It's the Cardinals' magic pixie dust.

Where the hell was that?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Looper singled to center field , Molina to second

[Roast]

Figures, he goes on to get a single.

[Prior4CyYoung]

that pitch to Looper should have been strike 3.

[C.C.]

All these umps suck! None of them are consistent at all this year.

[inari]

We really need to win this game, because I'm more than confident we're losing the second one.

PC count 82. Hopefully Lilly can get to the 6th. He's done alright so far without his hook today.

Agreed.

[Prior4CyYoung]

ya 5 or 6 innings of 2 run ball wouldn't be terrible especially without his best stuff.
