Still out of likes from last night , seen a few comments up through here I would like .Cards up 4 to 0 3rd inning its looking like the Cubs may be faced with a must win to hold on to first place plus the Reds may win as well before tonights  Cubs Yankees matchup.

 

 The forum may have deactivated "likes". I too still have none.

This Harvey thing, whatever it was, seems to have greatly affected the team. They are down 6-0. The pitcher subbing for Harvey did not have it. The team had been hitting well lately but they look flat today. They are hitless after 4 innings. There is still time but they seem flat.

 

Who wants to trade for Harvey? Who needs pitching?

Not really we keep getting people hurt lol it wont matter

The team had been hitting well lately, scoring an average of 8 runs per game in the last week. Facing a pitcher making his first start, Mets hitters are hitless after 5 innings. There is still time but they seem flat.

Ouch

Harvey was suspended without pay. He was supposed to start today. It must be serious.

You get them back 24 hrs after you posted them I think and if that's the case I will be waiting a bit.

[NFLfan 8,462]

Yay!  There will not be a no-hitter. Lol

I believe this is the second time I have run out of them. But I wonder why people don't use them?

The Mets announcers mentioned that the Cardinals pitchers have the best ERA in the majors.

Yes other than Wainwright , things are coming around. We just cant afford to be losing anymore position players.

IMO Their Starters have been excellent but they have had issues in the bullpen

Not really as much lately, Broxton is off one game on next . Oh started shaky early but form has been great the last 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. Rosenthall has been ok but was shaky when he returned. Broxton in my opinion is a liability he helped blow the 4 run lead against the Brewers. In that Game Bowmen gave up homer to lose but actually has been most consistent from get go. My big concern early was Oh but I'm not worried there anymore. They were losing early not scoring and playing shoddy Defense.Seigrest had bad start but hes been good lately as well.Socolivich  and Broxton era just under 8 other than them 2 I'm happy with BP last 2 to 2 1/2 weeks.

And to your credit PT yes the bullpen was terrible early say first 12 games. Broxton and Solocovich are expendable to me. Wainwright would do well in the pen . Bring up one of the young arms for his spot in the rotation.

Going to 9th tied 4 4 Cecil gave up home run. That ballpark will not let you get by with mistake pitches. Built on hill always wind blowing out to center.

[PrincetonTiger 8,513]

Shocker

 Brett Anderson has been placed on the DL

[Jay Kirk 3,329]

Cards Braves in 14th 4to 4

[Jay Kirk 3,329]

Pham 2 run dinger Cards 6 Braves 4 , lets close this out.

[Jay Kirk 3,329]

Going to the bottom of 14 6 to 4 Cards

[Jay Kirk 3,329]

Cards in first place tie as we speak , up to the Cubs to keep the Cards or possibly the Reds out of it tonight. Reds up 4-0 could be new division leader.

I don't know what happened but they are reporting on the radio that my Mets have suspended Matt Harvey without pay "for violation of team rules". He was supposed to start today.

 

Get rid of the guy, please.

Report I'm hearing is he developed a migraine after playing golf the day before & didn't show up to the ball park for yesterday's game.
