next question

I’m going to be in St. Louis for the July 6th Cubs game. I haven’t been to St. Louis in 10 years. You guys on this board are basically my only contacts there and I’m not that familiar with this message board. I’d like to know some good local favorite restaurants to eat at that aren’t expensive and aren’t fine dining, plane tix cost too much for that. Is there anyway to post where I could get some feedback? Maybe some good ideas. I’m going to be in town for a couple of days and I hear there are some good ribs down there.

Perhaps the outfield wall should just be in a zigzag shape, while we’re at it. Put thee zigs in. Have the closest points be about 350, and the farthest be about 450. It’ll be FUN!!!

why the heck is there a pole in the middle of the field is what I'm wondering

Yeah

They’re very much in a college football mentality as they watch baseball. There’s a lot of them that are big into heavy drinking, and don’t even know who Nolan Ryan is, and just scream at opposing players, and hate many of them just for being good and on an opposing team.

But I have met some really smart and badass Astros fans, too. I’ve sat at Austin bars and compared JR Reynolds to Bob Gibson, and sat next to guys at Astros games that were very into talking strategies, and whatnot. It’s just that the loud assholes are way easier to notice

criticizing Astros fans for being baseball-illiterate, and I was thinking we already had two outs. Made the inning a little less stressful for me, however…

Seems likely

Remember when Towels started off the season with about 4 home runs before pitchers started pitching him away, and dropped him down to a .184 average with no power?

holy cow

after last year, I was sure he was going to do this year what geo soto has been doing,... instead he’s actually at .145/.270/.282 now. Wow.

Worrell should be availible

I guess Boggs is in the rotation for a spot start, now, unless they push him back for Garcia/Reyes. If so, then maybe Boggs is availible.

So if Adam is out for a week or longer what is our rotation now?

1. Lohse
2. Looper
3. Boggs??
4. Reyes??
5. Garcia??

Not good..not good at all…This is the last thing we needed for this tough schedule coming up.
Let’s pray our offense scores a TON of runs over the next few weeks.

at least they ended it quickly with a walk off home run by scott hairston.

final score 2-1. that’s their fourth win in a row with that score. i think that’s a record or some thing.
