{ 34-28 }

THAT'S A WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........

In a storybook comeback fashion the Cardinals beat the Reds 6-5 on a 2 run HR by Nootbaar in the bottom of the 8th , and Riley O'Brien doing his best impersonation of Ryan Helsley , gets out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the 9th to gain his 16th save.....Soriano gets the win and he might need to get a chance at a save in the future...............

Winn 2-5 , 2 rrbi's...........
Walker 2-4 , 1 R , 1 RBI , 1 HR.......
Fermin 3-4 , 2 R .....career high 3 H......
Nootbaar 1-1 , 1 R , 2 RBI'S , 1 HR............

Libby was wild all day long........

Some real baseball analysis going on the TV side today.
Chip: "Brad"? "What do you serve at a pity party"?
Brad: "Coleslaw".

This is why I prefer Mark Sweeney over Brad on commentary. When Brad is doing color, they tend to get sidetracked with non-game related stuff more. It happens with Sweeney at times but nowhere near like it does with Brad.

It's a good thing this forum never gets sidetracked. Hey, did he mention cole slaw? What about cottage cheese? Did he say where the best pizza is in East Peoria?

Torres uses his sweet stroke to put the Cardinals up 3-2 with his 2nd smashed tater of the year.........

Earlier , Burleson hit an opposite field and Walker drilled a heat seeking missile to drive Burly in.......

Conversely , Gorman now in a 3-38 streak with 19 K's.......wow.......

At least it’s tv! Remember listening to radio games with Shannon. He would start telling his story and you wouldn’t have a clue what was going on in the game.

This just makes me so sad. I really had huge hopes for Gorman. What could have been...

One of the KTRS hosts this past week suggested Cardinals should try and do a trade involving Gorman similar to the Lankford/Woody Williams trade from the early 2000s. Only issue is that you'd have to find a team willing to take a chance on Gorman.

Actually, I enjoy listening to the duo of Rooney and Horton. I believe last Sunday evening the the Cardinals were on Peacock which I do not pay for. And I decided to go to the local drive-in for supper. While there I listened to Cardinal broadcast. After I finished supper I drove around town for another 45 minutes listening to the broadcast. I know that I could have gone home and turned on the radio. However, there is nothing like being on the road in your car or truck listening to Cardinal baseball. I agree with the other poster (and I have said it before) Chip and Sweeny are ok together, but there is something about Thompson's flippant delivery which bothers me. I view Thompson as just some sort of Cardinal fanboy. And I will concede that many Cardinal fans want that kind of announcer.

Rooney and Horton have really found their groove as a team on radio. And honestly, I think Horton is better suited for that role as opposed to being on TV (at least aside from pre/post-game work). Some of the long running bits they do (like the pick-to-click (which I know is technically taken from the Sox), the attendance game where Horton manages to guess it correctly every time, etc.) are great.

On a side note though, the Cardinals game last Sunday was on your local NBC affiliate so you could have watched it on there though I get the point you're making.

I do agree that Thompson seems to be on there to be basically pro-Cardinals and nothing else. But his whole shtick aside from that gets very tired very quick.

He's also batting over .300, which in modern baseball is extremely rare. Got 47 rbi too. Clearly he's getting it figured out now; what a future for this guy!
