With the traffic that the other thread has been experiencing, I didnt think this would be necessary. Alas, the other thread was lagging. Were up 4-2 on a LaRue double to right center. Loop is pitching his backside off. The offense has been pecking away all night, finally paid off. Jason LaRue Hits Pitching looking real solid Fish on the barbee Ok, so I'm not so good at the haiku. Oh, Go Cards!

Hopefully someone can help me. I'm looking to go to a game this Saturday before I have to report back to base in Houston. My flight out is on Sunday morning, and I would need a Hotel/Motel that has Metro nearby (within walking distance w/luggage), or a short cab ride so I can get to Lambert in time to depart. If yall have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

With the pitching performances of the last week, I have seen a Rey(es) of hope.  After looking at the schedule for before and after the ASB, we have a good shot (DL returns healthy provided and pitching remaining effective), at having a good year....on paper anyway.  Here's how it shakes out; we still have a pile of games left against opp. in our division, as well as vs. bottom feeder teams.  Though the row may be tough to hoe, it can still be done.  After all, we are in the weakest division in baseball.

Games left for the year ID
MIL 10  (4 before ASB)
CHI 11  (3 before ASB)
PIT 10  (1 before ASB)
CIN 07  (2 before ASB)
HOU 07  (0 before ASB)

Currently as we all know (painfully I might add, IMO), we are 9.5 GB with 10 games to play ID remaining.  Now, I dont see us sweeping those 10 games, but a 6-4 or 7-3 record couldnt hurt.  Also, before the ASB we play cellar dwellers like FLA  3x's and SFO 3x's.  That schedule doesn't look to daunting...again on paper...to surmount.

Here's to the rest of the season, before or after the ASB.

GO CARDS!
