I don't consider myself old, but I get it... :hmm:

I'd be shocked if this game gets played. St. Louis has been and still is getting dumped on.

I take that to mean rain and not human excrement

[Rex Buckingham]

Still raining here in St Louis, hope they get the game in.

Well, I heard it as a kid from time to time because of my older brothers. Plus I remember all manner of useless minutiae like that.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Dang. That is a depressing song.

 

And yet, the more I think about it, the perfect theme song for this season.

Check out the Cards dugout

I knew it too and I'm only 30.

 

Admittedly I grew up in a household where MASH reruns were popular.

Best guess is 7;15 start time per Mozeilik

"Painless" was the nickname of the suicidal dentist in the 1970 movie. I believe his character was dropped from the TV show after 1 episode.

Also, Ring Lardner Jr. wrote the screen play. He was blacklisted in the 1950s during the "Red" purge in Hollywood. He's the son of Ring Lardner a pretty famous sports writer and essayist from the 20s. He covered a lot of Cub games. Ring was from my home town, Niles Michigan.

"Bringing Carlos Marmol in to close the game tonight would be the dumbest move since my firing by George W. Bush"

You're an odd duck.

Yadier Molina is determined to piss me off every time I see him, I think

Yep. I think that's game there.

[Schwarber Fan]

Molina's a POS but at least he does it against every team. He's not like Xavier Paul or something.

[Elwood]

Why are those little shitheads screaming all the time?

[Schwarber Fan]

Bunting with our best hitter, lol.

Who?

 

Wood I'm guessing?
