Tom Gorzelanny wasn’t quite dashing in his return to the rotation, and the offense continues to sputter. Hooray for late September in a losing season, eh?
And I learned something that may have been little known only to me.

Doesn't matter if you hold them to one. Can't win if you don't score.

Also pitch count debates, Mariano Rivera's ridiculousness, increased shifting in baseball, and so much more.

Even if Garza is healthy and effective, we can't ignore the fact that, in a trade, he's a pure rental.

Although last night's game was exceptional, Barney is actually putting together a great offensive stretch. Consider the possibilities ...

He leads the team. He led the team last year too. He isn’t fast, but picks his spots as well as anyone I’ve ever seen.
It’s really impressive for a guy of his size, (lack of) speed, and age.
Yadier Molina has 8 stolen bases this year and had 9 last year. How’s that for a brainfuck?
I no longer know up from down.
As much as I hate the Cards, I have to give Tony credit for getting his players yo be aggressive but not dumb. They take the extra base when they know they can get it. It’s hqrd to believe a guy with countless DUIs can get guys to play so smart.
Don’t give McDrinkin the credit. AP has consistently flown through stop signs at third base and has free reign out there. He busts his ass and the coaches respect it – even when he pushes it too far on rare occasion.
As for Molina…I am as dumbfounded as the rest of you. Dude is a double-play magnet due to his lack of wheels. How he steals a base is beyond me.
He picks his spots, either because he has great instincts or he is well coached. Good baserunning can win a game and as Cubs fans know, bad baserunning can lose one.
