Fresh from finishing Sunday’s game, it didn’t matter Monday if the Cardinals’ latest addition to the pitching staff could bounce back to give them an inning. Albert Pujols could rest his right arm. “Once he gets a little treatment we’ll see,” manager Oliver Marmol said, humoring a reporter’s question on Pujols’ availability. “We weren’t willing to use him on back-to-back days anyways.” With a thunderstorm warning for the area, the Mets preemptively rescheduled the opener of their series against the Cardinals at Citi Field for a doubleheader Tuesday. Splotches of downpours did arrive in Queens, around the ballpark, an hour or two before the scheduled game time. First pitch of the four-game series now will be at 2:10 p.m. St. Louis time Tuesday, and it will be a true single-ticket doubleheader with both games going at least nine innings and the second game coming around 40 minutes after the first. Storm clouds gathered for this series more than a week ago — but not ones sodden with precipitation. The kind that rumble with premeditation. [/QUOTE]
