So here’s the deal- I’m away. TheMomCat is also away. Consider these Open Threads rather than live blogs. I’ll come back later and fill in the inning by inning detail. Don’t be afraid you’re jumping the Tip Jar.
I don’t need mojo here.
Senior League Division Series: Pirates @ Cards Game 2
There is no denying the Pirates got a good thumping last night, but as a Manager you say “Just a W. We’ll kick their ass today.
Well, will we?
The Cards looked very strong, just as you always do in a 9 – 1 rout. The Pirates had other flaws besides the melt down of A.J. Burnett, they also committed 3 errors. Carlos Beltran seemed like the reincarnation of Reggie Jackson, but Reggie wasn’t that good either.
Today they put up Lance Lynn (15 – 10, ERA 3.97 R) against Gerrit Cole (10 – 7 3.22 ERA R) So it looks more even. Remember, if you can steal a single victory in the away park it gives you an advantage going on.
