Rain in the forecast both today and tomorrow. Early glance today seems like the heaviest rain might be after the game ends, although close enough that a delay could put that in danger. Both teams are off/traveling Thursday, Cubs to Denver and Cards to Cincinnati.

Should be a beautiful evening for those going tonight.

[ConstableRabbit]

Anyone want my seats in 425? I'm not expecting to get face ($50 each) so I'd much rather someone from here go than a Cards fan on StubHub. PM me if you're interested. Edited April 7, 2015 by ConstableRabbit

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales

Jake Arrieta's 0.92 ERA in five career starts vs. STL is lowest among any pitcher with at least 5 starts vs. Redbirds.

I thought Dusty spilled that everywhere.

[sneakypower]

Jake Arrieta had a 4.75 career FIP, and at age 28 season: 2.26

 

bosio dust maybe

I was going to rant about Lynn coming out of nowhere to be an effective pitcher and then decided this wouldn't be the right time to do so.

nachos failed. They are banished.

I was more annoyed that they just lifted him out of the pen and jacked up his innings count with no repercussion, but I guess the jump wasn't that huge (109 to 176).

[treebird]

do not do shitty saved by the bell garbage.

 

if anything, the nachos ordeal should teach us that it's time to move upward and onward.
