As I type this according to the Doppler Radar it looks like Chicago is getting pounded by rain. And according to the Doppler it appears to be a slow moving cell as well.
This one might be postponed altogether. Stay tuned……
Although I like today’s lineup, I’m a little surprised the little whiz-kid hasn’t stacked it with more RH hitters vs. today’s LHP’er like he’s almost always prone to do. Yesterday the Nootz was scratched from the line-up, Burleson was moved down to the 5 slot, with Velazquez slotted at cleanup as the DH. And Jordan’s not in there at 3B after having a nice game yesterday with 3 hits. I guess Blaze is being chastised for the Das Boot E-5’s the other day. In any case, it’s always hard to get a read on the wild goings on that are present deep in the mind of the resident genius standing on the top step, but if the Redbirds keep on winning, I’ll be more than happy to publicly recant on all the fun I’ve made of him in the past and cast my vote for the whiz-kid as NL MOY.
Just this morning my 2 yr old grandson was at the house and I filled up the blue plastic kiddie pool and sat in it with him. It was under a tree in the shade. Very nice. We watched birds visit the birdbath.
din din is rotisserie chicken and antipasto salad from the supermarket.
A delayed start is now official, whatever that means. I other news, the Cubs DFA’d B. Wilson as the Cardinal bats pounded him out of the league in yesterday’s game. Subsequently, the Cubs replaced him on the 26 man with former Redbird pitcher Jake Woodford who they signed to a massive long term contract of an undisclosed amount of money…Not sure about the last part.
