I'm a tad bit surprised that CJ is hitting seventh today after his last game, but not too much.

In the fantacrap league, Lohse's been one of my stars. I've worried all day.  If I drop him tonight, in the world of magical thinking, he'll be spectacular. If I play him, in the world of magical thinking he'll be spectacular. Here's hoping he sucks.

Yes. Damnit, JD. This slump needs to end soon if you want to hit third.

Wellsir, I've been trying to do the thing here where you put words into a hyperlink, but I am just too stupid to figure out how to do it. I know that it is easy to do, but fuck me. Meanwhile, it's 2-1 Good Guys top 2

The Piranha strikes on the first offering again and goes yard, a three run blast. It's 5-2 now.

I thought that Rusty Staub threw out the first pitch. They have more than one person throwing out the first pitch? That sucks.

Well fuck. Holliday hits a triple, scoring Jay, who had reached on an infield single. Craig hits a Sacrifice fly. It's now 5-4 with one out.

Harrell is really laboring and is not in synch right now. He's well over 50 pitches through 2 1/3 innnings.

It'll need to given the way that Harrell is throwing. He doesn't look right tonight. There's some mechanical problem going on tonight. His command is really off. He's at 64 pitches through three innings.

Yeah he's definitely not comfortable. Kind of looks like he's just flailing towards home plate.

He's falling off even more toward 3B tonight than I've seen him. He needs a three up three down inning facing the 8-9-1.

And Harrell gets them in order in the top of the fourth. He needed that. He's at about 75 pitches through four.

SoCal, eh? I like the cool weather of NorCal. Harrell gets the two strike sacrifice down and moves the runner to 2B.

Harrell's done after 5 1/3. He is responsible for the two runners. The Nibbler is coming in to pitch to Descalzo, who is then pinch hit for with Robinson, who is out on the first pitch P5. Two outs for Furcal.

Furcal out 6-3. WW does it and reduces his BAA from right handed hitters to .500 (4-8). 5-4 Bottom 6

Salas on to pitch for the Cards. Snyder leads off with a walk, and WW sacrifices him to 2B with one out.

Yes? RT @moisekapenda Did Jed Lowrie, riding a 7-game hitting streak and 12 for last 23, just attempt to sacrifice with two on and no outs?

I really wish MLB.TV would allow the post game show to be seen on games.

Don't like that 0-2 pitch selection but what do I know?

That was a horrible pitch to throw 0-2 to a guy who handles the bat as well as Furcal does.

He's really happy about how the team is playing, the remarkable Altuve story, and that they're gaining confidence.

I thought the sons had quit playing?

Third son decided to play Junior League this year.  Surprised us. 

The 7 year old is in his first year of pitching machine.  His body build is like Prince Fielder, and he strikes out more than Mark Reynolds and Ryan Howard combined.  He should make a great offensive lineman someday.

You're absolutely right. It's always great to hold on to win a close one, especially against the hated Redbirds.

I don't understand the fantasy baseball with points system.  We do head-to-head, 5x5, which is pretty much a crapshoot but very entertaining.

I do both, points so far is much more difficult.
