I remember those days of that hot Astro Turf at Busch Memorial and "Whitey Ball" in the 80s as the St. Louis Cardinals were dominant under then Skip Whitey Herzog. Well to cut a long story short the Cardinals put their 2014 HOF Class together and four players were added included CF E.T. Willie McGee of "Whitey Ball" and CF Jim Edmonds an original California Angels Farmhand had his best years of his career playing for the Redbirds hands down. Congrats to those outstanding Redbirds Players...

As for the game at hand it was the Cardinals then taking it right to Brewers Starter Matt Garza 9-3 in a romp avoiding the three-game sweep at the hands of the "Piwowarzy". The Brewers though didn't go quietly at first as they tapped into Cards Starter Shelby Miller with a 2-run HR from Mark Reynolds and a another Bomb of the Solo Variety off the Ash, Maple, or Bamboo of Brewers CF Carlos Gomez to make it 3-1 after 3 1/2 innings as the Redbirds scored in their half of the 1st. Then Redbirds Matt Adams got the Baseball Town USA Party started with a three-run HR in the bottom half of the 3rd to make it 4-3 Cards. The Cards then put up crooked 2's in the 4th and 5th while adding another run in the 6th to cap the scoring at 9-3.

The Redbirds avoid getting swept and after a rocky start Shelby Miller still picks up the "W" moving to 3-2. Brew Crew Starter Garza takes the "L" falling to 1-3 and the way the Brewers are pitching and hitting he will soon fall inn line. Milwaukee falls to 20-8 while the redbirds move to 15-14 in the NL Central...
