Cards lose their suspended game, 4-2.

Excellent.....

Also fuck FOX. The local channel lists Cards vs. Reds from 12-3pm, but they have Yanks vs. Blue Jays on instead.

So if the Cards lose again, and we win tonight that's only 4.5 out of first I believe. We really have to take care of business with the Pirates next week.

Check again. Cards-Reds had to finish a suspended game from yesterday first. It's possible today's game is now on.

I'm guessing the reason for that is, because of having to finish the suspended game, today's game started like a half hour after all the other Fox games.  So I think they must be showing that game now just in the St. Louis & Cincy markets.

Speaking of which:

 

 1

 3 (B5)

Probably. Plus there's a time constraint with some shitty college football game at 330 locally.

Yeah that would explain it.  The game was supposed to start at noon CT, but didn't start until about 12:30 because of the suspended game.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

I said it before, and I'll say it again: we're coming for you, St. Louis.

[Kid]

Cards lose twice.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

Five games back.

Could have been 3 had we swept them last week.

The Blue Jays announced that they have acquired Darwin Barney from the Dodgers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.  As a post-August 31st acquisition, Barney will not be eligible for postseason play.

<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Barney, 29, appeared in two games for the Dodgers this season and spent the rest of the season in Triple-A.  At Oklahoma City, Barney slashed .277/.325/.354 with four homers and seven steals across 96 games.  For his career, Barney has a .245/293/.336 major league batting line in parts of six seasons with the Cubs and Dodgers.

<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Of course, the 2012 National League Gold Glove Award winner has more of a reputation for his defensive work than his hitting.  For his career, Barney owns a strong 12.9 UZR/150 rating at the second base position.  He also has 149 2/3 innings experience at shortstop, where he has graded out with a 40.0 UZR/150, albeit in a very limited sample size.

<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Barney will join the Blue Jays in New York for today’s contest against the Yankees.

 

 

I guess he is their fill in while Tulo is out.
