This pitching matchup is an insult to the game IMO.
Agreed.
Hopefully we will field the best lineup we can.
The spirit of Willie Mays will be all over this game, so the Giants will win it. Then again, there is that great scene in the movie “Brian’s Song” where after hearing about Brian Piccolo’s diagnosis the Chicago Bears dedicated their next game to him, and lost.
In the movie Piccolo is teasing Gale Sayers about the loss saying (paraphrasing) “What’s with you guys – Notre Dame didn’t say ‘Let’s blow one for the Gipper’ “ 😁
Wow Pads. You should go by Rickwood and take in the atmosphere. It sounds like it will be a great event.
You had to win a lottery to get tickets. Even if you wanted to go, you would have a hard time finding an available ticket.
That’s more likely than you’d think. My two friends and I were once handed three tickets to a concert by a policeman from a stack that he’d confiscated from a scalper…Rolling Stones, Exile On Main Street tour in 1972.
Milwaukee wins late Wednesday night over the Angels. 2-0 Brewers the final. Cards now 7.5 games out of 1st place.
Wow 1TD – that is awesome on those Rolling Stones tickets! The Stones are playing out here tonight. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are going.
They played Folsom Field in Boulder in ‘78 I believe. My ex and I wandered up and listened sitting outside the stadium. Ironically my now brother-in-law was at that event. Little did we know that all these years later I would be married to his sister. 🤪
“ Needs a single ticket, put finger in the air. It wI’ll happen!”
For clarity, I don’t mean Pads should try to get a ticket. I figure that near impossible. But just go down to the stadium area and hang out and take in the atmosphere – that is an experience in itself.
When the Rockies hosted the All- Star game a couple years ago I was working downtown. At lunch time on Monday and game day walked down to the Coors Field area and just hung out for a bit, as there was all kinds of activity. They have an open air area with a giant TV screen and were showing BP.
It’s cool just to experience the sites and sounds surrounding a special event.
Sweet Stones stories, TD & BicycleMike! Back in the day, I was a concert going fiend. My top 3 concerts of all time were: 1. Genesis. 2. Led Zeppelin. 3. Madonna with Beastie Boys as the warm-up band.
Interesting starting time (6:24pm) for tonight’s game. You just have to love our chances for victory in this game. If you’re a betting person, you might want to go very heavy on St. Louis tonight. I’m calling it 7-4 Cards with Winn taking Winn deep. And speaking of “Winn”, I have already checked with Skippy and all of the fine folks over at the esteemed Elias Sports Bureau, and tonight will mark the first time in ML history where a pitcher with the last name “Winn” will be facing a batter with the last name “Winn” in a regular season game. So I don’t know about you guys, but I’m plunking down some coinage on our Cards to “winn” this ballgame.
Adam Kloffenstein will join the active roster today for the #STLCards. The Cardinals are also permitted an additional position player to serve as the 27th man tonight. That will be Victor Scott II.

Any word on who is going down for Kloffenstein if Scott is the 27th man? Or is Gibson going to the IL?
Doubt I can go with a whole family of non-baseball fans. Haha
Glad to see Kloffenstein up. He’s been excellent here lately. I wish they’d ride those hot streaks from the AAA guys better. Kloffenstein is a great start.
The Kloffster could toss his first ML pitch tonight. SF’s Keaton Winn threw his first ML pitch vs our Cardinals last year…..matter of fact, the day prior to Keaton’s first ML appearance marked the first time in his life that he stepped into a ML ballpark. He hails from Ollie, Iowa, which is not exactly a place where one worries about rush hour traffic with it’s population of 201.

Roycroft down for Kloff. No one needed to go down for Scott. He is the extra player for one game only.
As many already know, Kloff was already on the 40-man, making this move easier.
Just a guess, but I could see Kloff going back to Memphis tomorrow for Gallegos.
“That’s a dozen cousin.” Been awhile since I have heard that one…ha
I think Jay Randolph used to say that too.

Crawford as a fail safe turns out to be versatile. He’s never been anywhere near a slouch with the mitt. I don’t think you suffer too much at all defensively with him situated at 3B for Arenado. And with the type of lackluster season Nolan’s having with the bat, Crawford may not be all that much inferior in the batter’s box.
I live an hour from Ollie, Iowa. It’s where the Hoot Owls ____ the Chicken Hawks. Located in the magnificent Skunk River Valley where they still hunt coons on horseback.
