Oakland Series.

Post by sikeston bulldog2 »

Good morning.

Could again have won a series, similar to the Mariners series. Next up Oakland.

We get Springs, a lefty, 3.69, verse Pallante.
Then Ginn a righty, 3.89, verse Libby. Then Kooez, 6.11, against McG.

Counting Oakland, this will be our fourth Division Leader- Rays, Cleveland LAD -.5 and now Oakland. We won the other three series, and stand 6-3 against division leaders.

Have we ever played here? I don’t know.

Quick snap shot.

Last year the Cardinals faced Springs in St. Louis, and won that game 5-1. He took the loss, but had only given up 2 runs in 6 IP.

Cards have not played the A's at Sacramento, which is where this series will take place. It is a minor league park. The A's are in first place in their division, but their record is only 21-19, and even at home they are just 8-8.

What to expect then, minor league park. At first glance, they appear mediocre. But they will win a game. Tough road trip. Two good teams. 4-3 would be marvelous.

Then KC, 1.5 games back, Pittsburgh Reds Brewers Cubs. An angry Pitt team, a floundering Reds team, a heads above water Brewers team, and a dominate Cubs team.

Welcome to Sacramento, Cardinals! My brother and I will be there Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. Glad to know we will see Libby and McGreevy.

Awesome. I wonder what concessions will cost as compared to a real stadium experience.

Perhaps Pallante and Gorman could find some time to go apartment hunting while in Sacramento. This would make a very good home for both of them.

On another note, keep an eye on new callup, Henry Bolte. A young OF that would look good in Cardinal red.

It's Major League baseball in a Triple A stadium, with Major League prices. Seats for the Dodgers series next month are going for $400.

I'm expecting some high scoring games. Seems to me balls fly out of that minor league park like Colorado on steroids.
