The 2nd Wainwright inning is out of the way , so he should be fine now .

I watched 14 of those 17 last night . Couldn't finish it ....

Don't blame you.

I'll take "Cards suck " for 500 Alex .

I just got home from work. I don't want to hear about the game. I don't want to read about the game. I don't want to watch any video clips from the game. I want to pretend a grown man who lets people call him "Scooter" isn't on a list with Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays and Mike Schmidt.I want to wake up tomorrow at 7 p.m. and pretend none of it ever happened.

Not watching the Cardinals because Madison wanted to watch the college softball world series game (for those who don't know--and why would you--Game 1 went 17 innings last night) and apparently ESPN found a female descendent of Mike Shannon to call the game.  Only the bottom of the 2nd and we've already had

(In reference to a batter who hasn't struck out in over 80 at bats)- "It can actually be a disadvantage to be such a good contact hitter because sometimes it's better to let strike 3 go by rather than hit a weak ground ball."

and 

"the Oklahoma coach likes to play small ball, so it isn't unusual for her to call for a bunt when the leadoff hitter gets on even if it's after 1 out."

Is this Beth Mowins? She's the worst. The worst. The W-O-R-S-T. Worse than Brennadouche. She's covered the WCWS when ASU played in it, and I literally had to turn the sound off. Now she's doing pxp for the Raiders' pre-season games.

"If you would change "lets" to "wants," I think you have hit on something on which we could all agree."

Good point.

Last night's game got me thinking about listening to Stan Musial hit 5 home runs in a double header one Sunday afternoon on May 2, 1954.  On thing I remember clearly is Harry Caray's call the last time Musial came to bat that day.  He hit, according to Harry, a long drive that just missed  being #6 by hooking foul into the RF corner.  I found myself wondering last night if it would have given Musial 4 home runs in the 2d game.  The answer, I learned, is "no."  The first game was Musial's 3 home run game.  But I did find this interesting article in looking for an answer:
