IF the Cardinals sweep the Dodgers, they will have a better record.

Just sayin'

Seriously, if I lived near St. Louis, I would be in the stadium Friday night.

We’re getting their worst starters the first two. Sunday could be tough but Dustin May has been rolling. A sweep might be too much to expect but a series win is possible.

What we really need is to win two more than the Reds and one more than the Cubs. 3-way 1st place tie going into the Brewers series and we beat them down. Maybe I’m dreaming too much now lol.

Maybe we put the Pirates in a foul mood and they take it out on the Reds?

If I lived in the area, I’d be right there with you at the park too!

Unless the Cardinals play better at home, a sweep is a tall order. They are below .500 at Busch 7-8
Their record comes from a great road record .. 11-5
I sure hope they can have a good series vs. LAD but 'home cookin' has not been their strength thus far.

LAs offense is 9 deep. Going to be a tall order, especially innings 6-9. Gotta take advantage of every opportunity

I have to confess to the fact my shadow hasn't crossed the entrance to Busch 3 since Oct 10 2015 when Jaimie Garcia shat the bed against the Cubs. But I've gone to minor league games. Anyway, I like kids. And we have kids. I'm gonna come down and watch them.

I was there last Saturday, and the outcome was disappointing, but I’m making the 31/2 hour drive again this Saturday and hope for a better outcome.

I love the optimism, however misplaced it may be. One of my favorite teams is whoever is playing the Dodgers. Good luck!

Inning 6-9 are a night mare for our pen.

I will be!

But the demand from my customers for Sat/Sun has been impressive so not going to get to go to either. :x

One more win and the big IF will have become reality.
