Game 77 vs. Cin., L 2-5: When is this team going to hit with some consistency? I was embarrassed to see Ankiel and Duncan hitting back to back. The Reds' pitcher had more hits in this game than that drained duo. Thompson made his case to be put back into middle relief. The Cardinals, as of this game, are 12-for-75 with runners in scoring position. A lot of fans don't realize it, but .160 with runners in scoring position does not a winning team make. Jeff Luhnow despises Stan Musial because he isn't a 25-year-old in Double-A.
Game 78 vs. Cin., W 10-1: I can't say that I watched this game, kids, because Rick Porcello was pitching for the Detroit Tigers. Did you know that the Cardinals passed up on this can't-miss prospect simply because Porcello's agent, Scott something, wanted this high school pitcher to be paid a top major league salary? It's a glaring example of how the Cardinals organization isn't really committed to winning. I guess the Cards did okay in their game, though. I don't know. I like to call Jeff Luhnow "The Spirit of St. Louis" because he stole the Lindbergh baby.
Okay, sports fans, catch me in the Reader and Press. I plan on breaking down the Rams' playoff chances as of July 6.
