Game 138 Thread: Sept 1 vs. Cardinals, 7p

Playing Cards.

Eric Lauer (8-6, 4.78) vs. Michael McGreevy (5-9, 3.86).

We had sparks of offense in the final game of an otherwise disappointing 2-4 road trip, which served to waste some outstnading pitching performances throughout both series. Now we come back to Chavez Ravine--where Kyle Tucker is even worse, mind you--and see if we can maintain our thin hold on the second playoff spot (a half-game over the Braves, who inexplicably lost to the Giants in a makeup game Monday).

We'll see!

Remember my meatball comment? He's just given up two home runs. Lauer sucks.
