IGT 08/18 - NYM @ STL - Plodding Along in Ol' St Loo (ll)

[Edgy MD]

Slick Bick, you devil, you.

[Frayed Knot]

I thought Clapp was gonna take him down again.

Which would be, I suppose, better than being taken down by the clap.

[Edgy MD]

I'm all good with the bunt there.

I don't know what they're booing Alonso over. It's them that he threw the ball to.

[Edgy MD]

The second-baseman was WAY over by second.

[Edgy MD]

Masyn's mistake was crossing the bag before making his throw and double clutching even then.

[Edgy MD]

Wow. I've never seen McNeil stand in the box after ripping into one.

[Frayed Knot]

This game went from a dinky single away from tying the game to a blowout in a big hurry.

[Edgy MD]

Gary: "It appears that the fog has cleared for this team, after the early-August post-trade-deadline swoon."

That's a nice thought, but I'll wait until I see them play Atlanta again.

[Edgy MD]

While discussing shortstops with super arms, José Oquendo might well be a part of the conversation.

I like the precedent José getting into the Cardinal HoF when much of his legacy is as a coach. It helps Rube Walker's cause.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It migh be fun for the Ortega-Arauz Mets to make a playoff run

[Edgy MD]

It'd be fun as heck. That road has to go through Atlanta, though.

Walker needs some breathing strips. He's been mouth-breathing up at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

It migh be fun for the Ortega-Arauz Mets to make a playoff run

San Diego and Arizona in a scoreless tie in the fourth.

I'm rooting against San Diego, because I want to catch the team just in front, but either way, the Mets gain if they TCB tonight. Washington charging hard right behind them.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Booookz

[Edgy MD]

For want of a (better game from) Naile, the game was lost.

It was probably lost anyhow, though.

[Edgy MD]

It's interesting to be here for Masyn Winn's debut. This Cardinal team isn't as bad as their record suggests, but they certainly have lacked a certain Ke'Bryan factor.

[G-Fafif]

Plodding along like a boss.

[ashie62]

Another mini streak. Yeah!

It's a SHaM run
