7/06: Cardinals (Lackey) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:05 ESPN/WGN

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

 

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

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

god soler hits the ball so hard every time

[Guest]

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

 

the cardinals are amazing, who wouldn't want to suck them?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rally time and we all look like assholes for doubting.

[ScrubMD]

you know that scene in fast and the furious where you're like wow jason statham actually killed the asian guy in the second movie woah, shyamalan??!?!?!

 

I picture tony laRussa actually causing these car accidents as some sort of blood letting to the red god so the cardinals can be good forever and honestly about 20 of our 25 man roster could be killed w/o me breaking a sweat

 

Finally someone besides me who's willing to get real.

[Sammy Sofa]

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Say what?

[Guest]

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He could have hit that twice and hard and it would have been caught in the same spot.

[NotSoSober]

of course, the 3rd hardest hit ball of the game finds heywards glove. the other 2 were solers

[itisallpartoftheplan]

[George Hayduke]
