With the All-Star Break just about upon us, if you are like me, you may be wondering what baseball you can watch when the events in Kansas City are quiet. The key happenings include Sunday’s Futures Game, the Home Run Derby on Monday, and Tuesday’s All-Star Game followed by Wednesday’s day off.
The Royals are hosts for the festivities, with Kansas City’s ties to the St. Louis Cardinals considerable. One such link is between FOX Sports Kansas City and FOX Sports Midwest.
The former has planned over three days of special baseball programming scheduled around the All-Star events. A number of these programs have direct or indirect connections to the Cardinals.
All of the following, initiated from FOX Sports Kansas City, will also be simulcast on FOX Sports Midwest.

Browning’s record of perfection is maintained today.
I’m kinda picky about the term “perfect.”
Perfect would be 3 pitches, all strikes. with not even a foul ball, for a strikeout to every batter you face.
For example a real PERFECT game would be 81 pitches and 27 strikeouts.
why would that be better than 27 pop ups? 27 pitches?
If you are perfect they can’t pop it up.
Disagree, a pitch you can’t handle for a hit is just as good as a strike – or as this example proves. often better. I can’t help it if you have the preconceived notion that a strikeout is better than another type of out.
You are talking better. I am talking perfect. Perfect, literally is they can’t hit it.
If they can hit it, it could be for a base-hit. Looking in 20-20 hindsight that it wasn’t a hit is not relevant.
MY GOSH OUR GUYS HAVE, i MUST SAY IT, BALLS.
The walk Danny D. drew was classic.
Even the one game the Marlins took, we were rallying like heck at the end.
The Marlins soap opera continues. Pricey closer Heath Bell surrenders another loss.
The Cards end the pre-ASG session with a couple of wins. Good. They should prevail at home against a team like the Marlins. We will soon be re-inforced by return of Lance Berkman. We need help.
Excellent job by Joe Kelly, 6 IP, no earned runs.
They were 2 HUGE wins before the break. The Pirates and Reds are winning as they close too.
Your enthusiasm is welcome, Wes.
It will be good to get Molina and Berkman back in action.
With those two wins, the Cards pulled to .500 since May 1.
.500 is better than below .500
Neither will get a team into the post-season.
Oh for God sake. The team rallies for 3 in the ninth of the final game before the break, the game before coming back from 2 down to win, and all you can do is try and find a way to belittle it.
Try and muster up one positive comment about it. Impress me.
Only one of us finds facts belittling.
You come across as a guy disappointed that he couldn’t say 2 games under since May 1st.
I realize you are new here, but this is my blog. I don’t wave pom-poms or take unfounded shots. Sometimes the stories and points of view are positive, other times, less so. That is the way of the world.
Well it appears had you been the TV interview guy right after the game you would have approached Furcal and informed him first thing that the win makes us a .500 team since so and so date.
Don’t beat up on Brian, Westley ………. He’s a friend of mine ……
It is said the Cards are kicking the tires on LHP Brian Fuentes, who Mo and TLR were hot after in 2008. Fuentes is now 36 and has not had a good season for the As, so might not cost much in prospects. We could go with a trio Rzep, Fuentes, and perfect Browning.
Interesting conversation we had right here about Fuentes (and Looper) in 2008.
The haul from the June 2009 US draft turned into one of the best: Miller, today’s winner Kelly, SS Jackson, 3B Matt Carpenter, Trevor Rosenthal, Matt Adams, Anthony Garcia among them.
Looks promising, but most haven’t yet reached the majors.
In retrospect, Mo was lucky or smart on Looper. Aaron was unable to land a multiyear gig after 2008. He might have accepted arbitration and cost the Cards $6MM and no comp pick.
You mean Braden, but yes. I think the Cards knew that someone else should overpay.
