L will be watching the Cardinals. My wife is a rabid fan although she is throroughly disgusted right now. I like hockey: my wife not so much.

There are a lot of ex- Blues players in the playoffs.

I have always felt that Lars Nootbar is a 4th outfielder. As was mentioned above, he has had injury issues and has had trouble staying on the field. To this point in his career, he has not provided enough offensive punch. I have not looked this up recently, but I believe his best year for RBI...

I believe Chip had the weekend off as did Rooney on the radio side. I think Tom Ackerman does a good job. And anytime Thompson is not in the booth is a plus for me.

The focus should not be on an bad umpire, who made a bad call. It should be focused on the fact that this team had the bases loaded with no outs and could not push a run across. Furthermore, Redbird pitching gave up 6 runs to a team that is potentially historically bad. The boys need to look in...

I lived just south of I80 for years in Northeastern Illinois. I got my fill of Cubs and White Sox. By the way Steve Stone is one of the better analysts around in my opinion. Harry Cary and Jimmie Piersall were dynamite back in the day on White Sox broadcasts.

I still get it on DIRECTV. By the way coming home from Cotsco yesterday, I caught part of the first game on one of the local radio outlets, which there are several. I just want to say that John Rooney and Rickie Horton are a very good pairing on radio in my opinion. I am not a fan of Brad...

In my view Yadier Molina has not shown any inclination to remain in the states for any extended period of time since retirement.

When injured in 2022, Molina left the country and went to Puerto Rico.

From the penthouse to the outhouse, that is not the Cardinal way. I lived through the 70's. It was not pretty.

I have not changed my offseason projection/hopes. I think the Cards are an 81 win team. As eveyone knows this would be a 10 win improvement over 2023.

I will concede that Edmonds is not the best. At least I can listen to the telecast. I know this will be unpopular, but I mute most of the broadcast when Brad Thompson is on. There is some thing in his delivery that is offputting. He is too much of a fanboy for my tastes. I will admit that he is...

I think I read that the Cardinals are on their 3rd hitting coach in 5 years.

60 years plus and counting.

I heard on Major League Baseball network that in the winter that Skip's contract was restructured so thaty Skip could opt out after 2024.
