The Post Lockout 2022 MLB Thread

Cards getting a little separation at 66-51, three games up on the Beer Makers. 7-3 in their last 10. Poo-Holes goes yard with a Slammie for his 690th. This guy might start getting some mention for the HOF when he hangs it up.

Bravos get a little payback, taking 3 of 4 from the Mets after they took our lunch money in NY recently. Went 1-1 with Scherzer and deGrom in the series. I'll take it every time. Unfortunately, the Stros come to town today, and we'll probably have to face Verlander in the series. Maybe he has a hang nail.

Pujols set two records yesterday. First pinch hit grand slam in the 3rd inning. And the Cards became the first team to have a 40+ year old hit a granny in the same game where a 40+ year old pitched 7+ of no run ball.

I'm not a Cheatin' Cards fan, and I'm gonna' miss Wainwright.

On a pitching note, I saw a recent interview with Tom Glavine. He said he watches pitchers now and just flat out gets mad. Just like I've been harping on forever, he basically said these guys don't pitch. They just give 110% effort on every pitch to try and hit 100 m.p.h. He said I figured out that even though I could get it up there at 93, I could put it where I wanted by just backing off. Quoted Warren Spahn. "Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing."

To Waino.

Wait...are you saying you're not keeping your calendar open for the World Series clash between the Cardinals and Yankees? Must watch TV!!!!

I'll tune back in for that.

Sweep of the lowly Pirates. In fact, the Braves won every game against the Buccos this year. That's a bad team. Never heard of a soul on the roster.

Now, we go from the outhouse to the Penthouse (I love the "Forum" section) when we visit the Cheatin' Cards. As hot as anyone in the biesbols. 19 games over .500 going into today's action.

June 1 - Mets have a 10.5 game lead over ATL and 12.5 over Phils.

Aug 24 - Mets have a 1.5 game lead over ATL. Who gives a F about the Phils.

Mets have to be going - what...the....F. They also have an aging and gimpy roster they spent a ton of money on. I am still holding to the notion that Scherzer and deGrom will not make it to Oct in Top Form.

Especially when the Cubs win today and take the 5 game series.

I thought for sure that AU1 would be all up in here since, for the first time in 57 years, his Baltimore Glory Holes are kicking some ass. 9 in a row now, and I believe above .500.

Look, I've been busy. Some of us have to work for a living! Plus I am not going to mention said above team. Nope, Not gonna do it!

How about those Bravos and Card's y'all?
