Also BS South and Southwest ExtraO’Brien’s ERA is 11.25. Being out all year with a forearm flexor strain probably means he has elbow trouble. Maybe just shut him down. Maybe accept that the Mariners sold us a lemon.

CF M. Siani LSept. 15: Beginning of the last desperate struggle to finish the season as a “winning” team at least one game over .500 so we can call ourselves a “success” and march off into football with a smile. Or not. We love ’em anyway.
To celebrate the moment I shall be consuming a Sunday din-din with the last of the cantaloupe melon, followed by duck breasts roasted with baby potatoes and carrots and finishing with a thick slice of banana cake, all washed down with a couple glasses of Saint Emilion.
Rah Cardinals!
I can’t detect a clear favorite to win the WS this season, but I’m guessing the handicappers are probably leaning towards either the Yankees or Phillies. I’ll be pulling for the Dodgers in the NL, but obviously the tournament type format leaves the NL Pennant up for grabs. In the AL, I’m going to guess that the Astros could be a team that could be dangerous and may advance a lot further than most would have predicted.
Usually Siani, the guy everyone knows can’t hit, is out hitting half our lineup. But with Goldy sitting it out, Siani is only out hitting 3 of the other 8. Walker, Baker and Saggese. Noot has recently pulled a few points ahead of Siani.
Goldschmidt pinch-hits in the 8th and on the first pitch hit into a 6-4-3 DP. Killed any rally.
He needs to go. Please let him Mo and Company.
The Cardinals still have 13 remaining games to play, so there’s a decent chance for them to get reasonably close to the level of futility they displayed in ’23. I wouldn’t underestimate the whiz-kids’ team to finish up with a resounding thud…”I’ll tell you that!”
Well the Denver Broncos are looking a bit like the football version of our Cardinals early on. Basically kind of boring, a rookie at quarterback, not much offense. Wait, they just ran a flea flicker and completed a long one!
Right now the Cardinals are the worst team in the NL Central in run differential, and their record is starting to reflect that. Only three teams in the NL are worse, making us 12th out of the 15 teams. A lot of work to do.
For post season, historically I root for teams with former Cardinals. The Dodgers have two such members, Edman and Flaherty, but I am going to go for the Padres and manager Mike Shildt. In the AL, I will put my support behind Cleveland, but am okay with Kansas City and Michael Wacha as well. I also like Baltimore.
