Really enjoyed the eighth inning in Colorado tonight.
I did too. Well the part where Matt Holliday came up to bat after just being picked up by the Rockies. Remember Holliday played for the
Rockies before being picked up by the Cardinals. Rockies AND Cardinal fans gave Holliday a standing ovation when he came to bat and hit a HR to give the Rockies a 1-0 lead. And as he circled the bases and crossed home plate, the Rockies AND the Cardinal fans were still giving him a standing O. It was very cool to watch and it's why MLB is my favorite sport. A class act by the Cardinal fans.
I know that isn't the reason you posted about enjoying the 8th inning, but I still think the Cards are making a strong run down the stretch. But an 18-5 record in August is pretty damn good and I have no doubt it has the Cubs attention. Like I said earlier, it's shaping up to be a fun end of the regular season.
Cards score 6 runs in the first inning of today's game against the Rockies, but lots of baseball left. 10-1 in the top of the 3rd and still batting. Hahahahahaahaha love it.
