Going into this season gave the Cardinals a chance of winning this division. But here they are, 4.5 games up on the Cubs.
Er…. right.

Just FYI
Today, at 84 degrees (according to the National Weather Service) is 1 degree above the normal termperature for this date. If you take Fox’s temp at 80, it’s 3 degrees below. Either way, bodes well for 4-5 runs scored by the offense :).
Pujols drives to the the wall in left. Inning over.

cant throw strikes. And we are going to let him off the hook I bet.

I dont comment on your thoughts, dont comment on mine.
Im not sure i understand your
fascination with being the board den mother..
But you, were happily right there. We took advantage.
there is nothing negative
about thinking the cubs will waste pitches or make a mediocre pitcher look good.
They have established that as a track record.
I hate hopelessly and unrealistic optimism but I dont comment on your posts.

Pujols flies out to Bradley.
This should quiet McCarver down a little bit.

Lilly isn't worried about the runner
he’s working on destroying base runners with only a stare

Well, with the exception of the 5th inning on WGN radio.

I’d take Judd over Buck/McCarver any day of the week.

No
He didn’t argue
"Do you want a bunch of duds walking around with their shoulders slumped and having no emotions, no feelings?" Bradley said. "I don’t think the fans want that. I think they want a guy who’s going to get into the game and feel a little bit. I’ve always said, ‘I don’t really play baseball, I feel it.’ "

Watch the replay
He was looking at his bat walking to the dugout.
"Do you want a bunch of duds walking around with their shoulders slumped and having no emotions, no feelings?" Bradley said. "I don’t think the fans want that. I think they want a guy who’s going to get into the game and feel a little bit. I’ve always said, ‘I don’t really play baseball, I feel it.’ "
Milton Bradley gets on base the weirdest ways.
Walks, HBP, and dropped third strikes…
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
come on now mccarver
he wasn’t going to argue. he was just walking away. give him a break.
