Boy that grass is looking extra green…quite beautiful if I do say. Those rains we had earlier must have done it a world of good. Those stadium lights must be so powerful that it grows grass at about the same rate as the sun. Any botanical fans out there know anyting about this?
I almost want to bring Fowler in from right to stand by the backstop with a runner at 3rd with 2 outs with Hicks bringing the 101mph heat.
Lyons walks the leadoff batter, Schwarber, and that usually spells t r o u b l e. But Lyons won’t be around to witness it as he’s been sent to the showers.
Balls hit to center sure do not appear to be carrying very well this evening. Even the Gyorko double to center initially looked like it was going to travel to the promised land. To the 8th we go in a tie ballgame. Wouldn’t that be sweet to clip these guys again late in the game.
Lyons has never looked better lately. Couldn’t have come at a better time. 2-2 heading to the bottom of the 7th
Have a few questions about the groundscrew team:
1. Do they call in extra help on nights like this when rain is probable, or is the grounds team in full force for every game?
2. Where do they hang out at when the game is being played.
3. Do they have their own clubhouse area with munchies, games and what not?
4. What kind of coin do they make.
5. Any one know anything about the senior member of the grounds crew?
6. What is the male to female ratio for these workers?
7. Any former Cardinal grounds crew personnel who have gone on to fame or fortune?
Seems to me that there could be a nice article just waiting to be written about these fine people.
And bring out the tarp….wow that tarp is getting rolled out at about 30mph….. Keep Vince Coleman well away from that baby if he’s in the house tonight.
Wacha motors down that line pretty darn well. Anytime your pitcher leads off the inning with a hit, you darn well better score.
Hate walking Schwarber…..hate walking anyone except Joey Votto. Keep an eye on the big lug….he may try to steal.
jj-cf-stl, stlcard25 and Cardinals2016…..all sweet posts! Bader in and Fowler out, Schrock in and Wong to utilityman status and acquiring a top notch 3rd baseman via trade…..and I’ll die a happy man!
Yep…..nicely phrased, GScott!! All the fake motivation in the world aren’t bailing the north riders out this year because those boys are going down…all the way to 3rd place.
I don’t know about “all of the wrong moves”, but I’ll tell you what the right move would be. Coming on the heels of Wong’s walkoff, I don’t expect any sympathy for my frustration in not getting this spark plug up where he belongs…with the big club. Max Schrock. Remember Fernando Vina’s finest 3 years with our Cards? Well, Schrock will even better Fernando’s feats as a Bird. I want Schrock up here as quick as possible!
Indeed a tough decision, Wagee12….. and one that the previous poster (the esteemed RatsBuddy) struggles with on a consistent basis. Though The High Chaparral is one I’ve never seen Rat mention. I think RatsBuddy was more into Bonanza and Audra from The Big Valley. Speaking of Audra, she was amongst my Top 5 tv hotties as a kid.
1. Carol Post from Mr. Ed.
2. Emily Hartley from The Bob Newhart Show
3. Maryann from Gilligan’s Island
4. Audra from The Big Valley
5. Marilyn Munster from The MunstersLove we get this third game on prime time tv. Lester usually has our number…but not tomorrow night….not in this game. Following his career patterns and the circumstances surrounding this start, he’s ripe to get ripped. I see a lot of runs being scored…possibly by both clubs.
With all of his potential, the cubs have to be at least thinking of Schwarber not being their answer as their starting left fielder. And Bryant. Those vicious head beanings have a way of changing careers. Not saying he won’t be a perennial all star, but it could have it’s effect. With some batters they can’t help not digging in at the dish with the same comfortable gusto.
I wish his first name was “Mickey. How sweet would that be….Mickey Mikolas. With a name like that how could you not be a consistent 20 game winner. Anyway, kudos to Mo & Co. for bringing him home to us. Remember, the guy can stroke the long ball himself every now and then too. StlCard25…..he could go 12 frames tonight if needed.
