Also, the only good thing to come out of the last three days is that I didn't get the text message of the picture of the broom that Buzz has favorited.

For those pesky double sweeps

Buzz is no longer a beisbol fan

The thing about the bullpen woes is what in the wide wide world of sports can Mike Maddux do?  These are elite pitchers with elite arms who can all bring it up there close to 100.  He can't hold a practice session and go, "Okay, but here's how you throw strikes.  Here's how you don't hit the batter in the middle of the back.  Now pay attention."

On another note, I was reading an article by some Cardinals beat writer, forget the name, and he was saying you can't make excuses for all the injuries and started throwing out all those damn metrics to prove his point.  OBPWRISP....WHISP...CRISP...BLT.....TGIFridays etc.  Honestly, I don't pay attention to any of that.  But one point he made was basically saying that Schildt is too even-keeled.  He should be slamming water coolers and kicking over buffet tables to get his team motivated.  Maybe a little of that is true, but note to the author....it's a 162 game season. That shit only works for so long.

Jar, what's your take on Schildt?

Ehhhh….  I thought of him as a mediocre hire.  I was pleasantly surprised when they won the division two years ago, but I think a lot of the issues the team has are more GM related.

Waino with an 88 pitch 2 hit CG last night. 

Granted, it was against the Pirates.

He was just as impressive at the plate.

Jake Areola gets shelled by the Brew Crew and his continued suckage earns him a ticket out of Cheecargo.

Braves in first, Cards showing signs of life...  Setting us up for a September letdown, Snags....

[Buzz Killington]

If it weren't for those 2 little pesky 11 game losing streaks, the Cubs would be right in the thick too.

I noticed the Cards picking it up and playing more gooder.  The wild card may be a possibility.  Too far out to catch the Beer Boys.

Playing the Pirates and Royals can fool ya, though.

Yep.  We've been getting a break the last few series.  Started out after the All Star break with a murderer's row, but now we've had a stretch of teams we should handle.  I'll take em' any way I can get em' after the way they've played this season.

You can thank my reverse karma. Two weeks ago I swore them off. I was done with them. They heard me. It’s true. And it’s totally proven by science. You’re welcome.

Can we have Buzz send you some of his Bama stuff, while you swear off Auburn?

Speaking of Buzz, can you please send us Kyle Hendricks.  I mean, he's 13-5 and you guys obviously aren't using him anyway.  Tell you what, we'll let you borrow Ronald Acuna, Jr. for the rest of the season.  Sound good?

Throw in some Dapper Dan and you got a deal!  That would be the best trade the Cubs made this season by far...

Auburn seems to be immune to reverse karma in regards to fans. Only when the media frowns on the Tiggers do they over-perform. Bama though? They just don't seem to gaf either way.
