With those kind of odds one would be crazy not to plop down some benjamins on Sal prevailing, KeepComingBack. One problem though…….I never bet against our Birds. Mark my words, unless JJ really gets rolling big time offensively, or Sal tanks, RoY honors are Stewart’s.
If they voted today JJ would come in 2nd to Stewart…….and I don’t think the vote would be all that close.
Need The Big Dobbinski to pitch a dandy tonight. The samplings are small, but thus far he’s been able to keep the bottom dwellers like Cincy and the Angels in check, but struggled with more accomplished clubs. Unfortunately, in all likelihood, the Yanks are going to light him up tonight. Hope I’m wrong, but I have to call this one 8-3 Yanks with our old pal Goldy finding the cheap seats with bat in hand.
What’s for din-din one may ask? How does 2 Oscar Meyer all beef bologna sandwiches grab you? Both on white bread, one with mayo and the other yellow mustard. These two gems will be accompanied by some homemade deviled eggs, sweet dill Gerkins pickles and Ruffles potato chips dipped into sour cream. Then for dessert I’ll head on out to the drive-thru lane at Popeye’s for not 1…..not 2…….not even 3……but 4 of their scrumptious apple cinnamon pies.
I think Graceffo has earned the right to replace Romero as second top dog coming out of the pen. Very refreshing seeing the offensive explosion sending the pinstripe fans home with frowns gracing their mugs. Loved seeing Jimmy Lee Crooks get off the proverbial schneid with a towering tater. There’s little question that we play better on the road than at home, so let’s sweep these bums.
Love this Ragsdale kid that we fleeced from Milwaukee. Our outfield situation just may have gone from rags(Walker not included) to riches with this acquisition.
Just finished din-din at the Del-Bar and in celebration of our victory today, am getting ready to embark on the 15 minute drive due south to the Dells area casin , where I’ll be plopping down 25 clams a spin on Huff & Even More Puff. Wish me luck, as one needs tons of it to come away a winner in that game.
I’m anxiously awaiting some St. Louis trades. I know it’s not likely, but I have a gut feeling that Bernal is getting traded……hope I’m wrong.
We will see if Peoria can win today to keep it that way(all full season teams .500 or better).
And win they did, Albert. 3-2 despite being outhit 11-3. Boutros Boutros Galle on in relief to scoop up the “W” and the bottom 3 in the lineup each registering rbi hits in a 3 run Peoria 5th.
Circumstances are extremely ripe for Libby tossing a real decent game today. But one nice effort is doing nothing to change my opinion of him. He’s been a major disappointment. But on this sunny Sunday afternoon in Toronto in the midst of the dog-days of summer, he’ll pitch a nice ballgame. I’m loading up on the Cardinals with my bookie today, so when I load up, that should be everyone’s cue to break open their piggy banks and plop down some coinage on our Birds…….after all, over the years, when have I ever lead you astray on these sort of things?
Din-din today will be yet another trip on up to the beautiful Wisconsin Dells to dine at the Del-Bar.
Have a wedding to attend shortly and hate missing Quinny’s maiden ML start. I came THIS close to sending my daughter in my place, but this one promises to have tons of beautiful fair maidens prancing about, so I’m opting to attend. Not sure what my din-din there will consist of, but I’m sure it’ll be a smorgasbord of goodies like Rat din-dins on at his two Amash eateries.
I’m calling this one 5-3 Cards with Matthews spinning 5 2/3 innings of 5 hit baseball and Walker getting off the proverbial post HRD (that’s “Home Run Derby” to the layman) schneid by launching a majestic 2 run dinger high up into the center field rafters.
Gassy saddled with his first ML loss. Most likely it probably won’t be his last. On to Canada to take on the Jays.
Don’t you wish Crooks wasn’t a catcher, so we could say “Crooks really robbed him” every now and then?
Come on gents, just score 3 in the 10th like last night and we once again make a winner out of Gassy. 3-0 sure would look dandy on Gassy’s ML resume.
Shoot! It’s not Thornton, but Webb pitching the 10th. Our odds of victory just went from 93% had it been Thornton, to 32% with Webb.
If they trot Thornton out there again in the 10th then we have a chance…….even if we’re down 3 or 4. As it sits now, the cubbies have plated 2 here in the 10th on a couple doubles down the line in right…..2 outs with one out. Hold them here and we’re only one swing away from tying it up.
It should not be lost on us that when Gassy makes an appearance, good things happen. Even if he allows 2 run homers, the baseball Gods will still bestow victories upon us…….watch what happens here.
The Ferminator has quite the eye black display on his face……he’s looking more like Arnold every day…….he just needs to start pumping iron a few hours a day.
If we end up dealing O’Brien, we better get something special in return. I think he’s probably staying put.
Look at that advertisement for Fredbird Plush……I could picture it sitting right in between Rat and Whitey HerDog on the couch taking in the ballgames. If Rat plays his cards right then maybe we should pitch in and get him one for Christmas.
I guess we have no choice but to trot Stanek out here to pitch the 8th…..poor Oli…..and poor us. Well maybe I’m being too hard on him and he’ll pitch well here……let’s hope.
Was hoping they would have brought that BB machine Thornton into this game. Only down a run here in the bottom of the 7th where The Ferminator opens the inning with a lazy fly ball to Happ in left……now JJ gets his teeth into one to right……and it’s long long gone…..tie ballgame.
