A lot of teams don't spend ridiculous amounts of money on payroll. How many of them are consistently as good as the Cardinals are?

Haha I guess the cardinals just train better

The twins were a pretty low payroll team when we went on like a five year stretch. I guess thats not consistent though

Didn't this just happen for someone else a few years ago, home run on the first pitch of their career?

Also the twins are over .500. I almost died of shock when I saw that.

[Grahamington]

Cardinals lost tonight :/ Oh well. It had to happen eventually. Almost came back in the 9th but Reynolds kind of fucked us on that!

Dodgers dropped 2 of 3 to the worst team in baseball... blah, but, Pederson hit two more homers, he has six in the last seven games, his last seven hits have all been homeruns, pretty nuts.

My friend whose from LA says the Doyers are going to win the World Series this year. In a realistic term, do you agree?

[Gumboy]

I picked the Dodgers to win the World Series this year. They will probably have to have kershaw get over his cardinals thing though to do it.

Good ol' Kerchoke. They might have a chance if they pull him after 6 innings lol. I can see the Cardinals making the play offs but I don't know if they will get to the WS.

Mariners pretty much have one foot in the grave now. Getting way too far behind even if the shitstros start shitting the bed.

Ehhh too early to say. There are 162 games in a season. Mariners just need Griffy Jr back lol

[draynay]

Ehhh too early to say.

He made it to May before acting like the season is over, better than last year.

Oh he gave up on his team last year in April? lol..
Oh thing that blew my mind was when I was watching highlights of random teams, Their stadium is practically empty..
That never happens here at Busch Stadium. I'd love to sit in the first row and get all the foul balls with eas.

Dodgers and Cardinals have been #1-2 in attendance the past few years.

While I wish that was true, The Giants had the #1 most fans when it came to % of seats filled
Dodger Stadium just holds so many damn people that they had one of the largest in # of attendence.

STL was #2 for both Attendence and % of seats filled
SFG were #1 for % of stadium filled
LA was #1 in number of people who went

Correction. Last year STL was #1 in % of seats filled

Yasmani Grandal had one of the more ridiculous lines by a Dodger since Shawn Green, which, IIRC was also a day game against the Brewers...

4 for 4 3 runs 2 walks 2 HR 8 RBI

The bullpen is a fucking disgrace. Trade em all.

[Brogrom]

I'm with Vetali on this one. They have all been terrible so far. Smith is the only one that has been pretty good, but he did give up the game in the ninth on Wednesday. From best bullpen last year to a steamy turd out the gate.

What happened? Why did they trade them?

[Brogrom]

They didn't trade anyone, I am agreeing with him that they should since the entire bullpen has performed horribly so far this season.

Yeah I know that lol. I mean you said they had the best bullpen last year...what happened?

Thats the thing, a lot of people are scratching their heads over it. If anything it should be way better than last year. Losing Tom for 15 days sucked, but even he was shitting the bed. Rodney is for sure the best guy in there right now.

I have a feeling a trade is coming for Ackley. Dude sucks and is out of minor options. Brad Miller is rumored to be taking his place in out field, which I'm ok with.

I'm also ok with our hitting. Its alright, aside from hitting with risp. The pitching is a nut puncher though.

Oh hey Tom was literally just called up from DL. So yay. Hopefully hes good to go.
