Nine games left.
Have to go 6-3 to finish .500 on the year.
Have to go 7-2 to end up with a winning record.
With three games left at Milwaukee unlikely either of the above will happen.
And our closer ROB gives up a 2-run dong in the top of the 10th.
6-4 Giants heading to the last of the 10th now.
Woe and despair.
Pugs favorite catcher just singled into rightcenter with two outs in the 9th to tie the game 4-4.
A chance to win it now!
Perhaps all is not lost.
The Braves came from behind and beat the Cubs tonight. 6-3 your final at Wrigley.
Phillies still trail the Cubs by .5 games.
But the Cubs hold the tiebreaker.
This ain’t good.
The Phillies have already lost 6-3 at Washington.
And the Cubs lead the Braves 3-2 in the last of the 6th.
Starting to look like the Cubs might get home field advantage in that short series.
Pugs?
There is now a small band of showers that has popped up just west of St. Louis. Not sure if it will impact Busch Stadium or not.
Again, when it’s this hot and humid they can occur at any time.
I am going to go jogging now.
Pugs?
It looks all clear for the big clash tonight at Busch. According to the Doppler Radar there is nothing currently in the area and nothing appears to be heading towards the greater downtown metropolitan St. Louis area.However, as we saw a few days ago, when it’s this hot and humid those popup thunderstorms can hit at anytime. It’s about 94 here in SW Indiana and it might actually be too hot for me to get out and jog a little later tonight before the Doyers and Reds game from Crosley Field.

I am hoping the Phillies edge out the Cubs for the #4 wild card seed. That way the Phillies would host the Cubs instead of having to play at Wrigley. But the Cubs have an advantage – the Brewers are at Philadelphia next week for a three game series. That will be a tough one.
Rafael Devers is now out for the season for the Giants.
Any reason why we can’t sweep this series like they did to us last week?
Cards lead 4-1 in the 5th.
Reds getting pounded for a 3rd straight game. 13-5 Brewers in the 5th.
Braves pounding the Phils. 9-1 in the 6th. This will put the Cubs a game up in the wild card race against the Phils.
The current weather conditions in the greater St. Louis area all appear to be clear. There is, however, a band of storms just north of the Kansas City area that could possibly impact the St. Louis area later today.
Just have to stay tuned……
Those showers that delayed the game last night hit us here in SW Indiana about 2:30 this morning. They woke up both me and Whitey Herdog. And now I can’t get back to sleep so here I am, on the computer.
Whitey Herdog is snoozing away, however.
2-1 Redbirds in the 2nd.
And Pugs?
Hate to tell you but Jasper downed Evansville Bosse 49-6 tonight.The game is in a delay. Not sure how because my Doppler Radar shows absolutely nothing in the St. Louis area.
Reds down 3-0 early at County Stadium in Milwaukee.
Phillies and Braves have started down at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta.
Taking a gander at the meteorological conditions for tonights big clash. All clear in the greater metropolitan St. Louis area. The same cannot be said, however, for the greater metropolitan Atlanta area. Rain in the area, the game is delayed, and it might be awhile.
This is a big one down at Fulton County Stadium tonight as the Cubs downed the Pirates 12-2 at Wrigley today. If the Phillies lose they are in a tie with the Cubs in the wild card race.
Time is winding down for CCFF in 2026. Only three more to go.
For din-din this Friday it will be Catfish Fiddlers out at the Amish restaurant on the lake. Along with some mashed potatoes/gravy, noodles, green beans, dressing, sweet iced tea, and a piece of Cherry Pie and some vanilla soft serve ice cream. Then afterwards a 7×50 Palma Real Presidente cigar out on the patio out front.
I’d like to see Colson Montgomery do well since he grew up about 30 minutes right down the road from me and I remember seeing him play high school basketball and baseball. He also played football too. I just hope he waits a few days to get hot again.

On a good note……
The Cubs are losing to the Brewers again. It’s 7-1 Brewers in the 5th at Miller Park in Milwaukee.
No word on whether or not Front Row Amy is in attendance.
Walker hits into a DP in the 9th.
Herrera grounds out.
7-6 Giants your unhappy final.
Back to three games below .500.
Pugs?
I got down to the medical clinic today (which is right next to me) and the place was closed. Not sure why. But I guess I will have to stop there and reschedule. No phone call, no text, no email, nothing. Just a sign on the door saying we are closed today.
Phooey.
And I got myself all spiffed up too.
