General PH8 Stuff
Each and every single one of us has done at least 1 thing in our lives that we’ve almost immediately regretted doing, and we’ve been mildly embarrassed at a minimum or brutally ashamed and guilt-ridden at a maximum. Maybe we’ve offended someone by speaking too loudly at a dinner party about the host’s over-exuberant use [...]

St. Louis and San Diego are locked up in a tight one, thanks to a key defensive play by Daniel Descalso. The Cards’ third baseman snared a Ryan Ludwick grounder with the bases loaded and doubled up the Padres to keep the Birds on the Bat leading through six. Jaime Garcia continued his domination through [...]
As the Tweet community knows, TLR was kind enough to put Jaime Garcia in the No. 8 hole for today’s game. Garcia has responded for the PH8 crew by dominating San Diego through two innings. Stay tuned for updates from Nick, Dennis, and I all day!
