Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals Thread

Team Tweets & News Articles

The St. Louis Cardinals have been eliminated from contention for the NL Central crown and are hanging on by the thinnest of threads in the race for the second NL Wild Card, two and a half games back of the Rockies with the Brewers in between. Last night those dim playoff hopes took what may have been a fatal blow thanks to a couple of foul balls that knocked Yadier Molina out of the game and, possibly, out for the season.

ST. LOUIS – Jon Lester went into get-off-my-lawn-mode, tired of math nerds and people being famous for no reason and the questions about whether or not he will be ready for the playoffs. Lester is actually a great talker when he gets going, introspective, self-deprecating and a voice of authority after winning three World Series rings with the Cubs and Boston Red Sox. But Lester didn’t exactly sound ready to pop champagne bottles after Monday night’s 10-2 win at Busch Stadium eliminated the St. Louis Cardinals from the National League Central race and guaranteed at least a tie with the Milwaukee Brewers for the division title. Whether it was Lester’s brutal honesty, simmering frustration Continue to Article

Sorry, Pittsburgh Pirates, but you won’t sit on the Iron Throne this season. There were bright spots for the Pirates — like Jameson Taillon’s return from a cancer scare and Andrew McCutchen’s return to being a productive player. Though not entirely back to his previous MVP level, Andrew McCutchen bounced back with a pretty nice season (.273/.358/.470 with 26 homers and 79 RBIs). Continue to Article
