    Rockies haven’t been to the playoffs since 2018, Cardinals haven’t been since 2022 but last won a playoff game in 2020 and a series in 2019.

    The Cardinals have a solid plan in place – whether it works or not remains to be seen.

    I don’t follow the Rockies at all but they seem to be a really poorly run and managed organization.

    The Rockies have been poorly run for a decade, mimicking the Angels approach of assuming they are a contender and never doing a rebuild, but I think they are now trending in the right direction.

    They finally went outside the organization to find someone to run the front office. Paul DePodesta used to work in the Dodgers front office and is now focused on building from the ground up. I suspect they will continue to get better but unfortunately for them they are in a very tough division. They do seem to have very good fan support though. Despite their w-l record they have always drawn well over the years.

    Taking a gander at the meteorological conditions for the St. Louis area today.

    All appears clear throughout the midwest. There is a band of storms/rain about to hit the northwest side of Missouri in the next hour or so. Hard to tell if it might find it’s way down to the St. Louis area later today.

    Din-din today is a Hungry Man’s Fried Chicken TV dinner. Along with a piece of Apple Pie and a bowl of Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream.

    We will have a righty heavy lineup today. I wonder if we will see if the new guy can play CF.
