GDT : Cardinals vs Cubs (7/27) ~ 6:45pm CDT

I hate this team.

Naw, you don’t. You hate what ownership has let this team become: The Cincinnati Carpetbaggers.

It borders on the criminal.

And to be honest with you, it is not fun to follow these guys. I feel like the little guy with a broom and dustpan at the end of the circus parade.

I feel more like I am following a herd of elephants with a scoop shovel

[11WSChamps]

Helluva way to kill a potential rally.

[cbcloud]

Some of our guys look deflated. They need to suck it up and grow as players. Feeling sorry for yourself is not allowed in the big leagues

...I think we're seeing the "rookie effect" at this point... The team can be discouraged with losing. They are learning though, and should show more improvement as the season goes along...

Wish I had your optimism cbcloud. I just don't feel it lately.

...I'm "barely" optimistic. I picked them to finish 82-80 this season, but they will have to play better than they have since the AS game if that happens.

It is hard for a team of rookies to mesh quickly, especially when players are switched in and out, not batting regularly, and playing different positions many games. The only 2 rookies who have had consistent play at the same position is JJ and Church. I know management is trying to "catch lightning in a bottle," but I think that hurts as much or more than it helps...

got some good one liners sir. A lettle levity in the face of adversity lifts the spirits

Thankee kindly. I could use some spirits to lift. Fresh out of beer, can’t get to my wine in the kitchen without waking the pup and the cork broke off of my fifth of Old Tub. It’s enough to peace off the Good Humor Man.

If Winn could just keep this mindset of hitting up the middle or going the other way.

[Charles King]

There is no excuse for what Herrera did. Have your head in the game

[82birds]

Haven't seen that one before

I haven't either but I knew it was a rule

[11WSChamps]

Winn with an RBI single.

Lot of baseball left.

Ownership deserted this team just like it did its customers, the fans. I refuse to believe anything they say. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me.

Just a brain fart.

Mid-Mo, totally agree.

[cbcardsfan]

Nice job Torres

[11WSChamps]

Oli pushing the right button with Torres.

[82birds]

Torres PH RBI double

good things happen when the lefty was removed

[bartleby the scrivener]

The comeback kids!

[12xu]

Close game now! How about another 2 out RBI Fermin?
