    Nice sweep of the Reds, did what we needed to do to them. We get the Mets now who aren't good, but bad timing as we get both Syndergard and DeGrom. Must find a way to get 2 of 3 from them this series. Our SP has been much better the last 2 weeks! Love me some David Bote! Man he is clutch...

    Man where would we be without that Hamels pickup, wow has he been great! With Votto out, we definitely need to take care of the Reds. Find a way to win today's game with a AAA pitcher pitching would be nice.

    Like the Murphy move. He has always been a proven consistent hitter. Right now we can't really rely on Russell, Happ, Almora and the unproven Bote to provide any kind of consistent offense. We are still in 1st place, but dang the Cards are hot. Been saying all along I didn't want them to...

    Missing University of Iowa Student, Mollie Tibbetts

    I don't believe she was "missing", perhaps I'm wrong. She was found after her boyfriend hit her with his car.

    Oh yeah, these people acting like we don't need Bryant are just stupid. Bote has a very small sample size, he'll have to adjust as teams figure him out. But the way he is playing right now, he deserves the bulk of the playing time over Schwarb, Happ and maybe even Russell.

    Bote is doing nearly everything right so far. Love the way he plays defense at third, been nothing short of gold glove caliber so far. I've always wanted Bryant in LF from the get go a couple years ago. Bote keeps playing like this it just might happen. Joe is all about match ups though, day...

    Huge Series starting today vs. the Brewers. Need to take 2 of 3. Look out though, those dirty birds are lurking.

    Bote is a great story. Who saw this coming? Just kept on working and persevering. Great teammate, anyone else notice how when he gets interviewed he always is talking about his teammates previous at bats leading up to his moment and how great the clubhouse guys are etc.? You can tell he just...

    Hard not to like this guy, just killing it right now with A+ Defense. If Bryant were to come back, which it doesn't sound like he's close I think you have to seriously consider sending Happ down and keeping Bote up. Just relax judzee, lot of games left and our division is tough with the...

    Well guys, just spinning our wheels a little right now seems like. We really could use a sweep of the Royals since we split with the Padres. The losses of Darvish, Bryant and Morrow right now seem to be looming a little larger than they had. We could really use one of them to get back soon...

    Man the Cardinals Defense has been brutal this year... and I love it :D Come on boys, put it to them again today! We could essentially knock the Cards about out of it if we win say 6 of 8 vs them in the next week

    Thought Card fans would miss Matheny since he is "old school" "Cardinal Way" kind of guy but most friends I talk to don't think he is a good manager. Funny stuff though! Cubs end the 1st half with the best record in the league, despite getting nothing from Darvish, Hendricks being off his...

    Absolutely, he is too good of player and too mentally tough not to come up big. We forget he got beaned in the head earlier too this year which is hard to recover from mentally. Even though his power is down he is still very productive and getting on base, also our best baserunner IMO with...

    Left the country and the Cubs go on a 6 game streak. Maybe I should return to where I came from! Darn Reds are a thorn in our side lately!

    Carton Update

    Kind of my thoughts too, I was making sure I wasn't missing something. Kind of a joke, they could easily find another coach such as a currently unemployed NBA coach etc to coach these guys. Ridiculous, and of course they choose blue blood coaches to be the USA coach as if they need any more...

    Carton Update

    "Kansas coach Bill Self, who coached the U18 team to a gold medal, talked with Carton during the tryout camp in Colorado Springs. He hasn't had any direct conversations with Duke or North Carolina." I'd like to know more about how this works and how it is fair to all?

    No more PTL

    I understand and am not upset they got out of the classic, just hoping they get decent matchups of interest to replace it. Just seems like there are a lot of other teams making good matchups happen. Always seems like MSU, Indiana etc have games vs quality opponents on national TV...

    You might be right, I should probably hold my judgement until I see if we can get UNI and Drake at home. But if we don't, and continue with the weak sauce home schedule we've had.... UNI and Drake aren't huge names but at least they draw a little interest compared to some of the teams we've...
