It's 2064. The Cards and Cubs are battling for the 8th wild card spot. Kyle Hendricks skips his beer league softball game to throw five scoreless innings against St. Louis.
Yadier Molina went to the Cincinnati All-Star Game and was booed mercilessly. He took it like a champ.
Just kinda came to mind with some of these guys backing out of this year's game.
This is the day (as
@AugieNash
reminds) that the Cards got Chris Carpenter in 2002 and Adam Wainwright in 2003. Talk about a high holy day for Cardinal Nation! St. Louis should be basically closed today in honor.
I appreciate Mike Shildt being loyal. I appreciate his wanting to stay the course. But when you get no-hit through six innings in two straight playoff games, it might be time to shuffle.
I never expected Heyward's time in Chicago to be so miserable or ineffective. He got a ring, which isn't easy to do in that place, but overall that was a bust of a contract that I'm glad the Cardinals avoided.
We had this princess for almost exactly eight years. Leia left us tonight after stealing my seat one last time. Only fair since she stole my heart a long time ago.
There are drawbacks to bringing back Adam Wainwright, I just don't really care. Part of enjoying baseball is the connections you have with the players. I'd much rather watch a team of players I like, even if they aren't at the top of their game.
Alec Burleson on catching a Cody Bellinger fly ball to end the sixth inning on a windy day at Wrigley: "It was like trying to catch the moon in a solar eclipse." 😂

Remember this offseason when the Cubs signed Darvish and the next day the Cardinals signed Norris? And everyone said, "Oh, THAT'S your counter? Really?"
Good times.

@DannyMacTV
: "They're shocked here at Wrigley!" One pitch after Yadier Molina takes Craig Kimbrel deep, Paul DeJong does the same and gives the
#STLCards
the lead.
This Cardinals replay is airing now and again at 9pm on FOX Sports Midwest.
Hear that the Cardinals are in serious discussions to trade outfielder Richie Palacios to the Rays for pitcher Andrew Kittredge. Not a done deal yet. But working on it. Kittredge further addresses StL desire to deepen pitching staff. Palacios is LHH OF after TB dealt Raley.
Sorry,

In Albert Pujols's debut, Darryl Kile was the starter.
Zack Thompson, the only player since to wear 57, appeared in Albert's last game (assuming he doesn't play today).
I can't imagine too many people have been DFAd and then returned to the active roster within half a week.
Seriously, this whole thing feels like someone making it up as they go along.
It's a holiday so I am giving

I appreciate what Carp has done but you have to use him as a bench player the rest of the year. Start fresh next year if you want, but there’s not much time left.
It's way too early for
