See! The Cardinals had a whole different offensive look with Brandon Moss on their 25-man roster.
They were able to out-hit their mistakes -- and there were mistakes everywhere, in the field, on the bases, on the mound -- and outlast the Colorado Rockies 9-8 in a sloppy marathon Thursday night.
Alas, Moss didn't contribute to the outburst. He almost dumped a bloop RBI single into left field, but the ball didn't touch down on his first at-bat as a Cardinal. He didn't to the standing ovation welcome he received at the plate.
And this victory did little to ease criticism of the deal that sent elite pitching prospect Rob Kaminsky to Cleveland to get him.
