Mulder on his way to his 13th win of the season…

Pitching on his birthday for the first time in his career, Mulder (13-5) scattered seven hits in seven innings with three strikeouts and two walks to win his fifth straight decision over eight starts. The 28-year-old has a 2.05 ERA during the streak.

“It was a little weird,” Mulder said. “My parents and everybody is here, so I’m glad I pitched well or I’d be in a bad mood right now.”

Mulder in today’s game… (AP Photo)

The Cardinals game was on. It’s very interesting listening to a Dodgers game. Non stop talk from ONE person. Wow!… Mulder should have won that game. He left with the freakin’ lead! But noooooo, the Dodgers came back to tie it. The good thing, of course, is that the Cards still managed the win. Woohoo!!!

I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!!! I enjoyed it very much and look forward to the rest of the tale. I will say, I nearly cried at the end. Alas… Now I think I’ll start all over again and read each book once more. 😆
