Look at all of the sleeping fans! Ushers should be able to usher out any and all fans who are kopping zzz’s. I don’t care if they are 4 years old…give em the boot.
Knock on wood, but our relievers have been fantastic tonight! They are causing me no stress whatsoever…. base runners = stress. No base runners = no stress. Keep it going gang!
Oh oh….feeling the heat now as Heyward and Zobrist rap consecutive singles to right with 2 outs….not cheapies either.
Totally, BlackHills. At this pace, we could be here until breakfast. They used to stop games around 2am. Do they still do that?
The good thing about being at the ballpark at this late hour would be the improved odds of snagging yourself a foul ball. My strategy would be to stay awake, lay off the beer and stay away from as many other fans as possible. The only problem is that these hitters aren’t even hitting many foul balls…the offenses have been that lame….or is it the case of stellar relieving….probably somewhere in between the two.
In case you were wondering, the longest game in the #STLCards-Cubs rivalry was a 20-inning contest on Aug. 28, 1930 at Wrigley. The Cards won 8-7 in 4:10, or less than the current length of tonight's game.

I wonder if there’s a record for how many games in a row that have been won in the bottom of an extra inning game with the same play, whether it was a walk off 2 run HR or not…
Well shout out to Mayers for the victory and 3 innings of work. He’ll be back in Memphis tomorrow afternoon.
Not so fast, Pugs. Off the computer, but still here for the wrap up. What a game, what a series!
BYW, glad you and BHC did the heavy lifting tonight.
I got up at 7:30 this this morning and switched on the computer to see how the Cards did last night, only to discover THEY WERE STILL PLAYING. Got to watch the last two innings while eating my corn flakes – disappointment as Baez slashed his homer, elation as Fowler saved the day. I take back what I said about your 0-5 day Dex.

Always loved Dexter!!!
LMAO!
Thanks for the PBP everyone. I’ve missed Pugs’ stream of conscience thoughts!
What a series.
With all the delays, I was in bed far before this one enfed. Great to get the W on the dramatic homer by the beseiged Fowler. Hoping this helps light a fire under him. Go Cards!
Heck of a sweep! After being bullied by the Cubs the last three seasons maybe this sets the tone for this year.
I feel vindicated by calling for Gyroko to start. Even Jessica Mendoza commented about it on the ESPN broadcast last night. She questioned why Jedd wasn’t in the regular lineup and figure MM would be forced to play him more now.
Also, Wong should play everyday also. He is the best defensive 2B in the NL and his bat is starting to get hot too. Sorry Baez.
Great finish indeed! I was proud as a peacock to be counted as one of the last two posters standing at last night’s thrilling conclusion…… the esteemed BlackHills being the other hardy soul. Due to our grit and stamina, I now find it a near impossibility that either BlackHills or myself will ever be referred to as a wimp on this site ever again. Lost in all of the hoopla surrounding Fowler’s 14th inning heroics, were 3 very special fans in attendance that ESPN kept panning to during extra inning play. All 3 were graced with huge 10 gallon sombrero’s atop their heads with beer in hand. Every time they realized that the cameras were zeroing in on them, they would quickly rise to their feet and give these animated bows while waving their sombrero all about. Of the 3, the one who I found particularily amusing was the pudgy one decked out in a LA Lakers jersey. You just CANNOT teach this stuff….either you have it or you don’t, and this character certainly had that “it” factor. Watching these 3 parade around in extra innings was absolutely priceless. Where else could you get so many visions while taking in a game at Busch? For me it was the great Cards-cubs rivalry at it’s finest, coupled with clips from that old Steve Martin “Three Amigos” movie and Shaq executing a reverse slam dunk all rolled into one….thanks to those fun fans. So for me there was not just one lone hero last evening…..but 4.
