Oh hey Wild Card! Only Kansas City, Cleveland, Toronto, New York, Seattle and L.A. stand in our way. Four wins to .500. Brett provided last night's recap of Alex Cobb's stellar night at Busch Stadium, and also predicted the future a few days back: @brett_or_brent @d_russ beeelieve— James Edward Krueger (@jamesEkrueger) July 24, 2014 While in St. Louis, the self-proclaimed "best fans in baseball" tried to woo David Price by buying him some drinks and offering him a suite at the Cardinals game.

Breaking News: Yadier Molina tore a thumb ligament, will require surgery.
Yadier Molina tore a ligament in his thumb sliding into third base last night. Expect surgery and at least two months on the shelf for the All-World catcher.

Injuries always worry me, and players seemingly hurt after a slide are one of the most concern-inducing for me. The in-game announcement was that Molina suffered a sprained right thumb on the slide. This did nothing to assuage my worries. A...
