1:15 p.m.
RHP Kyle Leahy (8-4, 3.45) vs. RHP Zack Wheeler (10-3, 2.69)
Cards.TV // KMOX // WIJRThis could be a low-scoring game.
OK, I just downed a din-din of pork tenderloin with gravy, mashed potatoes and snap beans. A slice of lemon cake finished it off. So now let us whip up on some Phillies. Rah Cardinals!
Leahy and Pallante both are surprises, at least to me.
I am concerned that Crooks can’t hit much and Winn isn’t hitting much. Jordan also seems to be petering out. But other guys are heating back up and stepping up.
Redbirds win this one 7-1.
On to Wrigley now.
Let’s hope we don’t get swept because the Cubs are on a roll right now.
Correct Rat. The Cubs are definitely on a roll.
The Brewers are not. As we speak their lead over the Cubs is down to 4 games. No disrespect to May and Romero but the Brewers did not do enough at the deadline. They have lost momentum and are going to be in a dogfight to win the NLC.
Anyway, hopefully we can steal a game or two in Wrigley this weekend. Our only chance is that our top 4 guys in the lineup do major damage because the 5-9 guys in the lineup are very weak.
The Redbirds are dead even at 5-5 against the Cubbies this season and took 2 of 3 from them during their most recent visit to Wrigley and that was before we replaced Nootbar with the hot hitting Prieto.,,Them Cubbies don’t frighten me.
I dont see why we cant win if our pitching is like series. Though to be honest,i thought philly would be better. I dont think they have a shot. Prob better for them to sit the playoffs out.
Laehy and Pallante are pitching like top of roitation staffers. Good series. Good to se even Gas-
fire-Lum get through a scoreless inning.Hate missing all of these games and game threads, as I’ve spent nearly the entire summer on Lake Michigan. Also miss my catfish fiddlers on Fridays. However, I’ve indulged in a few fish boils(whitefish) up in Door County. Speaking of catfish fiddlers, I’ve ate them from the mighty Mississippi River, Ohio River, Rock River and from fish farms, but hands down the best fiddlers are from the Wisconsin River…….they nearly melt in your mouth. For those of you whom are reluctant to try some catfish fiddlers, thinking that they are lowdown, scum sucking, bottom dwellers, you are absolutely correct……but properly prepared, there’s nothing quite like them……just ask Rat or Bling.
After some miserable outings, it’s refreshing to see Gassy get back on track with two nice performances. Gassy brings a lot to the table and should be a mainstay in our pen for many years to come. Anyway, this is the last summer that I’ll be jetting around the great State of Wisconsin instead of watching Cardinals baseball……..it’s time to settle down.
