At the very least, Rick Ankiel is laying the groundwork for a run at the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation next season.

Whaddya think? Let him close tonight? He threw only 99 pitches and he was still pumping high-octane gas at the end. Curt Schilling might be good for a batter or two in a pinch tonight.

One night it's Julian Tavarez , the reliever turned emergency starter. The next, it's Kason Gabbard , a lefthander who began the season in Double A, had lost all three big-league decisions attached to his name, and had been regularly lit up when sent back to Triple A Pawtucket (1-7, 5.23 ERA).

First, Marco Scutaro. Now, Manny Ram&#xED;rez. It's not supposed to work this way. A starting pitcher is not supposed to pitch seven or eight innings and give up one solo home run -- and take the loss. It's certainly not supposed to happen two starts in a row.

The lineup was loaded with guys who won&#39;t be playing in next week&#39;s playoff games. Not one of the relievers who came out of the bullpen has a shot to make the postseason roster.

Only one of the four pitchers the St. Louis Cardinals sent to the mound Friday night gave up fewer runs than innings pitched, and he is normally a third baseman. Scott Spiezio pitched the final inning and the Cardinals lost 14-3 to the Oakland Athletics, a night after allowing 17 runs to the Kansas City Royals.

The margin of error is so tiny that Josh Beckett was actually chiding himself for throwing a fastball high and away to Eric Chavez in the fourth inning that resulted in the A's first run.

Maybe the next time a Boston pitcher takes a no-hit bid into the ninth inning, he'll listen to catcher Jason Varitek. Curt Schilling came within one out of his first career no-hitter Thursday, losing his bid when Shannon Stewart lined a clean single to right field after Schilling shook off his catcher.

The reliever was an original Marlin in 1993 and has a career mark of 51-62 with a 4.49 ERA. Weathers has also pitched for the Mets and the Astros this season, but has been out of action since Houston released him last month.
