GDT : Cardinals vs Cubs (7/29) ~ 6:45pm CDT

[82birds]

With May hanging around the dugout, I doubt any deal has been made yet.

agree, but he will be.
if he were traded just now, he'd be in the locker room calling his wife most likely.

[82birds]

the high flyin' Cubs shut out for six innings.

Jj is started to swing with the Dylan Carlso uppercut, hitting the top of a long pitches and grounding out.

You don’t want to be mentioned in the same breath with Carlson. Carlson was a colossal failure.

[11WSChamps]

Lets see a hit and run here.

Bloom has a trade in the works.

I've been giving them an inning or two and then moving on- don't think I am the only one. Even if they get it together in the next year or three it is going to be hard to re-build the fan base. They can run a bunch of their own spots during the game but they need ad revenue from actual advertisers. They need Ballpark Village revenue and not just on game days. They need people to want to rent the apartments. They have a lot of needs.

They need to play well enough to prevent fans from wanting to put out their own eyes with ice picks. Right now it is better to move on to something else for entertainment.

I agree- been watching for 65 years. If they are still in the game I normally watch till the end or until the wheels come off but as you said there are a lot of other things to do.

About the same years for me. 1960 to now. I remember following any way I could, including the transistor radio for late night west coast games. We are lucky to be able to watch all the games we are, although the selling certain games by MLB is annoying. I take the night off when they do that, although I subscribe to one or two that have the broadcast. Direct TV used to have all the games.

Listened to tons of games on the old transistor radio. For some reason Direct gave me the baseball package so there are plenty of other games on every night and I can hear some quality announcers!

I read both newspapers Globe and Post, and had an Uncle who save the Sporting News, at one time the Baseball Bible for me. Read them from cover to cover. The minor league section was the Craviduce of their time.

TSN was the goods, back in the day. I’m gonna paraphrase Harry from, I believe, 1965: “You know you’re in trouble when you walk into the clubhouse and see more copies of “The Wall Street Journal” than “The Sporting News.”

Only Harry could have come up with that.

You are doubtlessly correct, 11.

[Hoosier59]

Burly another hit off a lefty

[cbcardsfan]

[RunSup]

Dustin May to the dugout to call his wife. We hardly knew you.

[cosmo.kramer]

Great at bat by Blaze after the guy just walked Fermin in four pitches
