So many #Cubs fans blistering replies re: DH. Some thoughts:
— Your team is 13-3 and you’re worried it cannot survive series vs rookie-infused rival that hasn’t played in 17 days?
— Series was at least 27 innings. It will now be 37.
— Cover 10 extra, maybe go 4-1.
Why the angst?


The Cardinals will have played three games with the White Sox before visiting Wrigley

Sounds like somebody's building a strawman there.  I don't know any Cub fans here who have all that much angst over it.  I just look at it as a chance to bury them for the season.

My concern wouldn't be playing the Cardinals, but the downstream affects on the pitching staff of playing 2 double headers in 3 days.  Expanded rosters help and if they could get a couple of complete games that would make life better too.

I thought all Cardinals and former Cardinals LOVED St. Louis.  Lance Lynn didn't get the memo.

"I'm not going to lie to you: That win was probably the most satisfying I've ever had in my career, not counting the playoffs,” Lynn said. “I enjoyed it quite a bit, beating them. It's one of the teams I [did] not have a Major League win against, and now I do, and I definitely enjoy it.

"Prove it, hatefulness, a little bit of everything,” added Lynn of the emotion behind his effort.

The new whine in St. Louis is about upper management not taking steps during Free Agency to shore up the pitching staff.  Wainwright and Flaherty are fragile, and all they added only Matz.  Sure, we had to have a catcher, but the first priority should have been pitching.  We have a great line-up but we're losing games.  Waaa waaa waaa.

Flaherty is toast. he lost 5 mph in his first start from the 1st to the 3rd inning. Its bad. I loved watching him pitch at his peak.

Tough loss for Cards tonight in SF.

Giants Utility C/LF Blake Sabol hits 2-run homer with 2 outs and 2 strikes in bottom of 9th, as Cards blow 2-run lead they took into bottom of 9th. All runs unearned as Edman made error allowing leadoff hitter to reach.

Ouch.

Cubs now 5 games up on Cards.

Mike Shannon has died.  May have been the last of the "good" Cardinals.

Cardinals fans doing plenty of booing at their club tonight. Watched last few innings and home crowd is restless, as Cards lose their 7th straight and bolster their lead with worst record in NL.

I've been surprised by several things this season, but the Cardinal issues are the biggest.  Never would have thought it.  You are correct; Cardinal fans are up in arms.  Greatest fans in the world.

Yeah, Cards fans came into season with high expectations. So, kind of understandable they are upset.

129 games left in the season and I suspect they will be pretty good at some point. But, their current woes probably means that NL Central is wide open.

Cards lose 8th straight.

Thanks to getting to play Cards, Tigers now move into 2nd place in AL Central.

Cubs 7 1/2 up on Cards.

Let’s enjoy while it lasts.
