Credited with 2 PB while I was listening.

Watching live he missed a whole hell of a lot more! Definitely not Willie back there. Missed his debut with the Cardinals.

Reds tied for 1st.

10-22 for the Cards. This is the first time in my lifetime *that I can actually remember* the Cards being a total non-contender. And honestly it’s overdue. Blow the whole thing up. All of it. They are absolute toast. Fire sale. Throw every single last hint of “the Cardinal way” in the garbage and move forward with something resembling the modern game.

Blame Contreras.

I’d love to. But that would be quite unfair.

Same with me, I’m 36 and my grandpa got me started on them when I was about 8. Can’t remember a season that started like this.

It’s ok. He kind of earned it since he said the Cardinals were a better organization as soon as he left the Cubs. Which, he’s not necessarily wrong, but that’s an unnecessary dagger to the Cubs faithful who backed him fiercely.

LOL...I remember the Cards of the 70s very well.  Never finished 1st in the their division.  I didn't mind them back then.

BTW, the A's are on pace to win roughly 29 games this season. 

That's not particularly good. 

Guess Moneyball went broke!

Break up the Reds.

Ha! I keep waiting to see how their management will screw this up.

Nah.  Management has it all figured out.

Reds en fuego! Streak at 11, longest since 1957

[LIHoosier]

Perfect! What's so amazing is that his last start was so freaking awful.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a minute.

Might be a fun finish for the NL Central. Now the Cubs are exploding. Tougher test starting a series with the Braves tonight though. 

[LamarCheeks]

Grew up about 45 minutes from Chicago, so am a Cubs fan. Always have been. Always will be. 

But these days, I live about 10 miles from Baltimore's Triple-A team, so have seen a lot of these youngsters come through here and am in the O's TV market, so get to watch them regularly. These Birds are a fun team -- and could be good for a few years. 

Besides, everybody knows that once Buck Showalter leaves a team, it goes to the World Series!
