I believe 11 10 to clinch HFA + 11 to win the World Series New magic number is 21.

94 wins and 15 games to go. Nice.

October 10 is not far away.

2016 Victims of Lackey - Kyle Scwarber's ACL - Willson Contreras's Nuts

oh man that just hurts to watch....

Its gonna be funny when the PA announces the "2016 National League Central Central Champions - Your Chicago Cubs" and then a bunch of misfits who had barely anything to do with it run onto the field. (Besides Soler and Contreras)

he wants to go back to a time where america was great. #MAGA

Growing up my parents set lower expectations for me. It felt awful. Made life easier tho.

Unrelated question. If you have five children, do you set lower expectations for the least successful one? Serious parenting question. Let me know your thoughts, moms and dads.

I propose that any mention of Hammel on this website gets automatically corrected to HamLOL Because thats what Hammel is right now. A horsefeathering joke. Also, lets dispel the notion that the 5th starter shouldn't be held to the same strict scrutiny as we hold 1-4.

I prefer to think of it as not as great what metrics has he been worse in? Besides FIP.

Since there isn't any other active thread on this forum about stats I'll just put this here: Are there any live baseball databases available online that allow you to run your own custom SQL queries and joins for your own analysis? In a perfect world I'd just like to pull in a live datafeed into a local SQL server instance, somehow. it would lead to a lot more weird stats generation.

yeah its about time we get a beer bongzilla in the locker room

more like Jason HamLOL m i rite guys?

on the flip side, isn't it detrimental that Cardinals hitters are more familiar with Lester's repertoire close to playoff time?

Derrick Rose of the NFL

Damn, 6 of the 7 Cardinals that have faced the Hammel the most kill him. This seems like the case with Hammel and a lot of teams, except the Brewers.
