There is just not enough pitching to be any sort of serious contender. And there are too many holes at this point in the everyday line-up. I give them credit for what I would call overachieving 50 games into the season. I am with those, who do not believe that mangement/ownership will waiver...

We all know that all will be well when Nootbar returns.

He has had a lot of opportunity to shed that 4th outfielder tag ( and staying healthy is part of the job resume). There has never been enough pop in the bat for a corner outfielder.

Nootbar will be an improvement. But he is not a longterm answer. Slot him in at 7-9. Do not let him get near the top of the order like he was last year.

This is another piece of historical information I ran ascross. Nate Colbert was supposedly in old Sportsmen Park the day that Stan Musial hit his 5 home runs.

Nate Colbert. SanDiego Padres. I remembered the team, but Colbert's name escaped my memory momentarily. This record is hard to replicate obviously . However, since there are far fewer Sunday doubleheaders than there were in the 50's, 60's and 70's, the record may never be touched again.

Thank you. I would have figured it out, but it saves me some time. I do not have Apple TV, but I have other options. If Brad Thompson is working the Sunday game, it gives me a break. I like Sweeney much better. Just my personal bias.

Totally agree. However, there are a lot of fans out there who think Victor Scott is the best thing since sliced cheese.

It is so refreshing to have an alternate sidekick in the TV booth.

If you are a team like the Dodgers or Yankees and etal and your playoff position is pretty well assured, you can rest players like this early in the season. However a team like the Cardinals, who have overperformed to this point in the season, cannot afford to give away games like this. I...

A little Swharber like in his early years.

.240 is the Cardinal way.

I saw this elsewhere. One fan referred to the TV crew of Cary and Thompson as Chip and Kool Ade.

Pallante is getting knocked around.

Not today.
