Cardinals may clinch NL Central title tonight

if Cardinals win AND Cubs lose. Both teams are in scoreless games so far.

It'd take a 2-9 finish

Cardinals (tonight) , Reds(3) , Phillies(3) Mets(4)

maybe

Hope not

Of course, they may reach 80 wins

Very nice double play

With the runner on first running, Smoltz bunts down the first base line.
Berkman in what looked like an ill-advised throw goes to second to get the runner out there. A quick relay throw back to first gets Smoltz for the double play.

Smoltz looks good. This is another case where FIP and peripheral stats (while Smoltz was with the Red Sox) have proven to be a better indicator of Smoltz’s ability than the actual pitching results.

Matsii

Nice play on softly hit ball over the pitchers mound to get the runner

"Flashforward" Commercial

 I hated the “Cougar Town” commerical, but I like the “Flashforward” commercials. I feel like watching
