CONTEST: To win a 1-year subscription to #CardsMag, name 1 of Pete Kozma’s favorite bands using #KozmaInCardsMag...

lol

i am definitely entering this contest

i see that two possible answers are audioslave and godsmack

jesus christ, pete kozma, come on

were you expecting neutral milk hotel?

i was expecting counting crows or third eye blind

i like the idea of pete kozma wandering through the rock and roll hall of fame on an off day, alone, looking for audioslave gear

morello is a cubs fan, smh

how long has MM been bringing Rosenthal into ties? :)

he actually did it on accident tonight

haha

if there's extras i'm going to bed, leave KMOX on

michael wacha is 24 today

supposedly fired their scouting director over the hacking, which is kind of big

Kemp leads off with a walk, Molina throws him out stealing from his knees.

shamefully i must admit i had CCR's "molina" queued up and was really excited to play it at full volume when that happened

supposedly fired their scouting director over the hacking, which is kind of big

he had just finished overseeing his first draft, too. what a fucking asshole. i'm assuming there will be more to come, too, given the final paragraph of the MLB.com story:

According to the Post-Dispatch, Correa was not responsible for the leak of Astros' data that occurred last summer, nor did he take part in subsequent breaches that the FBI alleges to have occurred.

tommy pham in the starting lineup today, it looks like?

somehow i missed his debut last year, or forgot about it: 6 games, 2 PAs, 0 hits

Charges pending in alleged Cardinals computer intrusion of Astros

Federal investigators have recommended charges be brought against at least one St. Louis Cardinals employee implicated in the probe of an alleged computer intrusion of databases belonging to the Houston Astros, officials briefed on the investigation said Friday.

But it was not immediately clear which employee was to be charged.

please be mark reynolds, pleeeeease be mark reynolds

lol

GAAAHHHHH

fuck fuck fucking Peralta

everything Bob Costas said about Pedro Strop is true.

Bill Murray calls Cardinals fans 'satan's messengers'

The Chicago actor wasn’t finished teasing Cardinals fans at the golf tournament. While walking down a fairway, Murray saw a young boy wearing a Cardinals hat. The young boy asked for an autograph, but the Cubs fan in Murray came out.

“Are you a Cardinals fan? Get out of here. Rotten kid,” Murray said to the kid

And Murray kept walking down the fairway.

This is a lesson learned by Cardinals fans; don’t ask Bill Murray for an autograph.

hahaha

kinda surprised wong has 'only' (still tied for 7th in the NL) been plunked 7 times with the way he's on top of the plate + lifted front foot

He's a little over 5 feet tall so it balances out

Cincinnati fans were hilarious last night. lol yadi on getting booed during the introductions:

"Obviously, when you spend 12 years coming to Cincinnati and you beat them so many times, they're going to boo you," Molina said.

did you see Pujols joining in?

https://t.co/3yoM9Nq6gC

hehe, yeah

it's funny how many people on that tweet thread thought he was being serious!

i'm gonna guess "tweet thread" was not the correct term

Holliday back for Mets series

0-5, 3 double plays for yadi

26 hits 2 runs

metropolitans 24 LOB

cool game last night

looks like piscotty got the call up for tomorrow. he's been playing 1B in memphis for the last two weeks so presumably he'll at least get a shot at it over reynolds. outfield seems impossible to break through, with holliday/heyward/grichuk/jay/bourjos all ahead of him.

AND Tommy Pham.

sheesh, Mo needs to make a move

Piscotty cometh. won't be hard to outhit either corner infield spot at this point.

Pretty brave of them to call up a player named for how children pronounce the word "spaghetti."

craig edwards had a decent write-up earlier today:

http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/st-louis-cardinals-sabermetrics-analysis/2015/7/21/9007097/Cardinals-prospect-stephen-piscotty-called-up-to-majors-mlb

(weird url, since there's no sabermetrics analysis in the article (unless you count ISO i guess). i'd blame SEO, but are people really searching for "sabermetrics analysis"?)

Matheny has him in LF, batting 9th. -_-

Piscotty, post-game:

"When I was able to get the hit and lay off a couple of pitches low and was really able to see it and attack and be in a good hitter’s count, after that, I was able to see the ball a lot better," Piscotty said.

Piscotty just got scratched from line-up. Hmmmmmmm

just a stiff neck *sadly turns drudge siren off*

was he originally slated to play 1B tonight?

just realized this is a 1-game series against KC. following a 2-game series against the chisox. weird week of games!

yep, looks like he was. bummer! i was looking forward to seeing how he looked at 1B. guess i'll have to wait til...probably tomorrow or something

yeah, I thought it might have been a trade. I've been listening to some sports talk radio and we are close to moving Piscotty and a middle reliever for Stanton or Harper. the only thing stopping us is Mozeliak is dumb.

i was forced to listen to sports talk radio last week (when i was visiting missouri for a short spell) and it was a nightmare

i guess it's not really their fault. i think it's impossible to have a daily sports talk show and not sound like a complete idiot at some point. there's just not enough to talk about

jaime garcia helped peoria no-hit the worst team in the midwest league last night, bet he feels pretty badass
