Scuffling in St. Louis

Brett Myers' struggles continue as he's lifted in the 5th with a run in, two on, none out and the game tied at 3. Granted it's against a very tough Cardinals lineup, but between his horrid spring performance and that 8-ish ERA in three starts, I wonder if this might not be turning into a lost season for the former can't-miss hurler. Is he hurt? Mechanics fouled up? Just Nuke LaLooshing? Stay tuned.

Update (6:58pm): Ryan Madson comes in to retire Edmonds, Rolen and Renteria without any damage! Myers might not be long for the rotation; Madson doesn't have Brett's heater or killer 12-6 curve, but his changeup is apparently lethal. Great job to preserve the 3-3 tie.
