NL Central thread

Brewers sign Gio. $2 million. If he can get some decent innings, it's a plus signing. If not, not much harm.

Nice to see the Cardinals win last night while trying to get younger.

Yes it was and the bottom of the 8th inning was sweet!

The "while trying to get younger" was a play on Ponce de Leon pitching.

Yes, I knew what you meant about 'while trying to get younger' and I should have included in my post what a solid job Ponce de Leon did for us.

Get out the brooms Cardinals fans as we sweep the Brewers in this series and got our REVENGE as we get to 5-5 vs. the Brew Crew this season after embarrassing ourselves in two series in Milwaukee.

No matter what happens in the NL Central tonight we will still be in 1st place when the sun rises tomorrow morning with a day off tomorrow. GO REDBIRDS!

Gotta love the fountain of youth

You're right since I'm older than dirt.

The NL Central is going to be brutal. I think they will beat each other up and all teams end up around the .500 range.

A great example of what you said above is that even though the Brewers have come back down to earth and the Pirates have cooled off some the Cubs have now won 8 out of their last 10 so yes, the NL Central is going to be brutal for any team in this division to separate themselves from the rest of the pack in my opinion.

As long as we stay ahead of the Cubs. 7 of the Cardinals last 10 games will be against the Cubs (4 in Chicago).

Yes, and the Cubs have had our number for the most part in recent years whether it's at home or away. I said before the season started that I fear the Cubs more than I fear the Brewers but I respect both of them.

Not a good start to the Reds series. A 12-1 shellacking.
Was cool to see Gyorko pitch and get a strike out.

I hope we didn't use up all of our energy sweeping the Brew Crew!

Nice win today.

Some of these Cardinals fans have the weakest "trash talk" I've ever seen on a message board. Talking about respect and congratulating division rivals on wins. That's weak ass shit

 

[Myles]

We aren't trash talkers. We are just baseball fans.

Pirates lose their 7th in a row!! time to hit the panic button.

 

[tomcat1]

Nice win today.

Yes it was!

All teams have both winning and losing streaks during the course of a long season so don't hit the panic button just yet.

Arizona is such a stupid team. Dyson with a lead off single in the 10th, he is 223-264 in steal attempts(84%), and Adam Jines doesn't give him chance to steal. One failed bunt attempt then GIDP.
