  1. For those attending tomorrow night's game, I'm going to see about snagging a spot ~5PM at Ballpark Village at either Cardinals Nation or Brew House pre-game where we can meet for a while. If you want to stay in contact, my email is here.

    (btw, my seat is in the front row of section 167)

  2. I have my Dave Parker tshirt in today and got an appreciative smile and nod from another daycare dad

    You know the one. First the little squint to read it from a distance, then the recognition, then the "niiiiiice" smile and nod.

          1. A universal causality implying greater imperitive for the Twins to improve their future virtue?

      1. I really don't understand that one. Civale is only 28 and can't be a free agent until 2026. Maybe Manzardo will be a star, but it seems to me that Civale is someone you want to build around, not trade away.

          1. I would suggest that if you're going to trade your good players because they're due for raises in arbitration, you're not going to have very many good players.

  3. On July 31, 1972, At Metropolitan Stadium, Dick Allen of the Chicago White Sox becomes only the seventh player in major league history to hit two inside-the-park home runs in a game and the first since 1939. Allen’s two circuit clouts, which come against Bert Blyleven of the Minnesota Twins, in the first and fifth innings to help lift the White Sox to an 8-1 victory.
