Agreed! the only reason to hate on Eckstein is 'cause he beats you.
As for Eckstein's hits: both teams were on the same field under the same conditions. Granderson's slip was critical, yes. Duncan slipped, so did Preston. Fortunately for the Cardinals, those didn't cause any damage. On a dry field, Monroe would have been playing a bit deeper, and quite likkely sould have caught that ball that tipped his glove. So what? The pitcher's errors were more devastating than both of those plays.
