7:10 p.m. RHP John Gant (5-5, 3.76) vs. RHP German Márquez (11-9, 4.42) FOX Sports Midwest/MLB Network/KMOX
August 25, 2018 at 11:04 am #66798Crazy game last night. We “cut the cord” on cable in March 2017 after I got laid off from my long-time corporate job, and MLB blacks out local games so no television viewing for me. I listened to the KMOX broadcast, listening to a good chunk of the game while taking a night-time bike ride.
That Rockies rally had me so nervous I just kept riding, much longer than I had planned. Fortunately Martinez stabilized things out of the ‘pen, and Hicks bent, but did not break.
Watched the condensed version this morning. Those are some crazy uniforms they had last night. Usually the Cardinals do not go in for that sort of thing, but I am sure this is an MLB deal.
Will be listening again this evening, then out to the park tomorrow for some old-fashioned day baseball.
August 25, 2018 at 11:46 am #66800August 25, 2018 at 12:56 pm #66802I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been at the edge of my seat in anticipation of hearing of RatsBuddy’s 9-ball tournament. Rat has been strangely silent over the past 24 hours which can mean only 2 things…..either he is shooting out of his mind and thus finds himself going very very deep in the tournament or he got knocked out lickity split and marched right back to his hotel room to watch Perry Mason reruns until the crack of dawn and is still kopping zzz’s as we speak. I opt for the later.
Hey Bike Mike….that moonlight bike ride while listening to KMOX sounds mysteriously enchanting in an odd sort of way. I just may try that tonight which should excite many here as that means no game thread posting for yours truly tonight.
August 25, 2018 at 3:40 pm #66813We're going for our 9th consecutive series win!

August 25, 2018 at 4:39 pm #66818Yasiel Pugs,
I went two and out in the 9B tournament. Lost 7-3 and then 5-1. That was the first tournament I had ever played in. I was nervous, couldn’t think straight, a lot of people watching, missed shots I normally make in my sleep, missed the 9B once, scratched off the 8B once, couldn’t get used to the 7-footer as I normally play on a 9-footer. All in all, a good learning experience.Looking forward to the game tonight. Carpenter and DeJong need to get it going. Cubs win again over the Reds today.

August 25, 2018 at 6:47 pm #66826Blackmon almost looks like a Blackman with that half gallon of eye black he’s sporting under his eyes….and I thought my wifey loads up on the makeup sometimes…..I think Charlie wears more makeup than Mrs. Blackmon.
Pugs, meant to tell you that comment was hilarious. They say there’s always some truth in comedy. We’ll see if Blackmon loads up again tonight. Ha!
August 25, 2018 at 7:12 pm #668274 LHB lineup for our boys.
August 25, 2018 at 7:26 pm #66828I thought Matheny was fired? Yet here we are with Fat Adams rolling around in the dirt at 1B and hitting clean-up!!
August 25, 2018 at 7:57 pm #66832Textbook inside-out by bozo
August 25, 2018 at 8:25 pm #66835Total hose job by the 1B ump on what should have been strike 3 against Arenado on an attempted check swing. Gant had to throw 9 extra pitches but escaped the 4th without yielding a run. I thought this ump crew also put the screws to the Cards on at least a couple check swing calls last night.
August 25, 2018 at 8:26 pm #66836I cringe every time Greg Garcia plays. The problem with having him as a bench guy is every now and then you need the bench guys to actually play.
August 25, 2018 at 8:53 pm #66837Cards dodge another bullet in the 6th. Bader’s misplay in CF led to runner on 1st and 3rd when the inning should’ve been over. Scoreless game going to the 7th, but this game has a feel of being impossible for the Cards to win to me. Seems like a lot is not going their way.
Having said that, Adams leads off with a walk.
August 25, 2018 at 9:03 pm #66838NJ315ParticipantHolliday homers 1-0
August 25, 2018 at 9:04 pm #66839Gant had the results tonight. 6 and 2/3 shutout innings and just two hits……until Holliday PH and blasted it to the cheap seats. Cards now trail 1-0. Gant get the final out to complete the 7th.
August 25, 2018 at 9:33 pm #668402-1 Colorado on back to back hits.
August 25, 2018 at 9:34 pm #66841Cards tied the game with Bader abut Yadi stinks and can’t get runner home from 3rd with one out and then Hudson stinks and in three pitches gives up the lead and 3 later gives Rockies a 3-1 lead kids not good at all
August 25, 2018 at 9:35 pm #668423-1 Rockies on a double by Aranado.
August 25, 2018 at 9:37 pm #66843On a 0-2 pitch just bad pitch actually lots of bad pitches for Hudson tonight.
August 25, 2018 at 9:38 pm #66844And Cecil still stinks
August 25, 2018 at 9:48 pm #66846I see @therealBrettCecil showed back up tonight. Can we DFA him yet?
August 25, 2018 at 9:53 pm #66848I guess Gyorko, Yadi and Martinez having such poor ABs with a runner on 3B in the 8th doesn’t seem like such a big deal now. 9th inning has turned comical. Mayers coming out due to injury. I’d let Greg Garcia pitch.
August 25, 2018 at 9:58 pm #66849Well, that escalated quickly.
August 25, 2018 at 10:09 pm #66851Too bad Martinez was not available to pitch. I know it appears to be hindsight, but he would have been my choice to open the eighth inning in a tie game over Hudson.
August 25, 2018 at 10:24 pm #66855Matt Adams picking up where he left off in a Cardinal uniform, oh-fer 3 with some bad looking whiffs on 3 strikeouts. Add to that, he also whiffed on a grounder in his first chance to field a ball since his return.
