    The Cards need to win out to reach .500.

    I think this is the game Skenes finally gets a win against us.

    The Cards are currently 13th worst in the MLB standings at 77-81. There are a lot of teams bunched up between 73 and 78 wins..11, to be exact. It’s very unlikely to impossible that the Cards could end up behind the 73 win teams, the Reds and Mets. The Pirates also look generally out of reach at 80-78. So the Cards would be looking at finishing with the 7th-16th worst record, for draft purposes. How they close things out will go a long way there.

    I’d expect that with Leahy looking gassed and Skenes on the mound, the Pirates win this one. But we have done great against him before.

    Let’s hope the Cardinal bats are up to it today. We need to end the season with a show of muscle over the last four.

    The CiFs will sit down shortly to a din-din of turkey breasts with a mushroom and cream sauce and brown rice. Dessert will be a couple of chocolate eclairs from the village bakery.

    Rah Cardinals!

    Walker has just gone off a cliff since the all-star break and especially the last month.

    I’m not sold on him at all.

    If Skenes somehow beats us, then you know we’re slumping terribly. Tied 1-1 in the 6th.
