Nice memories and insights, Bling. Did you see Dick Allen play with the Sox? I went to an Angels game in Anaheim in late ‘74 where they were playing the White Sox. I wanted to see Allen, and he never got the ball out of the infield that night.
On a different note, I am old school but I still don’t get Mikolas with that big chain around his neck. That is fine for the night club, or whatever else you want to do when not pitching. But pitching is not about showing off your jewelry. It’s about being unencumbered for anything that might come your way. I would be a lousy manager as I would probably not prohibit that sort of thing, but would tell my guys that for their own safety and for the team it’s best to keep the shiny stuff in the clubhouse.
Bikemike, the only time I specifically remember seeing Allen was a double header at Busch toward the end of his career. I remember my dad being excited to see him come to town but he was done by then and didn’t do much. He must have been in the NL obviously.
Well, now my brother says when we would go up there as kids, dad always got us there way early in the day to see Allen take BP. I can’t decide if I remember that or just recreating it in my head.
Yeah things gave changed Bling. Watched the last half of the game on gameday. Walker dingers again! Mikolas was very good today. Ended with the Gallegos and Hicks combo. If we get Helsley back we’re not to far away from a good pen. Starting rotation still a black hole. Cabbys can be pretty good sometimes. If some pen guys step up things could be somewhat better. Everybody on offense today contributed offensively in some way. Hits both teams almost the same. Pitching very similar. We were competitive with ths SOX. Many teams we are outclassed but thats sports. Still fun to watch. Its a winner! Go Cardinals!
Taking a gander at the out-of-town scoreboard today?
The Yankees down the Cubs 6-3 at Yankee Stadium.
Detroit throws a combined no-hitter over the Blue Jays. 2-0 Tigers the final at Tiger Stadium.
The Reds and Brewers are tied 5-5 in the 5th at County Stadium.
Pirates lead the D’Backs 1-0 in the 7th at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix.
Well they may yet get that 38th win before the All Star Break. That was the mark I figured so let’s see how tomorrow goes.
Scoreboard update:
The Reds down the Brewers 8-5. Elmer Cruz stole 2nd, 3rd, and home when the Brewers didn’t pay any attention to him.
Arizona wins over Pittsburgh 3-2 in ten innings.
Angels and Dodgers later tonight.
Those D-Backs are good. Corbin Carroll might be the best kept secret in baseball. All you hear about is Elly de la Cruz right now, but Carroll is having a terrific year and is easily the ROY in the NL right now.
