Well, Snaggs...it's a battle of the second half unbeatens in the ATL starting tonight. I predict an Atlanta sweep.

Not listening. Don't hear you. La La La La laaaaa....

I hope you both lose.

Almost happened. Up 4-1 going into the bottom of the ninth...held on to win 4-3 with the bases loaded.

I hope tonights game goes 47 innings, and every Cub pitcher blows their arm out and has to get Tommy John surgery, and then Chris Byrant gets convicted of income tax evasion, and then Joe Maddon decides he wants to manage St Louis.

Cards lose when Trevor ~~Rosenthal~~ Blosenthal fails to cover first on a routine play. UFB.

And Cards Twitter it funnier than Bama twitter when they suck.

Ortiz is a write for the St Louis Post-Dispatch

The #STLCards are an embarrassment under Mike Matheny this season. Bill DeWitt Jr. betrays fans by accepting these lack of fundamentals.

Belleville is a station manager for the local CBS channel.

This team doesn't deserve to be in such a bad division. They deserve to be 10+ games out with such little league play. #STLCards

From the non-verified people:
The #STLCards should sell an "angry fan pkg" where fans can pay money to yell at the team until you feel better. I'd pay $200 for 5 minutes.

#Cardinals relievers overachieving their goal of making the team sellers this season. #StLCards

But my favorite:

Jar, I think your evaluation of Jaime Garcia just got legs. The Braves hit the .500 mark at the All Star break. They promptly get swept by the steroid injected Cubs. Go to Los Angeles to face the hottest team (by far) in baseball in the Dodgers. Win game 1, 6-3. They're up 9-0 in the 5th after Garcia hits a grand salami off the best pitcher, numbers-wise, in the NL, Alex Woods.

Braves going nowhere. Could lose a 9-0 lead. But Garcia is taking his trade stock to a new level.

Cards drop 2 of 3 against the Cubs, and are now in 4th place in the division.

They did a lot of strange stuff this series, in that they called up Carson Kelley from Memphis. Kelley is the Cards #1 minor league prospect, but he's a catcher, and that's a tough position to break into the bigs when Molina is there (and especially when Molina signs an extension keeping him here through 2021). They had him start on Friday, and take some pinch hits Saturday and Sunday. Speculation is that some other teams wanted to scout him.

Texas is sending scouts to Iowa...sounding like Yu Darvish could be a possibility for the Cubs.

My opinion is price would be WAY too high. Doubt he gets dealt for anything less than top notch talent. Unless of course the Rangers feel that they aren't going to sign Darvish in the off-season. Or I guess if the KNOW they will sign him in the off-season regardless. Either way, it's a huge gamble.
