Cardinals @ Cubs 1:20pm

St. Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs


Chances are good that the Cubs -- whose magic number is 2 -- will clinch against the Cardinals during this series.  That's going to be a hard celebration to stomach so I would suggest bracing yourself (or stocking up on the Franklins).

Wainwright vs. Zambrano this afternoon.  Maybe the no-hitter sapped Big Z and we'll just knock him around.  Maybe...

Soto scratched from the lineup

X-Rays show joint irritation in the wrist or hand.

Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.

Watching gameday at ground level

so I put my gameday display so that it looks like I am watching it from the Umpires point of view, completely flat till the mound comes up, you can see some wicked movement on Z’s pitches, especially the wild pitch had some weird twists and turns, I have a renewed respect for what these hitters are trying to do up there.

Z threw a fit

and Lou told him to get his ass back on the mound and then went and took the ball from him.

Z walked off and then almost tore his shirt open at about the 3rd base line.

I actually don’t mind the homers. I appreciate that they love their team, unless they just show wild lack of knowledge.

but shouldn’t the homer actually be able to form a sentence? A bunch of ‘uhs’, ‘ohmans’, ‘gurgglegurggle’ in a row is not quality color broadcasting.

I've actually never had to listen to Santo very much at all

Today, Hughes asked him to give the breakdown on Zambrano

and he said “What can we say? Last time out, he was the Carlos was the Carlos we’ve all learned to know and love. When he pitches like that, he’s so great. What I was most impressed was with how he was throwing 98 mph.”

Dynamite! Guy throws his first career no-hitter and the velocity is what you were most impressed with? And way to throw out an overplayed cliche.

The Blues opened up training camp today

out at the Mills. It’s an exciting time – the time just prior to the season where every team is tied and every team is a Stanley Cup hopeful. You remember late-March, i presume. Even with our lowered expectations for the team, you still probably followed the goings-on and play-by-plays and practice drills and found glimmers of hope for the upcoming baseball season. Same with the Blues.

I’ve always found it funny that I can invest so entirely in the baseball season, watching every game and following almost every pitch and then, when it ends, it’s always, “Well, time to watch hockey!” It’s just funny, is all, that after all that time, I can just shut down my Cardinals fan-ness and put on my Blues hat so easily.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

I've rewound it a couple of times

and I think it was just careless. Ramirez seemed to look back at it like he realized it was going towards Wainwright. Don’t think he did it on purpose.

PHI v FLA: 0-3 PHI
HOU v PIT: 3 – 0 HOU

Monday morning:
PHI: -
MIL: 1.0
FLA: 2.5
HOU: 2.5
STL: 4.5

If my math is wrong, get over it.

I wasn't saying we were going to the playoffs

This team is so frustrating

that after losing 7 straight game, they could win the rest of their 10 games and miss the playoffs by 1 game.
