The Morning Tailgate
Much like Tuesday morning, I’m here to serve up online links as part of your balanced breakfast. Unlike Tuesday morning, we’re firing on all cylinders and are ready to go at 8:00 sharp. As for the Cardinals, they didn’t look to sharp on Tuesday evening (seamless transition). Braden Looper recovered after a shaky 1st inning and held the Pirates scoreless from the 2nd inning through the 7th. A few outs later, Yadier Molina morphed into Hector Villanueva and played the catcher position with his head in his hiney. Tough loss on a night when the Brewers fell at home to the Astros.
