Cubs start with one out tomorrow because Burleson touched the bag. New rule
Fly the W!!!
#BUY BUY BUY
*A resurgent Matz had entered the chat.*
I refuse to be hurt again with hope but at the end of the day, watching them win is way better than watching them lose.
My wife asked a really good question that I’d always wondered about. Do the birds take the team bus up to wrigleyville or do they fly?
Burleson would soon rather get Munsoned in the middle of nowhere than get caught playing a mere 27 outs.
I still can’t get over the fact that Yan fucking Gomes tripled twice
All in. Buy at the deadline.
Is that an overreaction? Sure.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing
#WE WON A STEVEN MATZ START!!!
Are we buying or selling? NOBODY KNOWS. Hooray for a soft division and lots of hopium that we can catch up.
I’m here for the comeback. Let’s fly!
I am having fun again. Temporarily. But I am having fun
never felt so uncertain with a 5-run lead but we TAKE THOSE
FUCK THE CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is this Steven Matz guy we got and where did he come from!?!?
https://i.imgur.com/0gT3LhB.png
Say what ya will about Stevie, but he pitched a helluva game tonight.
Why are they doing this to me
I am greatly enjoying that now Mo is probably anxiety ridden over sell vs buy, our team is filled with savages.

This league is too easy for this team man.
We returned from the break with a 7 rpg offense, 4:solid SPs and a lockdown bullpen. Extend all coaching and management!
Edit- I forgot to add a somersault defense
A tepid TON has re-entered the roster.
I don’t know about you guys but I love when we beat the cubs
Mo to announce we’re buyers tomorrow morning.
This bot is insane
I loved seeing Oli laugh there at the end. Seems like the dugout is loose and vibing again.
Here come the Cardinals, tra la tra la
You know it’s been a long sad season already when you see JoJo Romero’s sub 3 ERA and say “that’s pretty good, eh?”
was wondering when my post in r/baseball would get removed 😂 that place is a cardinals hate circlejerk
Winning is nice
Wow the Cardinals hit into 4 DPs and still scored 7 runs. Nice. Also, Matz’s line looks pretty good! Where the heck did that come from?!
The Cards totally win the next 10 games, go a game above .500, and Mo goes and trades everybody because he won’t be made a fool. *”Grrrrr. Nobody makes a fool out of me. I’m trading Goldy, Nado, Gorman, Walker, Donovon, O’Neill, Flaherty, Monty. I sure showed them!”*
The dark magic rises
Hey Chicago, what is this play? You can’t win to save the day
TIL that borscht is a cabbage/beet soup. I always figured it to be some sort of tube of meat. And fuck the cubs, their fans, and the city of chicago.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand as expected, the usual dipshits have nothing to say.
#CLASSIC.
#BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!
Fly the L!!!!
How are we still 10 back. Wasn’t it 9.5 yesterday?
2023 Cardinals: 44-53
1990 Cardinals: 43-54
The 1990 Cardinals won Game 97 against the Chicago Cubs, 9-0.
This game was decided pretty quickly as Cubs starter Mike Harley left the game in the bottom of the first, after recording one out and surrendering eight runs. Twelve Cardinals batted in the bottom of the first, with the big hit coming from my childhood hero, starting pitcher John Tudor, who hit a three-run double.
Tudor threw a five-hit CGSO, and his ERA is down to 2.66.
