I'm putting it on the Animal Planet and doing some paper work.  The dogs were barfing all over the den when they had to listen to that fat bastard trying to get in on the golf freebies.
 

Right now, Weaver isn’t one of the top 5 starters on this team.

Again, they won’t do it because it will look like they’re giving up, but it the Cardinals were smart, they’d go to a 6-man rotation of Mikolas, Flaherty, Gant, Poncedeleon, Gomber and Hudson. It would save innings on a bunch of young arms, and it would give them a chance to look at some arms who might be an important part of the 2019 season.

LMAO.
I switched to the Rockies broadcast because he just got too obsequious. The Rockies guys were talking about last night's Mets/Gnats game. The color commentator said "That's a really bad loss."

Fun inning. Scored without a hr.

Looks like they finally found a hitter who can get a run in from third with less than 2 outs.
 

Cardinals broadcast spun it that BFIB know the game....i think it was more of a sarcastic applause.

Oh look, another run scored off of athleticism, base running and situational hitting.

With a stolen base and starting the runners on a 2-2 count, this inning is already more entertaining and 2016 thru July 2018

This is actually somewhat entertaining.

Friend of mine made an interesting Fowler comment over lunch. The Cardinals (and St. Louis) have had some bad press in terms of handling black players. There’s been suggestion that Fowler felt like Matheny didn’t give him a fair shake. Is it possible that Schildt has instructions to play Fowler so that no one can claim that Fowler didn’t get the same opportunity as Carpenter because he’s black.

I really hope that’s not the case, but you never know.

I guess im stupid, so maybe someone can help me out.  Baseball is racist against black players.  Stl is racist against black players.  I assume racism is still defined by the color of a persons skin?  Seems there is several regular players on the cardinals whos skin tone isnt exactly white.

Mags,

Serious question: what is your beef with Molina?  The guy is one of only 2 Hall of Fame caliber players the team has had in the last 20 years. He continues to make himself a better player despite having signed his big money contract(s), and, despite taking an absolutely beating behind home plate, he wants to play every day rather than sit (sometimes to the team's detriment, but that's on the coach who makes out the lineup, not the player who wants to compete).  He's one of the few, if not the only, player on the team who understands to shorten up with two strikes and/or hit a ball to the right side to advance a runner.  He's never struck out more than 75 times in a season. His presence behind home plate makes the pitchers better and his defense, though diminished a bit as he's gotten older, is still better than most.

What exactly bothers you about him?
