While we're ranting, hey Theo go get someone who can hit a [expletive] baseball. This offense is absolute [expletive].

 

Schwarber

[SouthSideRyan]

Great, now Lester is having a seizure.

[Gilby]

Lester's mouth and torso/arms were doing very different things.

this offense is right in the middle of the pack in the NL and is half comprised of like 22-25 year olds

[NotSoSober]

reverse that, i hope bryant attacks lester

[kujay]

Has alien ant farm ever done anything but that one MJ cover?

[Guest]

lester looked like a marionette there

[treebird]

rain knocked out my satellite, please tell me you guys are joking about lester injuring himself

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Seriously. Our pitching is fine. We need some [expletive] offense.

 

We can't get any offense because like every position is manned by a key young player who has to get playing time, except LF which we are saving for Schwarber in October.

[Soul]

I think I might have to kill one of Sarah Mclachlan's puppies

Neither thing is actually as reassuring as you think it is right now.

[MarkR]

At what point do we stop pretending Castro will ever be any good again? Fowler and Montero have really been awful for seemingly awhile now too.

 

WTF happened?

They're 24th in runs and 27th in BA

[Guest]

This [expletive] Lester [expletive] is pissing me the [expletive] off.

 

The guy who just took a no hitter into the 7th?

[Guest]

i've got some more bad news guys, the pirates just drew a walk

[NotSoSober]

rain knocked out my satellite, please tell me you guys are joking about lester injuring himself

he acted like he didn't just give up 2 runs and won the WS after getting hte 3rd out, but no, he didn't injure himself

[rawaction]

The all star skills competition should just be a bunch of fat people seeing how fat you can be and still steal a bag off lester[/quote

 

Hahahaha

By which metrics could they be considered middle of the pack, because I would be thrilled for a simply mediocre offense?

[BigSlick]

movies was an ok song

[Andy]

Maybe the Cardinals are better at baseball than the Cubs. Maybe.

 

Maybe they are, but nothing in most of these games would suggest that any more than they suggest that STL is lodged with the most absurd run of BABIP and LOB% luck in the [expletive] history of mankind.

[MarkR]

God, and the announcers just sucking off the Cardinals all night is just the icing on the cake.

[Castros trade value]

Like many of said, the offense is horrible and it needs to be fixed or the players need to figure it out. Despite that, the Cubs have a 5 game lead in the loss column for the 2nd wild card.

i feel like congress passed a law mandating that the cardinals can never lose again but i can't find any record of it
