Nice win for the Cardinals yesterday. Was odd having Molina play 3rd base.

Wainwright being given a starting job while Keuchel remains unsigned is....something.

His avoidance of the strike zone may seem to indicate he knows he's washed.

Wainwright costs nothing and they have 3 other arms in the minors and Alex Reyes...

I don't know, a team potentially sacrificing wins for cost efficiency doesn't seem like the most ideal method when you have serious contending goals in a loaded division/NL.

Thankfully they haven't sacrificed any wins yet although they certainly tried

5 games and a few years of heavy decline with no sign to that changing

I'm not saying that the Brewers are going to run away and hide, but someone had best tell the Cards and Cubs that the season has started.

That was lame last night but why do they just not postpone the game? It was 30-fucking degrees?

57 strike outs in 5 games.
Ouch.

I counted 64, maybe i miscounted. 15 Sunday and 17 yesterday.

Carpenter loves taking strike three and then whine to the ump. Golden Sombrero.

Dang, there is an article in the St Louis Post Dispatch suggesting that they should be called the (K)ardinals.

LOL...win one WS in over 100 years and suddenly a winning organization. How's that been working out?? I see no difference between ownership's and your "winning."

I am special, thank you for recognizing. Appreciate all the attention but I find your obsession very odd.

Nice series against texas. LOL...freaking texas. good luck with your pitching staff. LOL

You continue to have difficulty with reading comprehension. Must be all the CUBS hate you hold so deep in your heart. I never said anything about “one WS in over 100 years and suddenly a winning organization”. You did.

Rickets purchased the CUBS end of 2009. End of the 2011 season, they hired Theo Epstein. With “solid ownership, great office in place”, things started to change. It took 3 years to build up the farm system and along with a couple trades were ready to be consistently competitive in 2015.

Since 2015, the CUBS have finished the season higher than the Cardinals and have 1 WS…now, just say thank you to “your daddy” for tossing it underhand with this CUBS insight so you might understand. Move along now sonny.

Brewers play a lot like their manager did. Every out counts, and it ain't over until it's over.

Fun team to watch.

It is. Been fun so far. We ain't done much in our 48+ years but the teams that did all had that fun vibe around them.

Yes I was surprised hearing on the radio listening to the game just how cold it was. Back up this way it was near 50 last night. I didnt think that there could be that much difference with the distance between the cities and warmer up this way.

"48+ years"...that's all?

I'm afraid he may just be an inning eater for the Cards this season.

I'm afraid you're right!

Molina needs to get his bat out of the bat rack and start using it more.

1st season was 1970. Franchise started as Seattle Pilots 1969 only

NO, don't postpone because of cold weather. That sets a bad precedent.
