6/22 Cards (Wacha) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20 ABC

[UMFan83]

At the end of the day its just 3 games in June. If they can't come back they are still 9.5 up, and if a "bad stretch" is 8-8 over 16 games, we're fine.

[BigSlick]

Baez....striking out looking twice today? He wont let that happen again for 2 months

[Ding Dong Johnson]

One of those runs is earned because you can't assume the DP, is that right?

pretty much, yes

And they are in the same exact spot as they were at the start of the Pirates series, in terms of the Central standings.

I was going to say 'maybe going on the road is just what this team needs to get going again'

 

But then I realized that i said 'maybe some home cooking is just what this team needs' at the end of the last road trip. Team is in a bit of a funk. A funk that all teams go through and honestly nothing to be overly concerned about (except Jake), but still sucks nonetheless

[BigSlick]

I'm meatballing so hard right now i want to see Miguel Montero shot into the sun

[Andy]

It's too bad Rizzo doesn't possess the platinum glove of Brandon horsefeathering Moss or we'd be in pretty good shape

[Aaron_Kennelly]

horsefeathers this game.

They were in a funk the last time they played St. Louis, in St. Louis. They rebounded okay from that. Better now than in October (hopefully).

Rizzo doesn't make a play on that ball but last night Moss makes a diving play on it, okay

[Andy]

Yeah, only the second run scores on the error

[NotSoSober]

this is depressing. we suck

[Thed Hoyerstein]

what happened to montero?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Put him on the DL and play Willson everyday.

really?

[dfnowak]

This team really misses Fowler at the top of the lineup

[BigSlick]

Well I guess this kinda happened

[Andy]

what happened to montero?

At first glance I thought Moss clipped him in the foot on the slide, but it doesn't look like that. Hard to tell.

[dfnowak]

Here comes the floodgates

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I like Montero more than I like Grimm, and I do not like Montero at all

[Cubswin11]

Why does Grimm suck this year, his stuff in terms of velo seems fine

[UMFan83]

Dropping like flies lately.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Fourth time in his last 9 starts that Arrieta only went 5 innings.

[Omar]

can we plunk them now?
