"Jerry, just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it." - George Costanza
St Louis Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Pirates (Game #1 of Doubleheader)
Cards send Carlos Martinez (0-2, 10.32 ERA) to the mound, his third start since returning to the Cards on Sept 8th. He was hammered in both previous outings , giving up 7 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings, throwing 90 pitches in his last outing the Cards obviously aren't exactly worried about saving him for any postseason although the playoffs aren't out of the question despite the Cubs seemingly running away with the division thus far.
The hapless Pirates send Trevor Williams to the mound today (1-7, 6.35 ERA) This asshole has given up 24 ( 23 earned) runs in 21 innings over his past four starts. Despite this he is apparently the Pirates iron horse this year being the only asshole on this team to give them a 7 inning start.
This game is screaming Over at me. It is screaming loudly at me to stop being a **** and put some extra jack on this one as its going wayyyyy Over and fast at that. That being said, the George Costanza Opposite Theory Pick of this Friday, the 18th of September is THE UNDER IN THE CARDS V BUCS. I have yet to see a number posted but grab it early whatever it may be "angry, like an old man sending soup back in a deli" and take the Under like George would. BOL Gentlemen. Let's watch some men in tights throw balls around for more money than we will ever see in our lifetimes.
