    gscottar does that pizza have crust made out of something besides grain flour?

    Yes it is grain free and gluten free but is still very delicious. I was skeptical at first but after trying it I have had the same pizza every Friday night for over 5 years.

    I minimize grain in my diet and my wife is always on the lookout for things I can eat. Most grain substitute stuff now days is for keto dieters and sucks. I will ask her to keep a lookout so I can try it.

    My wife has to eat gluten free which is why we tried this product in the first place.

    I think you will like it. If you can’t find it locally you can always order it online.

    Not sure what is on the menu here at the Bike Mike homestead. Sometimes we hit a brew pub Friday night, which can turn into the catfish as a creole truck frequents one of our favorite local beer joints.

    But we are both abstaining from alcohol, not even a relatively innocent single beer, due to some minor ailments we have had. So no food truck either.

    Guessing we will have Italian fare as we have some leftover spaghetti in the fridge, and some Alfredo pasta as well. Put either of those together with a big tossed salad and garlic bread and we are rocking.

    Checked out the AppleTV, and like anyone else I can get the 7 day free trial, then it is $10 per month after that.

    No-go for me – am not even going to do the free trial. I can see what, 145-150 games a year as it is. No big deal to miss a few here and there. Will see what Rooney and Horton have to say.

    When you go to the MLB.tv home page, this is the sales pitch you see:

    Stream EVERY out-of-market game LIVE or on demand.

    The all caps emphasis for EVERY and LIVE is theirs, not mine. I guess they are legally cleared to cheat us a few games (e.g. Apple) due to the cleverly crafted “or on demand” part. The lower case for de-emphasis on that part is also theirs, not mine.

    AppleTV is the one sure watch for me. I get it through TMobile for free.

    Contreras out by a lot on a hit into the gap that Suzuki nicely cut off.

    Suzuki robs Donovan on a decent play over his head

    Crow-Armstrong with a beautiful bunt hit then Amaya with a nice bunt to make it 2nd and third with 1 out.

    Hoerner with a slow bouncer to SS to give the Cubs the lead. Fortunately, Winn’s gun was able to get him at 1B.

    Bling, if you want to try Against the Grain pizza, it looks like Schnuck’s is the best bet in STL. There are a few Dierberg’s and Whole Foods that have them, but there are many Schnuck’s locations that do. The widest variety (7) is at Dierberg’s, but they only list two locations as having them.

    Gray missing a little too much on lots of pitches to several hitters and Cubs aren’t fooled. 2-0 after a double by Haap into the RC gap and a solid single by Swanson.

    The Cardinals just have too many non-professional at bats lately. Nootbaar looks great. Contreras, Donovan, and Arenado look pretty good. Burleson is ok. The others don’t look good. That includes Winn lately. Gorman and Goldschmidt just seem near hopeless.

    It’s amazing to me that the rest of the league hits Hendricks like a drum but he still owns us! I know we don’t have great hitting but we make him look like Greg Maddux every time he faces us!

    Not sure how Burleson gets caught stealing there. The throw made the fielder reach high into the air and he tags Burleson in the legs as he’s sliding by. Also, Goldschmidt swung and missed on a pitch right down the middle.

    The Cardinals really need to bench Goldschmidt when Edman returns. Or do it now. We aren’t in a small sample size anymore. He just is striking out a ton this year.

    With Hendricks it seems like you have to wait back and recognize the pitch and then have quick hands. That’s not hard to do if you have quick hands. Unfortunately, that’s not Goldschmidt.

    Hendricks has actually been good. He’s hitting the corners and edges and has a good looking curveball going.

    Gorman just swings and misses everything. Strike, ball, giant beach ball, it doesn’t matter. He is going to swing and miss.

    I say that and he manages a 2-strike weak grounder to 2nd.

    Another infield single by a half step as Suzuki grounds one off Gray that Goldy fields but Gray gets over just a touch late.

    Goldy is just washed up. Happens. But the contract will keep him in the lineup. No point worrying about it. Gorman just can’t hit. We already know that. One day he will tie into another mistake and send it to the moon so the believers can jump up and down.

    I’m not complaining about Goldy anymore. There’s no point. They won’t even move him down. If they wouldn’t bench Carpenter in the middle of his suckness that last year, they aren’t benching Goldy. He and Arenado both are worthless in any critical game situations. Go Cardinals.

    Siani gets 2 non-strikes in a row called strikes to lead off the bottom 6th.
