Did you watch it? They did it all with 2 outs, nonetheless. That was crazy! 2 out and a runner on, the following sequence happened.
A 4-pitch walk A HBP on the first pitch to the next batter A single to right on the first pitch to the next batter A single to left on the first pitch to the next batter (in a mere 7 pitches, it's a 4-3 game!) A 4-pitch walk Pitching change Walk the tying run in A HBP to score the winning run
My only question is why was Busch Stadium so empty? A perennial playoff contender and the stands were bare!
Don't have an answer for you there. A Monday night on a super humid and hot evening? It's been gnarly weather-wise this week. Anyway, Cards are slipping big time. They just can't seem to stack up wins this year. I thought maybe there was a glimmer last week - we could have cut the Cubs down to 5.5 game lead, but instead we lost a bunch of inexplicable games against the Braves of all teams. Oh well - still watching, still loving and you never know what will happen. Still plenty of ball to be played last time I checked.
At this point im just going to enjoy Weaver on Saturday and watching Reyes last night was nice...this team can't win consistently at home and its killed them
Yeah, Reyes man, wow. Kid has some talent for sure. Season ain't over until it's over, so you just never know. That's part of why I love baseball so much. So many variables at work each game, all season long. Things can turn around or down for any team. Cubs haven't won anything yet, nobody has. Pundits are already lining up their cute little playoff scenarios. Fuck em' - two months of baseball left.

I'll PM you a congratulations if they make it all the way this year. Until then, nothing had been decided, locked in or set. Looking forward to the 4 game set coming up!

No need. I'm just looking at the records for both teams this year. Based on that, the cubs have won a lot more.

Sorry Garfunkel... But your team took a beating today!
Bad one too. What an embarassing loss. Just shows who's the better team this year. Cubbies looking fuckin' solid guys. Hope we can get that second wild card spot. Looking doubtful though. Too many holes, too many problems.

I've watched alot of Cubs games [thank you WGN & Grandpa], this team looks better than any I've seen probably ever. I hope you guys do it. Love seeing the NLC represent!!

C'mon, Speedy! History NEVER repeats!
It's fitting you say that. I used to umpire youth baseball in the Detroit area. One day, in 2003, I look down at the catchers name, and it's Leyland. I turn around, and Jim fucking Leyland is standing 20 feet behind the backstop. We ended up having a lightening storm in the 4th inning, and me and my buddy end up standing next to him in the shelter. We talk baseball for with him for a half hour, he's wearing his marlins 1997 WS championship ring, let's us wear it a sec, then I ask him, "so, skip, how bout them cubbies this year?" He responds "yeah, they have the best staff - should probably win it all - but it's the Cubs. They'll find a way to fuck it up." We all know how that ended.

Unreal. I really like that guy.
will myself to find a home, a home within myself we will find a way, we will find our place
Hopefully we haven't lost Holliday for the year. Let's hope Waino brings his 'A' game this afternoon!
I have no idea what happened, but his slide on scutaro in '12 was very bad cosmic juju
If I had known then what I know now...

You think it's time for Matheny to go? Great motivator, but I read an article the other day that talked about his strategic inadequacies, both long and short term.
I'm wondering if his pep talks are starting to ring hollow to this group of players.

I see what you're saying, and he's definitely made some bone-headed moves for sure. His inexperience reared it's ugly head that first year as head coach making it to the World Series. He's pretty young for a head coach still - but I believe he's the Cardinals long term guy. Besides, they are poised to make a possible 6th consecutive return to the playoffs this year and I don't think talent alone has taken them there the past 3 seasons.

Local/regional news casts Matheny as a 'players guy'. Very popular in the clubhouse. Is there room for managerial growth? Yep, every single day. Honestly, when he took over, I expected the Cardinals to fade pretty quickly, but they've surprised me for sure. I don't think they've faded as much as the Pirates and Cubs have become stellar ballclubs and have made the Central competitive once again.
