9/4/05 vs. SF

He retired 15 in a row after giving up a run-scoring single to J.T. Snow with 1 out in the 1st."
