ST. LOUIS BROWNS

o

The 1882 St. Louis team.

The first year of the Cardinals' franchise.

At the time, they (the Cardinals) were known as the Brown Stockings.

Wonder if Lackey is in the clubhouse with some beer and chicken?

I wonder how Lackey feels to be with A.J. again. They weren't Besties, were they?

Is it possible for anyone to be besties with AJ?

Why did the Tigers go to Nathan with a 1 run lead in 9th? Lead off single.

Blue Jays got 1 and 3 1 out down by 1. Nathan is awful.

Why did the Tigers go to Nathan with a 1 run lead in 9th? Lead off single.

Scherzer was dealing and only at 106.

Joe Nathan is worthless.

Lackey's last two starts against the O's:

10.2 IP, 20 hits, 11 ER
